Make that 5001 if they add those long awaited footprints and tire tracks. Fingers crossed.

Yep, very happy about the news, Thx.

A complete surprise for what it may content ... .

Some have talked about space station building comming to Starfield. lol ... , is it already in the next patch/update ... !!!???

I wouldn't get too hyped for stuff like that just yet. I mean that stuff is already in place under the hood along with much more outpost stuff but since they still have some esm game masters available to use those just might come in a future DLC.

I think this one is most likely some QoL stuff but i could be wrong. The reason i want to remind people about the update drawing near is for those who mod their game especially those who use the Starfield Script Extender so they know to either protect their game from updates until they are ready, or they know they won't be able to play on that save until those type of mods are updated.

Modding your game is always at your own risk and protecting your game is one of the first logical steps. But some people always complain that the update broke their mods when in fact their mods broke their game.

Thanks for the info Vlad 254. Am currently only using the Creation Club content from Bethesda themselves with CCC mods from other paid Modders disabled for my current character so no issues in that area. Looking forward to seeing what the next update fixes and or brings to the game.

Cheers and Happy Halloween

A PS5 update (although I don't own a PS5) would be a massive new player base and will only contribute the the long-term success of Starfield.

Satrfield can't pass Sony QC.

You OK with me re-posting this when it comes out on PS5? What you're forever complaining about is not part of QC process so there are no reasons, certainly not your reasons, it'd fail.

It could be the skeleton crew making final bug fixes before they shut down the studio. See, if we had a roadmap like other professional studios we wouldnt have to guess.

A roadmap? It's a released game, not some indy' Early Access.

Even though people don't want to pay for Live Games, they sure want their games to be updated weekly with free content indefinitely. Mods are certainly one way there I guess.

I noticed Bethesda hasnt released any recent original stuff on the store for a while, and what they did put out is embarrassing. I wonder if the have stopped completely just because of the cost. Its super strange.

It is strange that people who say the game is perfect are always broadcasting the next update. Why does a perfect game need an update?

You do realize PS is the better machine compared to xbox right? If it runs on Xbox it can probably run twice as good on PS.

Back on topic. I wonder why they hold to this vow of secrecy instead of posting a roadmap like a professional studio would do.

First, no, it's really not. They're virtually identical, with the XBX having a very, very slight edge on the CPU side. It's not the power of the hw that is the issue, it's the architecture. I can't believe I have to explain this when it's all readily available for anyone who can be bothered to Google it.

No, just because it runs on the XB does not mean it will run better (or at all) on the PS. The reason being that PS architecture. Very basically, PS splits the pipe for processing/mem between graphics and everything else. The twain never meet. XB, otoh, allows those twains can meet. The result is, of course, that games designed for PS architecture can run exceptionally well thanks to those dedicated pipes. However, games that rely on swapping or full use of resources from time to time don't do as well as native games. For some games, like Skyrim, Cyberpunk, or, indeed, Starfield, that require more resources than are available in the dedicated pipes, the engine needs to be revamped to handle that architectural change. It has nothing to do with raw power, at all.

There's no "vow of secrecy" over something that's not going to occur. And providing a business providing a "road map" to end users is nothing to do with its being "professional". Yet one more thing upon which you choose to speak, but of which you demonstrate no actual knowledge.

Lol 1st) Phil Spencer has been walking back Xbox exclusives all year and when directly asked about Starfield, he said it's something being discussed (as of August I think around the time they laid off another few hundred Xbox employees).

2nd) The Xbox is the inferior machine according to sales, cross-console game performance, and devs who have been criticizing the Xbox mandate of including series S titles with their console release for several years now.

I'm not sure if you're naive, a jaded brand fan, or just lying, but it's not healthy for the forum or just life in general. Get informed and do better.
