Starfield’s latest patch notes, as mentioned on Bethesda’s official website are as follows:

• HDR Calibration Menu
• FOV Slider
• Nvidia DLSS Support (PC)
• 32:9 Ultrawide Monitor Support (PC)

After thousands of comments all over the internet regarding the FOV Slider and DLSS issues, Bethesda will finally implement these changes in the game. This should definitely improve the game’s performance on various systems, as they have already put a framerate fix in this patch too.

The Brightness and Contrast control changes come next in terms of importance, as many players did not like the game’s color grading and brightness calibration. Plus, the 32:9 Monitor Support will also be added as a bonus in Starfield. But the upcoming mod support is easily one of the biggest takeaways from this piece of news.
