Bethesda’s Todd Howard has revealed that the Shattered Space expansion for Starfield is coming in Fall 2024 and that updates to ship-building mechanics are also coming soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howard revealed in an interview with Kinda Funny<\/a><\/strong> that more details about the ship building will drop later this week and that this is a separate update from the Shattered Space expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is a separate update. Shattered Space is in the fall, but we have a big update that’s coming really soon for Starfield,” said Howard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also noted that Starfield’s Creation Kit has been sent out to creators and that more information should be revealed soon – further emphasising that the Creation Kit is still an important priority for them, though he couldn’t announce a launch date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the release of the Fallout series on Amazon has served to massively boast player numbers for Fallout 4 and New Vegas, Starfield’s player count continues to drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last week, Starfield has averaged between 2,000 and 5,000 players – this is notable as other older Bethesda titles still boast much higher numbers, with the likes of Skyrim averaging 10-15,000 players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that Starfield dominated the charts on its release, its substantial drop off is notable when weighed against these other, older titles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether the update and eventual expansion improve these numbers remains to be seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
