Bethesda has teased an upcoming update for Starfield meant to improve space travel, following a recent bit of data mining from the community that discovered hints of an overhauled “cruise mode”.
Now, a hasty patch was uploaded to remove hints of the cruise mode from the files, but since then Bethesda have come forward with its hands up and admitted that yes, cruise mode is real and is on the way somewhat soon.
This came out via a recent developer spotlight on Tim Lamb, a senior producer at Bethesda. In this video Lamb states: “We have some exciting things in development, including free updates and player-requested features, as well as a new DLC story.”

Lamb continued: “I can’t share all the details yet, but part of the team is focusing on space gameplay to make the journeys more rewarding. We’re also adding new game systems and some smaller surprises. Plus, there’s some exciting content coming from our Verified Creators.”
This little tease also comes in the wake of a Steam post promising exciting updates coming to Starfield later this year. With the game’s absence from Gamescom this year this has led to some confusion, but it looks like something big is on the horizon for Bethesda’s Sci-Fi RPG.
