Bethesda is preparing to release the biggest update ever for Starfield, the RPG game that was released last year and was highly anticipated but failed to meet expectations. Let’s look at the details.
Starfield is getting its first major update
In the announcement made on Bethesda’s official X social media account, it was announced that the update will be released first as Steam Beta on January 17, 2024. After the beta testing phase, the update is expected to be available to all players on Steam two weeks later.
This major update includes more than a hundred fixes and improvements, but specific details are not yet mentioned in the official patch notes. However, Bethesda has taken a look at some areas targeted for improvement.
A major focus will be quests that address various issues players may have encountered. One highlighted example is the “Eye of the Storm” mission, where players encountered difficulties such as not being able to dock with Legacy or issues initiating a data transfer.
In addition to mission fixes, the update will also introduce graphical improvements aimed at improving textures, lighting and shadows. These adjustments aim to contribute to a more visually appealing and immersive gaming environment.
The developers also aim to address potential issues such as the reappearance of previously bulldozed objects when revisiting an Outpost.
While the full patch notes are eagerly awaited, the community is speculating about possible future updates. Some fans are anticipating the addition of mod support, allowing players to enhance and customize their Starfield experience.
Others are hopeful for the release of the game’s first expansion pack, which will add new content and expand the overall gaming experience.
On January 17, 2024, Steam Beta users will be the first to experience this comprehensive update and will provide valuable feedback ahead of wider release. The developers aim to make a smooth transition to the Xbox Series X/S platform in the coming weeks and enable players on various platforms to enjoy the improved version of Starfield.
