Starfield's upcoming patch is set to be released on Steam Beta tomorrow, with Bethesda teasing some of its features. However, the patch, while being one of the first significant updates in a while, does not bring major additions to the game. Despite this, there are a few quality of life changes that players may find beneficial.
After six months since its launch, Starfield continues to receive minor updates, with no clear timeline for larger additions such as city maps, new transportation options, additional ship and base parts, and a rumored space station builder. The highly anticipated Shattered Space expansion also lacks a release date.
Although Starfield is not a live service game, the pace of updates and fixes has been notably slow. Many quality of life issues that have persisted since the game's launch remain unaddressed. Notable improvements include the ability to eat sandwiches directly off tables and harvest items without deactivating the scanner.
Despite some players expressing their enjoyment of Starfield, the post-launch support has been criticized for its lackluster performance. The absence of compelling reasons to revisit the game, coupled with the failure to address fundamental issues that could assist new players, has left many disappointed.
There is a sentiment that Bethesda should be investing more resources into enhancing Starfield. While work may be ongoing behind the scenes, the sluggish pace of updates, limited to minor tweaks over the past six months, and the absence of a clear roadmap for future developments have raised concerns among the player base.
