As most PC gamers will have noticed right away when launching the game, there is no Starfield FOV (Field of View) slider in the game’s settings. This is unfortunate since the default setting appears to be 75, which is lower than preferable, especially for those who experience motion sickness when playing in first-person view.

Thankfully, several mods are already starting to appear on Nexus, including some that allow players to increase the Starfield FOV value. User Hellstorm102 provided a downloadable StarfieldCustom.ini file that needs to be placed in the Documents/MyGames/Starfield folder to enable the increased Field of View. The provided file sets FOV to 100 for both first-person and third-person view, though any user can modify the .ini with different values as desired.

Likely, Bethesda will eventually add an in-game Starfield FOV slider at some point, but mods will have to do in the meantime.

    As far as I know the only Bethesda game with a fov slider is Fallout 76, which is extremely fortunate because you can’t mod that one.

    Seems very weird to me that they’d just drop it again after including it once.
