The Starfield update roadmap for 2023 has been uncertain since the game’s launch, but Bethesda has finally shared what it plans to add with its updates for the remainder of the year. In particular, it will be focused on including features that many fans have been requesting, including brightness controls, a FOV slider, and Nvidia DLSS support. And of course Starfield DLC will be released as well. Here’s what the update roadmap looks like for Starfield for the remainder of 2023.
Starfield update roadmap for 2023
Here is what Bethesda is planning for the update roadmap for Starfield:
- FOV slider
- HDR Calibration menu
- Nvidia DLSS support for PC
- 32:9 Ultrawide monitor support for PC
- An “eat” button for food items (without having to go the menu)
- Brightness and contrast controls
- Driver support for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel GPUs for increased stability and performance
It’s unclear when each of these features will be released exactly, though they have been confirmed by Bethesda in an official post concerning update 1.7.29 on September 13, 2023. All that the developer promises is that they will come at a “regular interval of updates.” We’ll just have to see how frequent these updates for Starfield will be to get a feeling of how quickly these anticipated quality-of-life features will be included.
The release date for the Starfield Creation Club, otherwise known as Creations, will not be in 2023, but it has been slated for “early next year.” Bethesda plans to continue support for Starfield for “years and years to come”, so this leaves a lot of room for mods to take a huge part of the future roadmap for the game. Before that happens, the Starfield Shattered Space DLC will likely be released, hopefully before the year is over.
The latest 1.7.29 update was fairly minor and improved the stability of installations on Xbox Series X|S and general performance improvements to reduce crashes. It also fixed various issues with three specific quests, namely “All The Money Can Buy”, “Into the Unknown”, and “Shadows in Neon”.
