Bethesda has reassured fans that Starfield still has plenty of life ahead of it, with “a lot of exciting things planned” for 2025.
That comment comes from a short post on X (formerly Twitter) after a fan commented on an official post saying, “I love Starfield to bits, I’m still playing the game to this day BUT… you really need to start communicating on what’s happening with the next update/DLC.”
While it’s nowhere near a concrete update on what’s coming next, Bethesda responded by assuring fans that things are in the works and still on track for this year.
“We know you’re eager for an update, and we truly appreciate your passion for Starfield,” writes Bethesda. “The team has been hard at work, and while we’re not ready to share specific details just yet, we have a lot of exciting things planned for the game this year that we can’t wait to talk about when the time is right.”
Bethesda ended the post by saying, “We’re always listening and taking your feedback to heart. Thanks for being part of this journey with us.”
Starfield’s first big expansion, Shattered Space, released in September 2024 to somewhat middling reviews. In our own review, we wrote: “Starfield: Shattered Space introduces a new story and setting within the Settled Systems, offering a deeper look into the mysterious Va’ruun faction. However, the DLC falls short of Bethesda’s previous high standards, with performance issues, clunky quests and underwhelming execution preventing it from reaching the heights of the base game or other beloved Bethesda titles.”
Since Shattered Space, we’ve only had small patches and updates, and heard even less on the next planned expansion. It’s good to hear things seem to be coming along, but 2025 is already busy with new game releases. The real test will be if Bethesda can carve out interest amidst all the new titles, especially with the likes of GTA 6 looming on the horizon.
Starfield is available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
