How can you change FOV in Starfield without mods?It may be a stellar game in some ways, but it’s also a bit of an embarrassment thatStarfield, a huge-budget AAA flagship game, doesn’t allow the player to change theirFOV settingson PC. Head into the settings menu and there’s no slider, no option at all relating to your player’sField Of View.
What’s more, there’s not even an option to set one’s FOV in the exhaustingly long list ofStarfield console commands and cheats. So if you want to change your Field Of View, you’ll have to do it yourself. There are now a fewStarfield modsthat’ll fix the problem for you too, but either way, here’show to change FOV in Starfield.

We’d recommend a number between 90 and 100 for most players, although if you want a wider view of your surroundings then you can opt for a FOV beyond 100. You can also set one value for the first-person camera, and another value for the third-person camera if you wish!
