Bethesda’s space role-playing game, Starfield There are still many updates to come, according to a new blog post from the developer. The blog post shares this Starfield has seen the biggest launch in Bethesda history with 13 million players since September. Future updates will be released approximately every six weeks and will include “everything from quality of life improvements to content and feature updates.”
New features on the way include new travel options and city maps, allowing players to explore large locations like New Atlantis or Akila City. We can also expect more ship customization options, new difficulty levels, the ability to add survival mechanics to the game, as well as sliders that affect carrying capacity, merchant credits, and more.
Official mod support is also in preparation. In early 2024, Bethesda will release Creations, which includes a Creation Kit and an exporter. Mods have traditionally been a big draw for Bethesda games, encompassing both massive, game-changing additions or improvements as well as plenty of silly appeals, like cool new hairstyles or the ability to summon a stampede of thousands of cabbages.
The blog post also shares that the first major expansion, titled Shattered Space, is in development and will be released sometime next year. It will contain new story content, locations and equipment. We don’t know much about Shattered Space and whether it contains new revelations about the Starborn, but we’ll have to wait and see how it comes together.
Players can join the Steam Beta branch to test patches before they go live. It will be interesting to see how Starfield comes to life with player mods; They are some of the most transformative and interesting parts of the Bethesda fan base. In the meantime, we’ll have to wait and see how Bethesda’s quality of life fixes improve Starfield Experience.
