Starfield Crashes Roil PS5 and PS5 Pro Ahead of Patch

TL;DR Summary
Starfield is crashing on PS5 and PS5 Pro for some players (not universal). In testing, crashes occur across modes; keeping the frame rate capped at 60fps helps on PS5 Pro, and disabling PSSR 2 has reduced freezes in some runs, but issues persist on base PS5. Digital Foundry also reported crashes during testing. Bethesda has not released a patch yet, leaving players hoping for a fix soon.
