Is this really a thing lately? Maybe on some Switch games, but I think most modern games can have a dynamic framerate.

Skyrim famously did this. So the concern that Starfield could have similar issues is not unfounded.

Remember Red Dead Redemption 2? On PC, your stats depleted faster the more FPS you had so with 60FPS you'd get hungry twice as fast as with 30FPS. Iirc even the sun moved faster so a day was only half as long.
