Starfield quietly drops major new update you can download now

Bethesda is blessing Starfield fans with a new update - Patch 1.14.74 - for both PC and consoles.

You can download the update for free right now and it’ll bring your copy of Starfield up to date with several fixes.

Starfield recently received its first DLC expansion, Shattered Space

The update has been running in beta for a while now and Bethesda has seen fit to release it.

Among the numerous bug fixes and general stability tweaks, players can find some improvements across the board.

For Xbox Series X players, you can now select an uncapped framerate after the option was removed a while ago.

Many quests have received quality of life fixes or feature improvements to adjust the overall experience.

The devs have resolved an issue that has bugged players for a while, whereby your companions wouldn’t speak up. This shouldn’t be a problem any longer.

There are also big improvements to the stealth bar around NPCs which will make stealthing a more viable option in open spaces.

Among all systems, it seems the Tracker’s Alliance got the most work, which will be a joy to those who love a spot of bounty hunting.

It seems the main areas of improvement there are; “Bounty targets will now appear in Akila, Gagarin, and Cydonia” and “Extorting or bribing a bounty target is no longer a guaranteed success.”

Aside from these, it’s business as usual for Bethesda as they iron out any kinks that have appeared over the past few months. It’s no wonder a few more arose after the release of the DLC recently.

This includes a known issue for Steam users who bought the DLC, Shattered Space, and it wasn’t showing the correct ownership in your libraries.

The full patch notes are available if you want to dig a bit deeper and see if any issues you’ve faced have been patched up.
