I’m absolutely lovingStarfieldso far (well,mostly). Bethesda’s latest open-world sandbox gives players a whole galaxy to explore with a massive story andso many sidequests, but it’s not resting on its laurels. There is an upcoming expansion confirmed, titledShattered Space,but Bethesda has already added the first update to the game.

The Version 1.7.29 update isn’t exactly a big-bang level shake-up but it does bring with it some very useful improvements and fixes. Aside from fixing a few glitches with some of the questlines in the game) players onXbox Series XandXbox Series Swill appreciate improved stability when it comes to installing the game and those on all platforms should notice fewer crashes and a smoother framerate, something that even on one of thebest gaming laptopsI have run into a couple of times.

After this hotfix, Bethesda outlined on a Steam update that they will be working on adding a number of performance features into the game. Those specifically namechecked include brightness and contrast controls, FOV sliders, ultra-wide (32:9) monitor support and Nvidia DLSS support.

Rather amusingly, the post also admits the team are working on an ‘eat’ button for the various food in the game, something that both Skyrim and Fallout already have. This will stop players from having to pick up snacks and go through their inventory to heal.

Modding has always been a big part of Bethesda titles andStarfieldis no exception with full mod support set to launch early next year. If you’ve ever wanted to replace all the spaceships with trains or dragons or whatever, there’ll probably be a mod for it.

WithStarfieldlaunching on Game Pass, there’s little reason not to give it a try and if you love galaxy-sprawling RPGs, orStar Trek,it’ll be right up your street.
