Starfield, the highly anticipated space RPG from Bethesda Studios, has just received its largest update yet, promising to elevate the player experience with numerous enhancements and new features. Update 1.11.36 improves planetary surface maps, offering more detailed terrain markers and major city vendor locations that double as fast-travel points. Players can now adjust gameplay to their liking with new customizable difficulty options that include carry capacity adjustments, vendor credits modifications, and the ability to access ship cargo from the player inventory. The update also caters to survival enthusiasts by introducing changes to the game's food and environmental hazards mechanics.

The combat system is now more flexible, allowing players to either increase the challenge or simplify run-and-gun combat. For those seeking the ultimate challenge, the new Extreme difficulty mode ups the ante. Meanwhile, ship enthusiasts can delve into ship customization tools, and Xbox Series X players are given additional display settings to enhance their gaming experience, including adaptive frame rate targets and VSync options.

Bethesda is also planning for the future, with a new land vehicle to speed up planetary exploration on the horizon, official mod support for Starfield, and the upcoming Shattered Space expansion set for release this fall. It’s apparent that Bethesda is fully committed to expanding the Starfield universe and enhancing gameplay, as evidenced by these updates and additional quality-of-life improvements such as the ability to change Traits and appearance and a new Game Plus option. While the patch is extensive, the developers promise even more features to come, indicating that Starfield's evolution is far from over.

What is Starfield and when can players expect the new Shattered Space expansion?

Starfield is a space exploration and role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios, set in a vast open universe. Known for its rich narrative and deep customization, Starfield lets players chart their own course across the stars. The Shattered Space expansion is expected to launch this fall, introducing even more content and opportunities for adventure within the game's expansive universe.

Beyond the latest update, Starfield stands as Bethesda's first original RPG in 25 years, building on the company's extensive experience with expansive open-world games such as The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series.
