Starfield FOV and Optimization Mods Are Already Out on Nexus (wccftech.com)

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.

I feel like a game that launches without an FoV adjustment isn't worth my money, it's nice that workarounds exist, but it makes me feel like there wasn't much time put into making the game nice to play.

I suspect that you can change it, but only in the INI file directly; that's been the case in past Bethesda games.

Or with a mod.

Fallout 3 has this issue also, I have to write "fov 90" everytime I load a save.
