Bethesda has released a brand-new beta update forStarfield, which players can download right now. TheStarfieldupdate is only a small one this time around, but features an exciting hint about the game’s future.
Starfieldhas had an interesting journey since its release. Despite being met with stellar reviews from critics, boasting a Top Critic Average of 85 on review aggregator siteOpenCritic,the response from players was a little more mixed.Starfielddidn’t resonate with all gamerslike Bethesda’s previous titles. However, the studio hasn’t given up on the game in the nearly two years since launch, with an expansion and countless updates released to improve theStarfieldexperience.
Now, Bethesda has releasedthe 1.15.222 beta update forStarfield, which is available to those who have opted into the beta branch of the game on Steam. ThisStarfieldupdateis only very small, with minor improvements made to the format and display in the Creations menus, general crash and stability fixes, small updates to sorting in the Missions menu, and a fix for a problem that caused Extreme Temperature gear to appear incorrectly. It’s not known whether this build will soon be pushed to the main branch of the game, or whether it will be withheld to be part of a largerStarfieldupdate further down the line.
Although the update itself isn’t the most significant, Bethesda’s post about it on X offers an exciting tidbit about the game’s future. The developer confirmed that “we’re continuingwork on future updates and will share more about the exciting things we have planned forStarfieldin the coming months.” While it was recentlyrumored thatStarfield’s next expansion won’t arrive in 2025, it’s good to know that Bethesda is still working on big things in the future.
WithStarfield’s future seemingly secure, Bethesda seemingly has a lot on its plate at the moment. Support continues for the 2023 RPG, while it’s no secret that the development ofThe Elder Scrolls 6is in full swing. A recent rumor suggested thatFallout 5has also been fully greenlit, which would mean a significant amount of work for the studio in the coming years.
