The major Mayupdatefor Starfield focuses on the Xbox Series X’s performance and overall quality of life. Xbox players are finally getting a 60FPS mode that will help unlock all that smooth frame goodness. If you have a VRR display running at 120Hz, you can even play the game at 40 FPS.

Surface maps are finally here. This map will replace the terrain dots with markings, with proper point-of-interest markings. Even major cities have these map markers, allowing you to navigate to the POI quickly through the scanner. And to be fair, it does look neat.

Finally, after entering Unity, NG+ will allow you to change your appearance and traits.
