Starfield Patch Notes: Shattered Space DLC Update Changes

Bethesda just dropped a big update for Starfield, and it matches up with the release of Shattered Space, the game’s first paid expansion.

For $30 (or $27 if you have Game Pass), Shattered Space brings fresh quests, new weapons, and cool items, plus a whole new area called Va’Ruun’kai. This place is super detailed and has scary new enemies. Bethesda says it’s like their older expansions for Elder Scrolls and Fallout, with a tight story and new ways to play. There’s also a free patch for everyone that fixes a bunch of stuff in the game. Check out the

This patch, version 1.14.70, fixes lots of issues players found. It tweaks quests, improves the REV-8 land vehicle, and makes the ship-building system better. Plus, there are fixes for the user interface and audio. They even shared PC specs for Shattered Space to help it run smoothly.

Sometimes, we just want games to work perfectly right away.
