Starfield: Shattered Space, the big story expansion for Bethesda’s space RPG, is launching this fall, and Bethesda boss Todd Howard says there’s another “big update” coming much sooner with a host of requested features.

On top of Shattered Space, Howard says “we have a big update that’s coming really soon forStarfield.” This update will feature some “gameplay options that we’re adding,” as well as “other display modes on console that people have asked for.” The update also delivers “some great stuff for shipbuilding,” and Howard says “we redid the map stuff - so we have some city map stuff.”

Starfield’s map has been perhaps the most widely criticized thing about the gamesince launch, and thedevs first teased a city map updateback in December. It looks like the patch is finally coming soon: “I think it’s gonna get announced in a few days actually this week, and be up on Steam beta,” Howard says, emphasizing that it “should be” announced this week.

Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 actors say their games are “easily” better-written than many TV shows and films they’ve worked on.
