Bethesda just dropped a bombshell. Starfield is about to get its most significant update into Steam Beta on January 17. This will include over 100 fixes and improvements. The update will be released on the live version two weeks after the beta one.
First up, Bethesda is tackling some pesky quest issues. If you’ve been struggling in the Eye of the Storm quest with things like docking the Legacy or transferring data, breathe easy – they’re fixing that. And those of you who’ve been scratching your heads in Into the Unknown because Temples weren’t showing up are getting sorted, too. Our adventures with Constellation are about to get a lot smoother.
But wait, there’s more! The update isn’t just about fixing bugs; it’s also about giving us a visual feast and a more stable game. We’re talking:
- Better support for widescreen displays (yes, please!)
- Upgraded textures, lighting, and shadows (get ready for some eye candy)
- Side-by-side comparisons to show off the improvements (can’t wait to see this!)
The team didn’t stop there. They’re also tweaking other things like the sun disk geometry, fixing those annoying bulldozed objects at Outposts, sorting out ship hatches, and dealing with asteroids that love to tail our ships a bit too much. Some of the highlights of this update can be found below.
Next week, on January 17, we’ll be putting our biggest @StarfieldGame update yet into Steam Beta with over 100 fixes and improvements, with a planned release date for all players two weeks later. Here’s some of what you can expect: pic.twitter.com/IPpVjuG5OQ

This update contains a multitude of fixes to Quests. Eye of the Storm issues such as being unable to dock with the Legacy or data transfer not starting, and Temples not showing up in Into the Unknown, will no longer prevent Constellation from exploring the cosmos. pic.twitter.com/EkJl2qbpAh
