With this in focus, the devs have been collaborating with the likes of Microsoft and AMD to optimize Starfield. However, this is also raising multiple concerns within the community.

The partnership between Bethesda and AMD is making people concerned about future upgrading possibilities. Many have alleged that this collab may hamper future upscaling from rivals like Nvidia and Intel.

Amidst such concerns, the community has requested Bethesda and AMD for clarification. But things aren’t made clear by the Starfield devs yet. Delay in response to concerns of blocking rival upscaling possibilities has also blown more wind to speculation fires across the community.

While AMD FSR2’s compatibility across all platforms is a strong argument for such a controversy, excluding competing GPU makers from providing upscaling options to their fans isn’t justifiable to many. Furthermore, DLSS is often hailed as the superior technology, producing higher image quality. Under such circumstances, a detailed clarification of the Bethesda-AMD partnership may benefit everyone.
