Starfield is about to get the biggest patch yet on January 17

Bethesda has announced the largest Starfield update, with 100+ fixes and improvements, scheduled for release on January 17. The update is confirmed for the PC version, with no information available for the Xbox version at this time.

Starfield, Bethesda's RPG giant from last year, is intended to surpass its older brother, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, in both scale and quality. However, it failed to showcase itself in the favourable light that fans had anticipated. This was primarily attributed to technical shortcomings and somewhat uninspiring gameplay.

Nevertheless, Bethesda has recently undertaken efforts to rectify technical imperfections in the game through updates. The most recent update has significantly addressed numerous issues, and now they have announced the largest update to date, scheduled for January 17. This update is expected to introduce a plethora of new features and substantial improvements.

Bethesda states that the upcoming patch, labelled as the most extensive Steam Beta update to date, will encompass over 100 fixes and improvements. The clarity regarding whether this update is exclusively for the Steam version or also applies to the Xbox Series X|S version is not explicitly outlined. In essence, let's explore what can be anticipated from the forthcoming patch.

This update contains a multitude of fixes for quests. Eye of the Storm issues such as being unable to dock with the Legacy, data transfer not starting, and temples not showing up in Into the Unknown will no longer prevent Constellation from exploring the cosmos.
Additionally, this update brings stability improvements and numerous graphic improvements, ranging from additional widescreen support to improved textures, lighting, and shadows.
Other fixes and improvements include sun disc geometry, planet ring shadows, bulldozed objects reappearing when returning to an outpost, ship hatches marked inaccessible, and another fix for asteroids following ships.
