Understanding the latest Starfield update
After a long hiatus, the developers at Bethesda have finally released a new update for Starfield, which has sparked a variety of responses from its community. Some fans express relief that the game is still receiving attention, while others are left feeling underwhelmed by the update’s content. This new rollout, available in Steam beta, introduces a Very Low display setting, a few adjustments to the Creation Kit, and some bug fixes. However, the overall sentiment among players is mixed.
What’s new in the update?
The most notable feature in this update is the Very Low display setting. While this option may benefit players with lower-end PCs struggling to run the game smoothly, many gamers are skeptical about the appeal of playing with reduced visual fidelity. Furthermore, the update allows modders to add new icons through the Creation Kit, enhancing the potential for more intricate Creations in the future. Additionally, the option to bundle Creations in the store could provide some utility to mod creators.
Community reactions: A blend of hope and frustration
Despite some positive feedback regarding the game’s continued development, many players are expressing frustration over the minimal content provided in this update. The Starfield community on platforms like Reddit and Steam forums has been vocal about their disappointment, especially given that it has been six months since the last significant update. Gamers are eager for more substantial improvements, feeling that Bethesda should have delivered something more impactful after such a long wait.
Teasing new content: Watchtower mod
In a surprising twist, Bethesda hinted at upcoming content from a different developer, specifically a new mod called Watchtower from Kinggath Creations, recognized as one of the best modders in the Fallout 4 community. This mod promises an engaging narrative where players encounter a new faction aiming to protect humanity from various threats. Players will team up with allies to infiltrate the Watchtower and turn its technology against its creators.
What to expect from Watchtower
Set to launch on May 20, Watchtower is being marketed as a significant addition to the Starfield experience. Although it will be a paid mod, the cost is yet to be announced. Players can look forward to an immersive storyline and new gameplay elements that could revitalize interest in Starfield. The community’s anticipation for this mod showcases the desire for engaging content beyond the official updates from Bethesda.
How to access the latest update
For those who want to experience the latest Starfield update, it’s currently available in the Steam beta. To access it, players can right-click on Starfield in their Steam library, select Properties, navigate to Betas, and choose the beta option from the dropdown menu. However, players should note that this will install a new beta build that is not compatible with their existing game saves until the update is officially released.
Patch notes and future updates
The patch notes for this update are available, detailing the changes and improvements made by Bethesda. While the community is eager to see what’s next, the hope remains that future updates will deliver more substantial enhancements and features that reflect the players’ desires. The gaming landscape is ever-evolving, and players continue to share their hopes for what lies ahead in Starfield.
