Streets of Survival Gameplay and Character Overview
The developers promise intense arcade action in a world where death is commonplace. You’ll play as Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, and Michonne—each with their own style and quirks. Walker-infested tunnels, ruined settlements, and enemy strongholds—locations familiar from the series. The main antagonists are the Saviors, led by Negan. In addition to the living, you’ll have to fend off hordes of the undead using combos, signature weapons, and finishing moves. Survival requires special effort.
Story Campaign: Total War, Beat ‘Em Up Style
The story campaign is based on the “Total War” arc—the conflict with the Saviors is shown through the lens of a beat ’em up, adding walkers and unexpected surprises from the series. Explore Sanctuary, Hilltop, and Alexandria—locations enhanced with dynamic scenes, dangerous environments, and tense moments.
Unique Weapons and Stats for Rick, Daryl, and Michonne
Rick’s Magnum, Michonne’s katana, Daryl’s trusty crossbow—each character has unique stats and abilities inspired by the show.
Combat System Features and Multi-Phase Boss Battles
A brutal arcade beat ’em up: melee attacks, area attacks, combos—all in fast-paced skirmishes.
Walker hordes and Saviors: adapt, assess threats, and fight for every meter.

Starfield Update 1.12.0 and Performance Tests
While zombie action fans wait for The Walking Dead, Starfield owners have received a major patch. Let’s take a look at how it impacted performance on different platforms.
Starfield Frame Rate Analysis on Consoles and PC
Bethesda marketed Update 1.12.0 (June 2026) as a “stabilizing” update, but the results were mixed. We analyzed Digital Foundry benchmarks, user measurements, and our own statistics. Here’s what we found.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Patch Performance Tests
Key Findings:
-
PS5 saw the most noticeable improvement – it now maintains ~48 FPS in open city scenes instead of 42.
-
The developers optimized shadow rendering and grass draw distance.
-
Xbox Series X improved, but still struggles occasionally in Akila City. The patch eliminated micro-stutters, but overall smoothness is slightly lower than on the PS5.
-
The Series S has finally reached a stable 30 fps—a win for a budget console. Previously, the image on New Atlantis turned into a slideshow.
Starfield Stability on Nvidia and AMD GPUs
The main fix is a reworked texture streaming. Now, even on older SSDs, stuttering when entering new locations is less common. However, an issue with reflections in puddles (specific to AMD graphics cards) remains—Bethesda promises to fix it in the next hotfix.
Known technical issues and critical game crashes
Crashes on Xbox Series X when quickly navigating through menus are common, but less common.
On PS5, in quality mode, character shadows sometimes disappear in dialogue.
The PC version still struggles with AVX instructions on older Intel processors (Haswell and older)—running is possible, but with micro-freezes.
Patch testing results and the advisability of the update
Absolutely yes. Even if you have weaker hardware, the stability improvement is noticeable. Console players will experience smoother gameplay without compromising graphics. And on PC, crashes when transitioning between planets have finally disappeared. If you’ve been putting off returning to Starfield due to technical issues, now is the perfect time.
