Starfield’s Next Big Update: Bethesda Teases Exciting Future
▼ Summary
– Bethesda provided a vague update on Starfield’s future, mentioning “exciting things” planned but offering no details.
– The latest minor update (1.15.222) focuses on stability, bug fixes, and minor UI tweaks, and is still in beta.
– Fans were disappointed when Starfield was ignored at the Xbox Games Showcase, leading to speculation the game was finished.
– The Shattered Space DLC received poor reception (30% positive Steam rating) for being underwhelming and lacking depth.
– Starfield’s future success hinges on Bethesda delivering significant updates to regain player trust after a year of minimal improvements.
Bethesda has finally broken its silence about Starfield’s future, teasing upcoming content in a recent patch, though details remain frustratingly vague. The brief mention appeared in the notes for update 1.15.222, where the studio promised “exciting things” are in the pipeline. However, the lack of specifics leaves players questioning whether these plans will address the game’s lingering shortcomings.
The latest patch itself is minor, focusing on stability improvements, visual adjustments to the Creations menu, and mission sorting. Currently in beta, it’s hardly the groundbreaking update fans have been hoping for. With nearly a year passing since the underwhelming Shattered Space DLC, skepticism is growing about Bethesda’s commitment to revitalizing Starfield. The expansion, which currently holds a dismal 30% positive rating on Steam, failed to deliver the depth or innovation many expected.
Critics and players alike have voiced disappointment, calling Shattered Space a missed opportunity. One reviewer described it as a “bland stew of business as usual,” criticizing its linear design and forgettable narrative. Given the lukewarm reception, Bethesda faces an uphill battle to reignite enthusiasm for Starfield. The studio’s vague assurances of future content do little to reassure a player base growing impatient for meaningful improvements.
If Bethesda hopes to turn things around, the next update must go beyond minor fixes. Players are waiting for substantial expansions, gameplay refinements, or fresh mechanics that justify returning to the game. Until then, the studio’s promises risk falling flat, especially after Shattered Space failed to meet expectations. The clock is ticking for Bethesda to prove Starfield still has a bright future.
