The Upcoming Starfield Update Is Drawing Players Back Into the Game’s Orbit

Starfield has seen a moderate decline in active players and general interest since its initial release last year, but the game and the developers behind it at Bethesda have stuck by the game, fully intending to breathe new life into it with updates and future DLC content. And now it appears that their hard work has paid off as the upcoming update for Starfield is pulling players back into the Settled Systems, and they are loving it.

If you want to know more about this recent wave of positivity flooding towards Starfield with this upcoming update and what you can expect once it is released to the public, then you're in the right place. Below we'll discuss all the details we know about the latest Starfield update coming later this month and the positive reception it has had so far.

The Upcoming Starfield Update Is Drawing Players Back Into the Game’s Orbit

Bethesda has recently announced its upcoming update for Starfield that promises to deliver on a host of key aspects, from fixing issues that the player base has been griping over to new options for shipbuilding, better maps, and much more. Players who have gotten to test this new update's beta via Steam seem to have nothing but glowing reviews for the update so far.

Based on the reviews we've seen on the official Starfield Subreddit, players are being drawn completely back into the world of Starfield despite some of them even being turned away by the game at first. One user stated: “I’m one of those people that bought the premium edition at launch, played Starfield for about 40 hours, and then never touched it again,” one player explained. “That was back in September. With this update, I’m ready to start a new game and dive back in.”

While these changes don't fix everything for every tester, it's a good sign for the future of the game and could mean that we're in for years of amazing content and improvements to be made to Starfield. “It’s way better than I thought it would be,” one user admitted. “Some of my big complaints are still unchanged, mainly having to do with POIs repeating, NPC schedules, and planets not being distinct enough, but this gave me hope they’ll eventually try to do something about them.” Another user states.

Of course, the general public will still need to get their hands on the update for themselves to see whether or not they agree, and thankfully it drops on May 15, 2024, so we don't have to wait too long to see if it lives up to the hype. I think Starfield has tons of potential and if this update is as good as it's being hyped up to be, I'm excited to see that potential finally get realized with more updates, and the future Shattered Space DLC.
