- Todd Howard says that the upcoming update for Starfield isn’t version 2.0.
- He further states that it won’t make you like the game if you never liked it from the start.
- The update is expected in the upcoming months alongside a new DLC expansion and a PS5 port.
Bethesda’s first new IP in over 2 decades wasn’t what fans had expected, as Starfield launched to a mixed reception with many fans claiming that the RPG felt incomplete and wasn’t anything like what had been promised to them.
A major update to the game is underway and is expected to address most of these concerns. Still, these changes won’t magically make players like the game who didn’t prefer the original, as Todd Howard puts it in a new interview.
Why it matters: Starfield wasn’t a bad game at its core, just felt unfinished. Still, Todd Howard managing expectations before this update is good since he wouldn’t want fans to be let down twice.
Speaking in the latest episode of the Kinda Funny Games podcast, Todd Howard said that they’re going to start talking about what’s next for Starfield ‘soon enough.’ In addition, he dismissed the rumors of the update being the rumored Starfield 2.0 and stated the following:
It’s updates and things that change the game, not in an isolated way, but sort of meta, using outer space and things in ways that we haven’t.
From what it seems, Bethesda is making the game feel more alive rather than changing core gameplay systems.
But look, is Starfield something that didn’t connect with you right away, or you bounced off it or found it boring in places—I don’t think this is going to change that fundamentally.
Judged by these words, this update won’t be the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0-esque update that fans had expected, but nevertheless, expect Bethesda to come up with a lot of changes and updates to the game that will certainly make it more interesting.
Aside from that, a PS5 port and a new DLC expansion are also reportedly coming in the same timeframe. Another report hinted at a Switch 2 version, but that seems unlikely as the studio was facing challenges with the port.
