Bethesda studio account confirmed via Reddit The Starfield game will receive a new important update, an update that will finally provide full city maps, while introducing what the studio called “new means of transportation,” in addition to fixing several technical errors that players have suffered from since release.
The update is scheduled to include a solution to the problem of missions stopping at some point and not being able to progress, forcing the player to reload a previous save file to get past this problem. The solution to the issue is being tested extensively at Bethesda to ensure it does not happen again.
Most importantly, of course, the next Starfield update will finally bring us major city maps, so we won’t get lost as we search over and over again for that one vendor that provides the items you need whether in New Atlantis or Neon City. In terms of technology, the update will come with FSR 3 and XeSS technologies.
The update will also introduce “new means of transportation,” according to the studio’s description, but what kind of means of transportation, I wonder? We already know that the game engine prevents the addition of fast means of transportation on planets, which forces us to walk to explore the surfaces of the planets. Will these “means of transportation” be within large cities, for example? Is it something like a taxi to move from one point to another, but on a limited scale? We will wait and see when the update is released.
The update is scheduled to be released early next year, as the studio has not specified a specific date except that it will be early in the beginning of 2024. Since its release, Starfield has been getting periodic updates, to solve technical problems or to add new features, such as field of view control, and even The long-awaited DLSS technology for Nvidia cards.
There are other anticipated updates to Starfield that have already been confirmed, such as official support for Bethesda’s Modding tools, and of course the Shattered Space narrative expansion that will be released in 2024.
