Starfield: More Updates on the Horizon
Bethesda Hints at Exciting Starfield Developments
Starfield players have much to anticipate. On March 7th, 2025, the official Starfield Twitter (X) account teased exciting plans for the game throughout the year. While specifics remain under wraps, the team confirmed they're actively working on new content and features, promising significant updates for 2025. They emphasized their commitment to incorporating player feedback into these developments.
Game director Todd Howard's June 2024 interview with MrMattyPlays, hinting at potential yearly DLC, adds weight to speculation that the upcoming updates may include a new expansion.
Starfield's Post-Launch Journey
Starfield's 2023 release garnered critical acclaim but also mixed reviews, with some players finding it fell short of the experience offered by previous Bethesda titles like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Despite this, it quickly became a top seller.
Since launch, numerous updates have addressed various aspects of the game, improving features, mechanics, and adding content. However, the first and only DLC to date, Shattered Space (released September 2024), received a "Mostly Negative" reception on Steam, with criticism focusing on repetitive fetch quests, a short main questline, and a lack of engaging new enemies and gameplay mechanics.
Starfield Creative Producer Tim Lamb, in a 2024 interview with The Gamer, expressed the team's ambition to match Skyrim's longevity by consistently delivering post-launch content.
With Bethesda's recent announcement, Starfield fans have plenty to look forward to in 2025. Starfield is currently available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. Stay tuned for further updates!
