Sinds kort kunnen Starfield-spelers aan de slag met de nieuwe uitbreiding Shattered Space. Uit de eerste cijfers blijkt dat de uitbreiding nogal gemixt ontvangen wordt en dat is jammer, want de originele game vonden wij destijds erg vermakelijk. Er is dus werk aan de winkel voor Bethesda om het één en ander te verbeteren en de eerste update staat inmiddels klaar.

Deze update is alleen beschikbaar voor pc, want het is nog in beta. Het is voor nu alleen beschikbaar voor de spelers die zich voor het beta-programma hebben ingeschreven. Desalniettemin zijn er wat interessante dingen uit de patch notes te halen.

Zo kunnen spelers op de Xbox Series X de uncapped framerate optie weer inschakelen, wat tijdelijk niet beschikbaar was. Verder wordt de perfomance ook verbeterd, al wordt er niet specifiek aangegeven op welke manier. Hieronder kan je de patch notes bekijken van deze update, die later naar alle spelers en platformen uitgerold wordt.
