No Better Time to Play
With the many updates and improvements that we’ve made to the Starfield base game, Shattered Space is the perfect time to jump into Starfield. Here are just a few of the new features and improvements we’ve made since launch.
REV-8 Land Vehicle
The REV-8 has landed! Now is your chance to explore new frontiers (and reach new heights) in your very own land cruiser. The REV-8 land vehicle is fitted with a mounted turret to fight off hostile wildlife and forward boosters to get you where you want to go fast.
Improved Maps
One of the most requested features for Starfield, improved and more detailed surface maps were implemented, adding points of interest. We also added fast travel markers for vendors in cities making getting around in Neon and other large cities much easier.
Starfield Creations
We also launched Creations for Starfield bringing a whole host of new bespoke content to the game from our devs and Creators.
New Gameplay Options
There have been a few exciting updates to Starfield that allow you to customize the way you play the game, including accessing ship cargo from anywhere in your player inventory, the ability to increase vendor credits and carry capacity.
In addition, we’ve added difficulty settings and the ability to change survival features such as the effects of food and environmental hazards. In terms of combat settings, you can make space combat more difficult or make run-and-gun combat easier.
For an extra challenge, play on the new Extreme difficulty setting!
Bounty Scanning
The added bounty scanner system enables you to seek out and destroy targets with bounties on their heads. For more bounties, check out the Elite Trackers Alliance mission board.
Melee Weapon Improvements and Ammunition Crafting
We have also added improved tiers for melee weapons and the ability to improve your melee weapons at crafting benches.
Additionally, you can now research types of ammunition at a Research Station and craft them at an Industrial Workbench. No need to fear running out of ammo for your favorite gun when you can just craft more.
So, jump back into Starfield today and experience these and the many other improvements we’ve made to the game!
