Starfield mega update drops - get it now

Jan 31, 2024 8:45 AM

Bethesda has released the most substantial patch for Starfield, their space exploration role-playing game available on PC and Xbox platforms. The update, which was initially rolled out in a beta stage on Steam, brings over one hundred enhancements to the game, including significant improvements to lighting across numerous in-game locations. Starfield's developer encourages continued feedback from players to help prioritize future updates, with a new patch anticipated approximately every six weeks. Upon its release last September for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass, Starfield received remarkable reviews for its vast, detailed universe, despite some flaws. The game is a hallmark of Bethesda's expansive open-world design, situated within the novelty of space.

When is mod support for Starfield coming to Xbox?

Although Bethesda has not provided a specific date for mod support on Xbox, they are expected to share more information soon. Historically, Bethesda has been supportive of mods, as seen with their past games such as Skyrim, so players are hopeful for a similar feature to be available in Starfield in the near future.

Starfield is one of Bethesda Game Studios' most ambitious projects to date, often referred to as "Skyrim in space." The game offers a vast open world set in space, where players can explore planets and engage in both combat and rich storytelling. As the first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda, Starfield is built on the Creation Engine 2, offering enhanced graphics and gameplay mechanics compared to previous titles from the developer, promising a unique experience for fans of Bethesda's RPGs and space exploration enthusiasts alike.
