Starfieldhas exploded onto the scene with some impressive player numbers and now a flourishing modding scene.
Starfieldhas been out for almost no time at all and it already has modders scrambling to rework the Space adventuring RPG. There’sThomas the Tank Engine mods, which place a nightmarish Thomas right into the adventure as well as amod to unblock achievementsthat were previously blocked by mods (not confusing at all).
Now players will be happy to hear that the creative modder behind some brilliantCyberpunk 2077andThe Witcher3texture mods is gearing up to take onStarfieldand showcase it in a new light.
Modder ‘Halk Hogan’ who is working on aPhantom LibertyHD rework update mod, has announced their intentions to start on aStarfieldHD Reworked Project. In aYouTube videoon the subject Halk Hogan showed off a range of texture improvements.
“Due to the often visible low-resolution textures, I decided to create a new HD Reworked Project forStarfield, to improve the visual experience of the game,” Halk Hogan says.
“Of course, as usual, the project focuses on achieving the highest quality of textures (and perhaps models in the future), while maintaining good performance and reasonable use of video memory. The modification is currently in an early stage of work, although the first version will be released soon.”
To the untrained eye, these updates may not look like much, however, there’s a notable improvement to the textures already. Even the slightest change makes a world of difference when you put it all together.
