Word is, Bethesda recently showed some insiders their upcoming plans for Starfield. Details are split on how big these changes will actually be, with some sources saying it will be a massive overhaul similar to Cyberpunk's revival update, while others are more cautious. The main focus seems to be cutting down the excessive load screens, particularly for spaceflight, and refining exploration systems through engine improvements.
Bethesda has been quiet publicly, even after the first expansion failed to revive much interest. A former developer recently blamed the game's dull planets and lack of creature variety for losing player engagement. These rumored updates, which also include a previously teased story DLC, might be a final attempt to fix the core complaints.
The game is also reportedly coming to PlayStation 5 and even the next Nintendo Switch, despite its demanding specs. According to one report, these could be the last major updates for Starfield as the studio shifts focus to other projects like The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout titles. The future of the sci-fi IP likely depends on whether this effort can reignite player interest or if Bethesda just moves on for good.
