Starfield officially launches on September 5, 2023 on Xbox and PC platforms. Early access for the game is now live though, and it looks like some modders didn't like the fact that Starfield only supports AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 2.0 technology at launch. The modder takes matters into his own hands and has added Nvidia DLSS & Intel XeSS support to the game! Yes, you read that right. Let's look at all the details about this mod.

As you may know, Starfield is an AMD sponsored game made by Bethesda. Officially, the game will only come with AMD FSR 2.0 support – although AMD says it won't stop Bethesda from adding DLSS support. While the developer has yet to confirm future DLSS support, the game has gained support for other super-resolution technologies such as Nvidia DLSS 2 and Intel XeSS through a third-party mod made by PureDark.

The same modder is also working on a Starfield DLSS 3 mod, which he confirmed will launch soon, just in time for Starfield's official release on September 5th. So, how does PureDark's DLSS 2 and Intel XeSS Starfield mod work? It replaces the FSR implementation in the game with either DLSS or XeSS, based on what the user chooses.

The mod is only 460KB in size, with a 2.3MB reshade mod file available even if users want to use the mod's ReShade CAS effect. The Starfield Upscaler mod by PureDark can be downloaded from NexusMods and installed by following some simple step-by-step instructions. These steps are detailed on the NexusMods page above and in the second screenshot below.
