Bethesda releases a new and highly anticipated update for Starfield

Bethesda has released a new beta update for Starfield on Steam, marking the first improvement in six months. This new patch introduces a display setting called “Very Low,” which could be useful for players experiencing difficulties on less powerful hardware. There have also been some minor changes in the Creation Kit and various bugs have been fixed, although many fans feel that the content is frankly scarce, given that it has been over a year since the game’s release and six months since its last update.

The update has generated mixed reactions among players. While some appreciate that Bethesda continues to work on the title, others feel frustrated by the lack of meaningful content and the minimal relevance of the changes introduced. “We have been waiting longer than what they have delivered,” can be read on Steam and Reddit forums. This discontent has grown especially after a previous promise from the company that there were “exciting things” on the way, which have not materialized.

Additionally, Bethesda announced the release of a new mod titled Watchtower, created by Kinggath Creations, scheduled to be released on May 20. This paid mod will feature a new faction that promises to protect humanity from potential threats, adding a narrative element that could revitalize the player experience. Although the cost has not been specified, the arrival of Watchtower is expected to provide more substantial content for the community.

For those who wish to try the beta version of Starfield, you can do so by accessing your Steam library, right-clicking on Starfield, selecting “Properties,” and then “Betas” to download the new build of the game. It is important to note that this beta update is not compatible with the stable version of the game, at least until a full release is made.
