At the same time, the patch adds additional support for creation, so up to 2GB of creations can be uploaded, as well as many fixes for tasks, vehicles, UI, and broken Space DLC. The display settings are also very low, which can improve the performance of some devices. Patch description, According to Bethesda's websitebelow.

But waiting for more meaningful news to continue on Starfield, fans are looking to release an extension announcement and a potential PS5 release date on Microsoft's Xbox Showcase.

Starfield was launched in September 2023 as Bethesda's first new IP in 25 years. But that's not like Studio's previous games in the Elder Scrolls and Consequences franchise, and the Broken Space Expansion released a year later after September 2024 rating Steam's user evaluation rating was “mainly negative.”

Starfield continues to attract 15 million players, but some wonder if Bethesda may leave the game and focus on other franchises. June 2024, Bethesda insists it remains committed to supporting Starfieldand confirm that at least other stories will be released after the broken space. In an interview YouTube channel mrmattyplaysTodd Howard of Bethesda Game Studios said the developer’s goal is to release the annual story extension to “hope for a long time.”

March, Guess Starfield will be confirmed to be released on PS5 soon Fans have intensified after they discovered the PlayStation logo on the official Bethesda website. The logo is attached to the on-board decal creation for Starfield’s in-progress, and despite the removal of the creation, fans wonder if Bethesda’s So-Far PC and Xbox-only Sci-Fi-only games will soon be able to jump to Sony’s consoles, as many other Microsoft games have it.

Bethesda itself said Starfield planned “exciting things” this year as players became increasingly dissatisfied with the lack of communication and updates.

While it's easy to forget Starfield given all the attention to Oblivion Remaster, its players want Microsoft and Bethesda to shine on Starfield Xbox Games Display Broadcast June 8. Can it announce both the PS5 version and the new extension?
