After a noticeable absence of news regarding Starfield at the recent Xbox Games Showcase, Bethesda has briefly updated fans about the game’s future. In the patch notes for update 1.15.222, released on July 22, Bethesda conveyed, “We’re continuing work on future updates and will share more about the exciting things we have planned for Starfield in the coming months.”

However, no specific details about the upcoming updates have been disclosed.

The latest minor patch focuses on stability improvements, bug fixes, and some visual adjustments without introducing substantial new content. This update is currently in beta, requiring players to opt into beta updates to access it.

Fans have expressed concern due to a significant gap since Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC, which underwhelmed many players with a low 30% positive rating on Steam. The latest comments from Bethesda suggest there’s still hope for the game, although the ambiguity in their messaging doesn’t fully assuage fans’ worries. There’s notable expectation for more meaningful updates, as enthusiasm wanes following the lackluster DLC and minimal recent changes. If Bethesda aims to rejuvenate enthusiasm for Starfield, compelling content is essential in their forthcoming updates.
