Finally, Starfield Includes an Eat Button, Improved Stealth, and Nvidia Dlss

Just a week after Starfield's release, Bethesda Game Studios announced planned improvements for future updates; hence, it's somewhat understandable that many players have left the game in the two months since due to delayed implementation of highly requested fixes. However, we are thrilled to announce that two items can now be crossed off the list.
