Bethesda says the “biggestStarfieldupdate yet” will arrive Wednesday, January 17 with over 100 “fixes and improvements” including a raft of graphical tweaks for the RPG.
Bethesda shared “some of what you can expect” in the reveal thread, though the full patch notes are still to come. The specifics of those 100 fixes and improvements are still mostly unknown, but we do have some of the headlining changes.
“A multitude of fixes to quests” is on the way, for starters. Bethesda says “Eye of the Storm issues such as being unable to dock with the Legacy or data transfer not starting, and Temples not showing up in Into the Unknown, will no longer prevent Constellation from exploring the cosmos.”
Perhaps more excitingly, this mammoth update promises “stability improvements and numerous graphic improvements,” some of which seem to address the uglier bits of the RPG. Bethesda offered this before-and-after of an NPC’s glow-up, and the revamped lighting sure does make this man look less like a really convincing wax doll.
If Starfield’s promised city maps are as clean as this fan-made design, it’d be a dream come true.
