Bethesda envied CD Projekt RED? Starfield may undergo a Cyberpunk 2077-style metamorphosis

by

Recent reports from sources like Jez Corden of Windows Central, YouTuber Luke Stephens, and insider Detective Seeds indicate that Bethesda held a private event where Todd Howard discussed the plans for their upcoming space RPG.

Starfield players are eagerly awaiting a major update that will completely change how they travel. The developers are working to eliminate frustrating loading screens and make space travel feel more seamless. This improvement will involve significant changes to the game’s engine, the Creation Engine, and could also lead to better travel experiences in future Bethesda games like The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5.

There’s exciting news about potential new platforms for games. Rumors suggest that Starfield might come to both the PlayStation 5 and the next Nintendo Switch (Switch 2) in 2026, which would mean the game has been significantly improved to run on those systems. The release of a new Starfield expansion, possibly called Terran Armada, has been delayed until early 2026, in part because Microsoft already has a lot of other games scheduled to come out around that time.

James Corden reports that there’s disagreement about how much Starfield will be improved. Some people within the industry are hoping for a major overhaul, similar to the comeback Cyberpunk 2077 made, but others are more cautious. They explain that Bethesda is currently focused on developing The Elder Scrolls 6 and capitalizing on the popularity of the Fallout TV show, which limits their resources for Starfield.
