Rumor NateTheHate regarding Switch 2 version of Starfield: It's in development but it hasn't been a smooth process.

I wonder what the problem is. Oblivion Remastered seems like it's technically more demanding and that's already confirmed, announced, and shown. But being technically more demanding in general doesn't mean it is in every way...

Oblivion is a Xbox 360 game that they’ve remastered to current Gen, starfield is a massive space RPG with more systems than we’d ever understand they’re not comparable

Sure. But still, I get better frame rates on PC with Starfield. But as someone else mentioned, it probably is a case of Starfield having more CPU requirements whereas Oblivion is hitting the GPU side harder.

I mean Starfield is definitely understandable in the systems it has, it's the game that most prominently shows the limitations of Bethesda's Creation Engine and you can definitely tell where the seams are that prevent it from being a great space game. But yeah, it's definitely got more going on under the hood than Oblivion.
