Starfield Will Get Some “Really Good” Updates Soon Says Todd Howard

In a recent interview, Todd Howard said that new “really good” updates for Starfield will be announced soon. He shared no other details on what these updates could be.

In conversation with IGN, Howard discussed what Bethseda is working on currently. He said that the primary developmental focus is currently on Elder Scrolls 6, though updates for Fallout 76 continue. He hedged on any specific details about Fallout 5, saying, “I’m going to avoid putting dates on anything.” Finally he said that, “we’re doing a lot of Starfield work as well. So we have some really good updates that are going to get announced soon for that game.”

Xbox will have a showcase in June, so one might be able to expect more details on Starfield updates or DLC then. The most recent Starfield update fixed the game’s photo mode, prevented the furniture in players’ homes from disappearing, and added many other fixes.

In the same interview, Todd attempted to assuage fan concerns about the show’s and Fallout: New Vegas’ canonicity (TLDR: they are both canon). Howard also said in a previous interview that he told the Fallout showrunners and writers to avoid certain things, as they will be covered in Fallout 5.
