Starfield Crashes Hit PS5 and PS5 Pro During Launch Weekend
TL;DR Summary
Starfield is crashing repeatedly on PS5 and PS5 Pro during its launch weekend, with Digital Foundry and Reddit reports showing lockups across modes; our tests found uncapped framerates can trigger crashes on PS5 Pro, but capping at 60fps and disabling the PSSR2 upscaler helps some players, though issues persist on base PS5 as well. Bethesda has yet to publish a patch, and the problem appears not universal but widespread enough to draw scrutiny ahead of fixes.
