Bethesda Game Studios has officially announced that it has "exciting plans" for Starfield, with the development team actively working on future updates. Since its launch in 2023, the space-faring RPG has received numerous patches, but fans have been eagerly awaiting substantial new content.

As Bethesda's first new intellectual property in over 25 years, Starfield carried massive expectations, particularly after being described as "Skyrim in space" by director Todd Howard. While the game received praise for its combat and exploration mechanics, it has faced criticism in recent months due to a lack of fresh content. The absence of Starfield updates during June's Xbox Games Showcase further fueled speculation about the game's future support.

However, Bethesda's recent Steam Beta update for PC included a message confirming continued support for Starfield. The developers stated they are working on future updates, with more details expected "in the coming months." While rumors persist about a second expansion and potential PS5 port, Bethesda has not officially confirmed these developments.

Despite Bethesda's reputation for creating beloved franchises like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, Starfield has struggled to resonate with some players. Former Bethesda developer Nate Purkeypile recently described the game as "too sterile" and expressed hope that the studio would "return to its roots." While bug fixes and improvements are appreciated, the community is primarily hoping for more varied content.

Recent rumors suggest that while a second DLC expansion is in development, Starfield's next major content update might be delayed until 2026. The game's first expansion, Shattered Space, received mixed reactions due to technical issues and perceived lack of innovation.
