Field of View (FOV) is such an important visual option in most games, but unfortunately, sometimes developers get so busy that it falls out of the checklist for launch.Starfieldis one of those games that doesn’t feature an FOV slider at launch, and we don’t really know ifBethesdahas any plans to add it anytime in the future, but we do have a fix for it!

With all the tools provided for PC gaming, it’s quite easy to mod games and things that we wish we could’ve had since day one. Of course, complicated things require much experience and probably need you to be a modder, but features like an FOV slider can be implemented with only a few lines of code.
How To Add FOV Slider Manually On PC
Open “This PC” and click on “Documents” from the Quick Access panel on the left side. Here, you should be able to find a folder named “MyGames,” inside which there should be a folder named “Starfield.” Go inside the “Starfield” folder, create aText File, and make sure to name it “StarfieldCustom.ini” — now, open that text file and insert the commands below, which will turn it into readable material for the game.
fFPWorldFOV=85.0000
fTPWorldFOV=85.0000
This command will set the FOV value to85. You can changeboth of these valuesto the amount you want — between 1 and 100, of course — to get the Field of View that creates the best experience for you. Just keep in mind that both values need to be equal.
The only downside of this option is the fact that you need to close the game and run it again every time you change the FOV value. In order to better compare the effect, we suggest you pick a fixed location and take a screenshot from the game with each different FOV value. This way, you can compare screenshots and find the best value for your experience.
For those who don’t know, you may hold “Windows Key” and press “Print Key” to take a screenshot, which will be saved at the following address: QuickAccess/Pictures/Screenshots.
You Can Also Use Mods
If you don’t feel like coding, you can also use mods to simply get the job done without much headache. For this, you can look for Starfield FOV Mods on the internet. For now, we haven’t seen any mods that could actually allow you to adjust Field of View in-game and see the result.
However, mods can set you free from writing the codes above, as you can just download the text file fromNexus Modsand place it in the aforementioned address. That being said, you will still need to go back to that file and change the value if you want to find the best experience.
