The Biggest Starfield Update Ever is Coming on January 17

Other notable improvements in the update include adjustments to sun disk geometry and planet ring shadows, fixes for reappearing bulldozed objects at outposts, accessible ship hatches, and a solution for the amusing yet persistent issue of asteroids following ships.

This newest Starfield update marks the beginning of a more regular update schedule for the much maligned game. Bethesda has committed to releasing updates approximately every six weeks starting in February, with the updates expected to include new features as well as quality-of-life improvements, and more, such as city maps, expanded ship customization options, and new travel methods.

Finally, Bethesda has also teased the possibility of introducing new survival mechanics and an official Creation Kit for mod support.

Starfield has been a topic of significant interest since its launch, attracting millions of players and a couple dozen million more critics. Despite facing challenges, Bethesda's commitment to regular updates and improvements indicates their dedication to evolving and enriching the game's universe. The game will receive its first paid expansion, Shattered Space, later this year as well, which will introduce new areas in the Settled Systems for players to explore.

As anticipation builds for the upcoming update, players are advised to keep an eye on official Bethesda channels for the full set of patch notes and further announcements regarding future updates and enhancements to Starfield.
