Bethesda has detailed the features of Starfield on the PlayStation 5, including PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) support on the PS5 Pro and exclusive DualSense controller functions. The PS5 edition of Starfield utilizes PSSR tech for upscaling graphics. On the PS5 Pro, players can choose between two modes: Pro Visual Mode: Aims for 4K resolution at 30 frames per second to maximize visual fidelity. Pro Performance Mode: Targets 60 frames per second for a smoother gaming experience. Starfield arrives on PS5 on April 7, along with the free “Free Lanes” update and the “Terran Armada” DLC. General PS5 features include SSD optimization and trophy support. The DualSense control is implemented as follows: Adaptive Triggers: Provide physical resistance and feedback to the L2 and R2 buttons, giving different weapons (terrestrial and spatial) a unique feel. Light Bar: Accompanies the action, changing color to reflect the player character’s health on land or the spacecraft’s status in space, pulsing red when danger is imminent and returning to white when health is restored.
