Bethesda has announced that it will release Starfield’s biggest update yet next week on January 17th.
renew It will be released to Steam Beta with over 100 fixes and improvements, with a planned release date in two weeks.
This update brings a number of fixes to missions. Issues with the Eye of the Storm mission, such as being unable to dock with Legacy or data transfer not starting, will be resolved. Additionally, temples not present in Into the Unknown will no longer prevent Constellations from exploring the universe.
Additionally, you can expect stability improvements and a host of graphical improvements, from additional widescreen support to improved textures, lighting, and shadows.
Other fixes and improvements include solar disk geometry, planetary ring shadows, bulldozer objects that reappear when returning to an outpost, ship hatches marked as inaccessible, and another fix for asteroids following ships.
Full update notes will be released when the Steam Beta launches next week.
Bethesda said in December that it planned to release updates roughly every six weeks starting in February. These updates will include quality of life improvements, content and feature updates, new ways to travel, and the ability to access city maps while exploring major cities. You can also look forward to expanded ship customization, including ship decorations, new shipbuilding options, and more.
Additional gameplay options will be implemented, such as changing gameplay for an easier or more challenging experience. This includes customization options such as carrying capacity, cargo access distance, ship damage, vendor credits, how you suffer, new survival mechanics, and more.
