Bethesda has not addressed the issue so far, but we reckon it may be patched when the game officially comes out. In some related news, Starfield is also practically unplayable for gamers using the Intel Arc GPUs. It is because of no drivers by Intel, which will arrive when the title is released.
Microsoft’s first-party title has come out in early access on PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S only. It plays at a locked 30 FPS on consoles but can reach around an average of 60 FPS on PCs for players equipped with high-end specs. The new Bethesda IP has slowly been brewed over 25 years. Starfield players without the digital premium edition to enjoy early access can delve into the game on the global release, September 6.
