Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?

Starfield and Bethesda Tomfoolery

Can anyone explain what voodoo magic Bethesda used to make Starfield, a game that usually runs below 30fps on my pc, feel like it’s running above that? I mean, not even Nintendo on their own console has achieved this feat.
