So, remember when data miners dug into Starfield's files and found whispers of a "cruise mode"? Well, Bethesda tried to quickly bury those hints, but the cat's out of the bag! They've officially confirmed that a new update is on its way to make space travel way more interesting.

In a recent developer spotlight featuring Tim Lamb, a senior producer at Bethesda, he spilled the beans. According to Lamb, the team's working on some cool stuff, including free updates, player-requested features, and even a new DLC story! I think this is a really good sign, since it shows that Bethesda is listening to the community.

Lamb mentioned that they're specifically tweaking the space gameplay to make those long journeys feel more rewarding. I always felt like something was missing when traveling between planets, so this is great news for me and I'm sure that many other players will feel the same. The developers are also throwing in new game systems and "smaller surprises." Plus, there's some content coming from those Verified Creators, which is super exciting!

This tease follows a Steam post promising updates later this year. If you ask me, it looks like something big is brewing in the Starfield universe. Fingers crossed for more details soon!
