- Bethesda Game Studios announced Starfield on PS5 Pro will have two display options: Pro Visual at 4K resolution and 30 FPS, and Pro Performance at 60 FPS.
- PS5 Pro will run Starfield using the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaler, and a system toggle lets users upgrade to the latest PSSR version.
- DualSense controller adds adaptive triggers that give weapon‑specific resistance, a light bar that reflects health and ship status, touchpad shortcuts for POV, map, hand scanner, and inventory, and a built‑in speaker for audio logs.
- Starfield launches on PlayStation 5 on Monday, April 6, alongside Bethesda’s Free Lanes update and Terrain Armada DLC.
- PC version of Starfield’s DualSense features remains unconfirmed.
Why it matters: PS5 Pro owners gain a choice between 4K/30 FPS visual fidelity or 60 FPS smoothness and can enable the latest PSSR upscaler, giving them a visual and performance edge over base PS5 and PC players who lack the Pro’s ability to upgrade to the newest PSSR algorithm.
