Starfield’s latest patch boasts over 400 fixes

We all know that interest in Starfield has been waning, with an unfortunate decline in people playing Bethesda’s new IP. Still, the developer is determined to keep the metaphorical motor running, and the latest update for the game is now out in Steam Beta. One thing to note about the patch notes is the sheer number of “fixes” that have been implemented. In fact, in a recent post on The-X-Formerly-Known-As-Twitter, version 1.10.30 of Starfield has over 400 things that have been fixed. Bethesda games, amirite? Also, just…

Six months later, Starfield’s modding scene has yet to take off

Bethesda Shortly after Starfield released last summer, my initial discussions with friends and colleagues about its future tended to skew positive. Within six months, we hoped, Starfield’s empty cosmos would no longer be quite so empty thanks to the same thriving modding scene that’s made games like The Elder Scroll V: Skyrim so timeless. Regardless of whether or not we were being optimistic at the time, our predictions mostly fell flat. Yes, a decently-sized modding community rapidly emerged in September and has…

Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC may be coming soon

Following its promises of substantial updates and improvements coming to Starfield in 2024, Bethesda has overall been suspiciously quiet on this front. The promised updates are, indeed, dropping in, but there’s been absolutely no news about the announced Shattered Space DLC. Until now, that is. As it currently stands, virtually nothing is known about Starfield: Shattered Space, short of the fact that it’s supposed to be coming… eventually. As this DLC is included as part of the game’s Premium Edition, we do know that the…

Starfield’s slightly delayed update is now out in Steam Beta

Oh, Starfield. We all had such hope for you. You’re not a bad game, of course, but there was definitely some lost potential there.

Starfield’s big update has been pushed back slightly

At some point today, Bethesda was scheduled to roll out a big update for Starfield, complete with bug fixes a-plenty. However, there’s been a slight change to that, as the studio has had to delay the patch, but hopefully not by much. According to a recent post on Twitter, the team has “discovered an issue we want to address” before the Starfield update can see the light of day. It doesn’t say what this issue actually is, but Bethesda evidently needs a little more time before it can be sent out. We discovered an issue we…

Starfield’s first major update of 2024 delivers bugfixing, mostly

Though it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, Starfield certainly has made a name for itself among gaming audiences. The developer, Bethesda, is thankfully not dropping its post-launch updates anytime soon. The game’s latest update is about to get a beta very, very soon, in fact. As Bethesda promised late in 2023, Starfield is due to receive major, meaningful patches every six weeks or so in 2024. This improvement to the game’s updating cadence won’t be dropping in until sometime in February, but the good news is that…

Starfield’s design director really opens up about negative feedback

There’s been a lot of criticism in the gaming world lately. Yes, I’m talking about The Day Before, but it goes beyond that. In fact, negative feedback from the community seems to have gotten so bad that Starfield‘s design director has had a few (hundred) words to say about it. As reported by PC Gamer, Bethesda’s own Emil Pagliarulo decided to give an honest opinion about “how disconnected some players are from the realities of game development.” The thread – which goes on for 15 posts – offers a defense of studios,…
