The game studio recently released an update, version 1.7.29, emphasizing their commitment to make Starfield an evolving, long-term project that benefits from community input.
While Bethesda has its eye on the long-term, the immediate focus is on squashing top-priority bugs and stability issues. This initial update is a hotfix aimed at resolving some of the most critical issues players have reported.
Upcoming Features Based on Community Feedback
Bethesda isn’t stopping there, though. They’ve committed to a regular cycle of updates that will include highly requested features, such as:
- Brightness and Contrast controls
- HDR Calibration Menu
- FOV (Field of View) Slider
- Nvidia DLSS Support for PC players
- 32:9 Ultrawide Monitor Support for PC players
- And yes, an ‘Eat’ button for food!
Partnerships for Better Performance
The company is also collaborating with tech giants like Nvidia, AMD, and Intel to optimize driver support. This means that each new update will also contain improvements for stability and overall performance.
Mod Support Is On The Way
One of the most exciting revelations is Bethesda’s work on built-in mod support (dubbed “Creations”), slated for a release early next year. This feature aims to be cross-platform and is similar to what we’ve seen in other Bethesda classics like Skyrim and Fallout 4. They recognize the modding community as an essential part of their identity and are eager to support it.
