Starfield’s second update has been released
The game’s latest patch targets performance, stability and gameplay issues
Bethesda has released Starfield’s second update for Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Announcing its availability, Bethesda said the “small update… addresses some issues with performance and stability as well as a few general gameplay issues”.
We’ve republished the update’s full patch notes below.
Bethesda also said it’s continuing to work on a larger update that will add previously announced features and improvements.
Earlier this month, the studio said future updates would introduce “top community requested features” including brightness and contrast controls, an HDR calibration menu, an FOV slider, Nvidia DLSS support, ultrawide monitor support, and an eat button for food.
Starfield was released on September 6, but players who pre-ordered its Premium Edition or Constellation Edition were able to start playing on September 1.
On September 19, its publisher claimed the sci-fi RPG had reached 10 million players, making it “the biggest launch in Bethesda history”.
Starfield was reportedly the fifth fastest-selling game across Europe this year, based on launch week performance.
