A new Starfield texture pack that is now available for download, masterfully overhauling the landscape and ground textures of the vanilla game.
The Landscape Textures Overhaul pack features completely redone textures that attempt, and succeed, to improve the quality of landscapes while trying to match the look of the vanilla textures, although some textures look closer to the vanilla ones than others. As for every high-quality texture pack released for big open-world games, the Starfield Landscape Texture Overhaul pack increases VRAM usage between 500 and 700 MB, so 8 GB of VRAM is required for playing the game with the mod at 1440p resolution and above. Some comparison screenshots were also shared to highlight the differences between the vanilla and new textures, and you can check them out below.
While Starfield can look a little rough at times, far from the excellence of other recent open-world role-playing games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and its expansion, the latest game by Bethesda is one of the best games released this year and one of the best games ever made by the studio, as I highlighted in my review.
With an engaging story, well-developed characters and lore, and a huge amount of meaningful content, Starfield is one of Bethesda's finest games and one of the best role-playing games released in the past few years. The lack of seamless exploration and real innovation of the typical gameplay formula from the studio are noteworthy, but those willing to forego these issues will find a reactive and sprawling sci-fi universe to lose themselves in for hundreds, if not thousands, of hours.
Starfield is now available on PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S worldwide.
