Summary
Bethesda has revealed thatStarfield’s first major update for 2024 is coming within the next few weeks, with it first hitting Steam Beta on Wednesday, January 17.Starfieldwas a big hit when it first launched, breaking records for Bethesda. But whileStarfieldreviews were largely positive at first and the game managed to attract millions of players, public opinion on it has started to sour quite a bit.
Starfieldcomplaints have become more commonand the game’s player count has dropped dramatically, with the ambitious open world sci-fi RPG having its player count outdone bySkyrim, which is well over a decade old at this point. However, Bethesda is certainly not giving up onStarfield, with plans to release significant updates for the game on a regular basis.
In fact, Bethesda has announced that the first majorStarfieldupdatein 2024 will arrive on Wednesday, January 17 through Steam Beta before eventually making its way to all players a couple of weeks later. The update promises to include over 100 fixes and improvements, though detailed patch notes have yet to be released. WhileStarfieldfans wait for the complete rundown of what they can expect from the game’s first big update for 2024, Bethesda has revealed some of the changes that are on the way.
New Starfield Update Highlights
It seems this big newStarfieldupdate will primarily be focused on fixing bugs and improving the game from a visual standpoint.BuggedStarfieldquestswill be addressed, which should ensure players have a smoother experience as they play through the game. Additional widescreen support is being added, with improvements on the way forStarfield’s textures, lighting, and shadows. Sun disk geometry and planet ring shadows are also being added, which should in turn make what was already an impressive-looking game look even better.
This kind of update is designed to improveStarfield, but it’s not the kind of update that is likely to attract lapsed players back to the game. Luckily, there are many moreStarfieldupdates planned for 2024, and eventually, Bethesda will release the game’s first DLC expansion,Shattered Space, as well. Bethesda has big plans forStarfield, so fans of the game should have plenty to look forward to in the months and years ahead.
