More precisely, it will arrive on January 17 as a beta on Steam, then will be officially deployed at the beginning of February on PC and Xbox Series X|S. While the patches were quite sporadic on the new game from Todd Howard’s teams, we are told that this will be the ” biggest patch ever deployed ” nowadays. Let’s see what they have in store for us.

To justify its comments, Bethesda indicates that this update will include “ over a hundred fixes and improvements “. Among the most notable, the studio has placed some emphasis on fixing bugs related to quests.

Many players have found themselves stuck on quests that are essential to progress in the main story, a script not triggering correctly or a major element not appearing. Better late than never, maybe this update will finally unblock the situation.

A patch that makes big eyes

Despite several improvements in this direction, Starfield can still be rather unstable on certain configurations (but it’s your fault, according to Todd Howard…). With this new update that we are told is major, Bethesda indicates that it has taken particular care on this point, as well as on numerous graphical improvements.

These are particularly interested in the support of wide screens, the quality of textures, lighting and shadows. Will this be enough to make the effect disappear? Uncanny Valley » looks from non-player characters? Nothing is less sure.

As indicated by Bethesda on its X.com account, this so-called major patch will arrive on January 17, first in beta on Steam, then everywhere else two weeks later. A full patch note will be rolled out alongside the beta.
