Starfield’s latest free update is here and is bringing a highly-requested feature: the REV-8 land vehicle! Now is your chance to explore new frontiers (and reach new heights) in your very own land cruiser.

Ready to head out in the REV-8? Visit your favorite city’s ship technician to install a vehicle module and you’re good to go! Once you have the module in your ship of choice, the REV-8 will automatically deploy right outside your ship wherever you land. You can even show off your personal style by customizing the REV-8 with unique colors.

As you’re touring planets in Starfield, you’re bound to run into some hostile elements. The REV-8 is equipped with a powerful mounted turret as well as armor for additional protection when driving. Your boosters can help get you out of a sticky situation quickly, but they’re not just forward boosters… you can also hit the boosters to add some jump to your ride, letting you sail through the air and reach areas that would have previously been much tougher to get to.

Also available in the August Update are new Xbox Series S display settings to mirror existing Xbox Series X settings.

New settings:

• Frame Rate Target: You can now choose between 30, 40, 60 or an Uncapped frame rate on VRR displays. If you do not have a VRR display running 120hz, you will still be able to select from 30 or 60. Screen tearing may occur at times when selecting 60 on a non-VRR display.
  
• Prioritize: You can now prioritize between Visuals and Performance while trying to maintain the frame rate target. If you’re choosing a frame rate target of 60 or above, we recommend changing this to Performance. Prioritizing Visuals keeps the highest resolution while maintaining full detail for special effects, lighting, and crowds. Prioritizing Performance lowers internal resolution and detail for special effects, lighting, and crowds. Both modes may adjust internal resolution dynamically when scenes or action get heavier as well. When switching between modes, you will see the lighting change briefly as the system catches up to the new mode.
  
• VSync: You can now toggle between VSync off or on. Choosing off will separate the game frames from the monitor's refresh rate and may result in screen tearing. Toggling On will synchronize the frame rate to the monitor's refresh rate avoiding screen tearing but limiting number of frames.

Starfield’s latest update is here bringing several exciting new features that help you experience the Settled Systems in a whole new way. If you missed our latest video about what’s in store for this update, you can check it out below and get a full breakdown of features here.

Creations are now available in Starfield. What does that mean? You can now access and play new content in Starfield. Creations may include new missions, gear, skins, weapons, and more! You’ll also find Bethesda Game Studios Creations including one of the new Trackers Alliance missions, The Vulture. You can find Creations via the in-game menu. For those of you who own Starfield's Premium Edition, you will also find 1000 Creation Credits within this menu.

If creating your own content for Starfield is something that interests you, you may also now download the Creation Kit for Starfield on Steam. Note, this is a separate download from the game download and is only available on Steam.

New missions have been added to Starfield as part of this update. Trackers Alliance establishes the first of several missions enabling you to live your best bounty-hunting life. The first mission, The Starjacker will have you in contact with a mysterious Tracker located in settlements throughout the Settled Systems. From there, let the hunts begin!

The second Trackers Alliance mission, The Vulture is available within the new Creations menu. And what bounty hunter is without their trusted methods to get the job done?

This update also introduces the bounty scanner system that enables you to seek and destroy (or peacefully resolve...?) those targets with bounties on their heads. If you still want more, you can also check out the Elite Trackers Alliance mission board.

Those of you who appreciate being extra crafty may now find new melee weapon tiers and the ability to modify melee weapons when crafting. For those that prefer the firepower approach, ammo crafting has also been added with this update. You can research your preferred ammo at a Research Station and craft them at an Industrial Workbench!

When a distress signal originating from a derelict star station leads you on a path to Va’ruun’kai, you’ll begin to uncover the secrets surrounding the followers of the Great Serpent. Explore a new location, take on new enemies and experience the story of House Va’ruun when Shattered Space launches later this year.

Official mod support via Creations; new bounty hunting features and quests; and improvements to melee weapons are the highlights of Starfield’s June Update. The June Update is now available to download on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Join the Trackers Alliance in a free new mission available as part of the June Update. The StarJacker is the first mission in a series of bounty hunting quests. To start your journey with the Trackers Alliance, a mysterious Tracker will show up in various settlements across the Settled Systems. They’ll invite you to their headquarters in Akila City for a trial mission. Track down an elusive individual who is wanted for stealing starships and earn some new gear for completing the job.

New Trackers Alliance missions will be available periodically through the Creations menu, but you don’t have to wait long for the next one. The second mission in the Trackers Alliance series, The Vulture, is available for purchase in the Creations menu today.

Starfield Premium Edition owners will receive 1,000 Creation Credits to celebrate the launch of Creations. Redeem your Creation Credits on any available content in the Creations menu, including the next Trackers Alliance mission.

Continuing the bounty hunting theme introduced with Tracker’s Alliance, the latest update adds a new Bounty Scanner System. Scan the citizens of the Settled Systems as you explore, and you may find some carrying a bounty. From there you can choose how you confront them. You can try to persuade them into finding a peaceful resolution to the situation…or you can resort to more extreme methods.

The June Update adds improved tiers for melee weapons as well as the ability to improve your melee weapons at crafting benches. You’ll now see melee weapons with higher damage in the game that you can then take to a crafting bench to improve further.

In addition to the improvements to the melee weapon system, you can also now research the types of ammunition you like at a Research Station and craft them at an Industrial Workbench! No need to fear running out of ammo for your favorite gun when you can just hunker down and make some more.

Starfield’s largest update since launch is coming on May 15! The May Update includes more detailed surface maps; new gameplay difficulty options and performance settings; new features for ship customization and more!  

In this in-depth breakdown, Community Director Jessica Finster is joined by Joe Mueller, Istvan Pely and Tim Lamb from Bethesda Game Studios to discuss everything the update has to offer, plus some insights into the future of Starfield.

Community feedback is a huge source of inspiration for the team at Bethesda Game Studios, and one of the most requested features has been more detailed surface maps, and the latest update delivers. These improved maps replace surface dots with terrain markings, which, combined with actually seeing the points of interest on the map, makes it much easier to see where you are and what’s around you.

Additionally, new markers have been added in the major cities to show the locations of vendors and each of these markers acts as a fast travel point, so you’ll be able to head straight there quickly and easily from your Scanner or the surface map.


The new update also introduces a host of new gameplay options, including the ability to increase vendor credits and carry capacity or access your ship cargo from anywhere through your player inventory. You can also play around with some survival features, like the effects of food and your environmental hazards. Of course, there are also some new combat settings, so you could make space combat harder and run-and-gun combat easier if you want to. And if you’re looking for a bigger challenge, there’s now a new Extreme difficulty above Very Hard. These settings can be tuned to allow you to focus on the style of gameplay you enjoy the most. Depending on how you balance them out, you might even get some bonus experience.


In Starfield, your ship is your home. The latest update takes that to a new level by expanding the amount of interior customization you can do in your ship. The system is now very similar to how you decorate your outposts. The update also includes new completely empty hab modules, allowing you to start your decorating from scratch. This also lets you play around with your ship’s layout with more openings available for doorways.


We’ve heard from many that you’d like to have more control over the graphic fidelity and performance on Xbox, similar to how PC players can customize their experience. We’re now enabling that on Xbox Series X with a few options that you can use to find the best fit for your playstyle and display.

For each of these, we highly recommend a Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) Display running at 120hz, and to verify your Xbox is setup to use it. If you have it set up this way, Starfield will now default to a frame rate target of 40, while keeping the priority for full visuals.

• Frame Rate Target: You can now choose between 30, 40, 60 or an Uncapped frame rate on VRR displays. If you do not have a VRR display running 120hz, you will still be able to select from 30 or 60. Screen tearing may occur at times when selecting 60 on a non-VRR display.
  
• Prioritize: You can now prioritize between Visuals and Performance while trying to maintain the frame rate target. If you’re choosing a frame rate target of 60 or above, we recommend changing this to Performance. Prioritizing Visuals keeps the highest resolution while maintaining full detail for special effects, lighting, and crowds. Prioritizing Performance lowers internal resolution and detail for special effects, lighting, and crowds. Both modes may adjust internal resolution dynamically when scenes or action get heavier as well. When switching between modes, you will see the lighting change briefly as the system catches up to the new mode.

Replayability is huge in Bethesda Game Studios games, and in Starfield the universe opens up *even more* with New Game Plus. Now, after you enter the Unity, you’ll have the option to change both your appearance and your Traits. It’s another way for you to choose who you want to be in your new universe.


In addition to the major features coming in this update, there are also a ton of quality-of-life improvements like the ability to toggle the dialogue camera off. Now you’ll be able to watch scenes play out from your chosen perspective. There are also new tabs in your Container and Barter menus, making it easier to see where you’re navigating to when quickly cycling through the menus.


The team isn’t slowing down with this update. There are some major features on the horizon, including a land vehicle for speedier planetary exploration, official mod support for Starfield, and the massive Shattered Space expansion. Stay tuned in the coming months for more news on these!

Starfield’s latest update is here and it’s bringing several new features with it!

• Improved surface maps - We’ve heard your feedback, and we’ve made some big improvements to surface maps, so you’ll always know just where to go and no longer “get lost” on the way to your parents’ place (and they weren’t buying that excuse anyway, you should really go visit them).
  
• New gameplay options - For those of you who like a bit of an extra challenge or want to make some aspects of the game easier, you can customize your experience with brand new options in the Settings menu. Want to make ground combat harder but ship combat easier? You can do just that!
  
• Added Ship Decoration mode to the interior of Ships – now you can decorate your ships just like you can with Outposts!
  
• Added Tabs to Container menus to make managing your inventory easier.
  
• Added the ability to change Traits and appearance after entering the Unity.
  
• Added Dialogue camera toggle in the Settings.
  
• Added Display settings for Xbox Series X to prioritize Visuals or Performance, adjust Frame Rate Target, and toggle VSync. (Series X)

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Read on for a full list of fixes and improvements!

(PLEASE NOTE: This update is currently in Steam Beta before going live for all players. We don’t anticipate much to change from this update but will let you know when it’s available and any adjustments we make to the notes below. Thank you!)

AMD FSR 3 comes to Starfield in our latest Steam Beta. Those of you playing on Steam can opt into the Beta to see the improvements brought to the game before this update becomes available to all our PC Starfield players.

This new feature allows for a combination of upscaling as well as advanced frame generation, boosting your framerate for better performance. While AMD’s FSR 3 works for a wide range of video cards, you will want to verify that your system supports it[community.amd.com] so that you get the best experience. It is also recommended to use FSR 3 with VSync ON and with a VRR monitor for the best experience.

For those participating, you can enable FSR 3 by heading to Display Settings and accessing the Upscaling options. From there you will be able to cycle through the option best suited for your experience.

As with any update, we look forward to reading your feedback and seeing you share your experiences. Thank you for your support and see you in Starfield!
