Starfield updates coming every six weeks from February 2024

Time to jump back in your spaceship?

Starfield updates will be rolled out every six weeks starting February 2024, Bethesda has recently advised.

“We’re targeting updates roughly every six weeks starting in February,” the publisher said in a new blog. “These updates will include everything from quality-of-life improvements to content and feature updates. Join our Steam Beta branch to be the first to try these updates as they begin rolling out.”

Updates include those already detailed, such as easier ways to travel and expanded detail in maps of Starfield‘s cities.

“For those of you who love ship building, we’ll also be expanding on ship customization with ship decorations, new ship building options, and more,” the post continued.

“We’re also excited to be adding all new Gameplay options. With these new settings you’ll be able to alter your gameplay to allow for an easier or more challenging experience that will expand beyond our normal ‘Difficulty’ setting,” Bethesda said. “These will allow you to easily customize carry capacity, cargo access distance, ship damage, vendor credits, how you suffer afflictions, new survival mechanics, and more.”

Mod support will also be offered “early next year”.

Starfield will be getting its own exporter and you’ll have access to a new Creation Kit,” Bethesda continued. “Modding has always been an enormous part of our games, with incredible community-made content constantly bringing fresh new experiences. With the scale and systems in Starfield, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!”

Starfield is available on Windows PC, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. We reviewed it here.
