Starfield’s 2025 Updates: Exciting New DLC on the Way!

Starfield, Bethesda’s space-themed role-playing game, last received a significant update in November 2024. However, whispers about potential updates for 2025 have been circulating due to leaks, and now Bethesda has officially hinted at “exciting developments” on the horizon for this space RPG. Given the prolonged silence regarding any new information about the game, it’s intriguing to learn that the team is indeed still busy crafting fresh content. Although Bethesda hasn’t revealed the specifics of these “exciting developments,” they seem to be actively working on them.

The information originates from a post on the official @StarfieldGame Twitter account, addressing a fan’s query about providing more openness regarding future DLC. The post indicates that there are significant plans for Starfield “this year” and they will reveal more details when appropriate. However, the exact timing is not specified, but considering Bethesda’s recent discussions about The Elder Scrolls 6, it appears the studio has some projects in development for 2025.

We understand your eagerness for news regarding Starfield, and we want you to know that we value your enthusiasm. The team has been putting in a tremendous effort, and though we aren’t prepared to disclose particulars quite yet, there are plenty of thrilling developments in store for the game this year that we can hardly wait to discuss with you!

Starfield might be in line for another free update, considering the recent November patch focused mainly on bug fixes and enhancements. The game could certainly benefit from fresh content at this point. Since the team has previously signaled additional DLC for Starfield, it’s possible that Bethesda is alluding to new downloadable content.

Approaching another instalment of paid DLC might seem unusual, considering the unfavorable response to the initial Starfield expansion. The Shattered Space DLC currently holds a Mostly Negative rating on Steam and a 62 Metacritic score. Given that expansions aim to re-engage players following the completion of the main story, this isn’t the most promising sign for Bethesda. Yet, they may be hoping to rectify the issues encountered with Shattered Space.

Bethesda “Taking Feedback to Heart” for Next Starfield DLC

In the same announcement about Starfield’s ambitious plans for 2025, they mention that their team is consistently attentive and takes player feedback seriously. When discussing potential additions to Starfield, there’s no lack of input from the players for the developers to consider. Steam reviews indicate that the DLC encountered issues at launch, with some users describing it as a “faulty DLC.

As a gamer, I’ve got some gripes to share about this game. It feels like the NPCs lack soul and their dialogue often seems pointless, and there are way too many fetch quests. Some players argue that it doesn’t justify the $30 price tag due to the limited amount of new content added. They even go as far as calling it a “borderline scam.” Interestingly, I only gave this game a try because I had pre-ordered the Deluxe version, which came with the DLC right off the bat – all in anticipation for Starfield.

It’s evident that significant adjustments are necessary for the upcoming DLC of Starfield, considering the player feedback Bethesda has received regarding Shattered Space. The team seems to be aware of the major issues, but it remains to be seen if the next expansion can revive players’ enthusiasm for the space RPG. Until Bethesda reveals their plans for Starfield in 2025, we’re left wondering just as much as we look into the vastness of space itself.
