Bethesda Announces Six 'Top-Requested' Features Coming Soon To Starfield

Eat button for food! Yes please! I've been avoiding picking food items up for a quick heal simply because it clogs my inventory.

Oh man that damn eat button, was baffled that they didn't at launch. Talk about a quality of life improvement 😂

The continued support for this game is a huge part of why I am taking my time. I don't want to get burnt out since I know there is so much more coming in terms of updates and mods.

Stuff that should've been there at launch but at least they're trying to get that in soon after launch.

Love the game. And these don't apply to me cause I'm on Xbox. But still can see the frustrations of the PC community.

Maaaaaaaaaaps please?

Looks good. But the most requested feature is a mini map.

Mini maps on the major areas please.
With waypoint ability.
I can’t remember where everything is in a massive game like this. What a stupid omission Bethesda.

@Cashews I see people ask for minimap, honestly I don’t want one. I just want a real local full screen map when in a planet surface. If I hold that… what’s the 3 line button called? I want to see real local maps. Not the star-chart, and not a grid of dots with a handful of discovered landmarks.

@Tharsman I guess I should have stated "general maps". either works. In a game about the future where you are zipping around space - cartography would seemingly be an afterthought. It is stupid to have it missing and takes nothing from immersion and gameplay.

@BBB careful what you ask for hombre. they are coming and Microsoft is going to charge you a premium for other people fixing their games.

@OldGamer999 I also want a Minimap however they have a waypoint already. If you use the scan ability it will show you lines on the floor with the direction to the quest you are in.

@Balta666
Yes correct I do that for quests.
But there are so many cities etc, I lose where say the certain shops or bars are for buying certain items. These of course are not quests.

I get why planets dont have a map, its generated but the cities is just baffling to me.

@Kaloudz field of view slider

@Kaloudz field of view, i think it lets you pull away further from the character so you can see more? Someone will need to confirm.

I'm working through backlog so when I do get around to Starfield I'll have all the buttons!!!

I think we need a map or mini map I can't believe there isn't one already Especially how big this game is

None of those are on my list of requested features.

@Kaloudz pretty much. It increases the peripheral vision so you see a wider angle. Gets a bit nauseating for me if it’s too high though, the middle of the screen seems to turn to fast. If there is a FOV slider I generally set it to around 110 degrees.

Cool and all but a little disappointing to say an update is out now but doesn't have those additions.
Hope it's soon.

ability to remove a skill point at a cost of credits

No rocket land cruiser like Destiny ☹️☹️

Nice to see the support, I'd particularly like the fov slider!

DLSS support might make it so I can hit 60fps on PC which would make me switch over to that. The HDR slider and contrast options would also be nice as the game has a pretty bland color palette for me in both HDR and SDR.

I still say they needed to integrate the watch like a pip boy. My request is to unlock 60 FPS. You know they have it.

The top 6 issues that are easier to fix than the complete ui overhaul that's needed and multiple qol issues that would be far higher than any of this technical stuff on most players list of problemd would be a more accurate description imo.

But hey, the minuscule percentage of people with 32:9 set ups are sorted...

Still, loving the game. Just like to moan about it too as there's so many frustrating things I find baffling about it lol.

Thank God they're making an eat prompt. It's so annoying having to pick something up and then select it from inventory. The brightness/contrast will be nice too, I like my games a little dimmer. Starfield can look washed out at times.

@datboirsay they do apply to you. I am also playing on Xbox and it desperately needs brightness and HDR controls, as well as maps.

The game is really fun, but the darks look terrible and there's no way to adjust it at the moment. And navigation is just a mess.

If you want to find something that isn't a mission objective, there really isn't any good way to do it.

@OgdenMan That still doesn't apply to me specifically. I have an sdr tv and monitor. The game looks great on both.

Not a bad spot in Xbox exclusives over the past 10 years. It is kinda funny that The Outer Worlds scored an 85! I know, not Xbox exclusive, but future games will probably be.

91 - Forza Horizon 3
90 - Microsoft Flight Simulator

Edit: Updated to reflect Starfield’s return to 84.

fov slider and brightness control should be from the start it is 2023...
who cares about the rest...
mods already are better then bethesda patches

I would prefer if it had PS5 controller support on PC gamepass version.

I was waiting until I finished Metroid Prime before jumping into Starfield, but may just hold off until the end of the year now until it is in better shape

How about a better/streamlined planetary travel system!
The current one sucks!

Between StarLink, No Man's Sky and Mass Effect, this has the worst space travel!
I thought the Mass Effect one was bad. But hoo-boy, this needs MAJOR improvement!

Also, unless we have an active quest, DO NOT show ALL quest markers!
It gets really crowded and confusing trying to find just the one I want!

They skipped the number one requests feature though. SIXTY FRAMES ON XBOX!!!!!!!!!! What a bunch of CHUMPS

It's weird that I'm excited for the Eat Button. No more cluttering up my inventory with Chunks and Terrabrew.

@Spider-Kev Relax dude, there's a toggle in the mission tab for showing only the active quest marker.

@Nighto4
Yeah and it doesn't work.
It only ever shows ALL quests markers.

Works on my machine™

I require non human playable characters!

That eat prompt button will be godsend. So many snacks I pass up on because micromanagement is a mission in itself.

I think it would be cool to have something to ride/move faster on planets when surveying. Takes a long time to do it on foot.

Good lord. Reading the comments, this sounds absolutely painful to play! I get the Eurogamer review.

I really want to play this, but I want to properly enjoy it. so just how I did with NMS and Cyberpunk I'll wait after a few updates before I buy it.

I would love the ability to create a shipyard at an outpost so I can display all the ships I own! Won’t hold my breath but most likely a mod for this will 1 day happen!

Shame no 60fps for Series X.. Unacceptable, My god give us a choice what WE want to use, add a performance mode that gives us 60fps

Would love to have coop mode as alot of my friends won't play as its solo only

Still blows my mind they released this almost year delayed game (£70rrp) without brightness settings…let alone HDR settings.

Game has so many little problems that all add up it’s crazy the lack of polish that’s there for something from Bethesda that’s so clearly put effort into being polished. Simple things like pause walking animations of NPCs when you’re engaged in a conversation…so you’re not being constantly moved out of the way or having them in the way.
Have Npc not try and talk to you when you’re already in a conversation. So you don’t feel like a schizophrenic whilst you’re following somebody who’s trying to feed you plot

And then there’s the not so simple things… loading screens I don’t personally have a problem with… till I have to face them constantly because my ships decided to turn sentient and just take off as soon as I land.
Or I suddenly decide I’ve had enough of this life and throw myself in the air to face palm a barrier and be told i need to load back to my ship

And I’ve been pretty lucky with bugs I’d say.

God knows what this game was like a year ago

I’m loving Starfield so far. It’s a game that I don’t intend to rush. I have put the Xbox controller down during the past week to finish my pursuit of the Platinum trophy in Final Fantasy 16 - just 2 to go! After that, I will be balancing Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077. Probably a full play though with 2.0 and Phantom Liberty.

By the time I am ready to strictly focus on Starfield, we should have several updates.

One of the top requests is
32:9 Ultrawide Monitor Support (PC)
Really?

I must be so out the loop these days.

@sheldonlufc @Dillydilly93 it's 2023. Where is 120 fps?

@Bl4ckb100d the bugs here are worse than cyberpunk. Less graphical glitches, but big problems. Like losing your entire inventory.

@abe_hikura it's literally designed to make the game appear longer. In actuality it's tedious. A lack of maps is a lack of respect for the player.

@Aniscape obvious feature. Also, and maybe I haven't levelled up enough yet. I really would like to be able to strip parts from one to outfit the other.

@Echtzeit IKR

@Balta666 those scan lines are the worst in any game. They dissapear frequently. And when the destination is far way they often are unhelpful.

@lacerz it's a 10 in my book

@Reptilio I like Fallout, so I think I’d like Starfield. I really enjoyed Oblivion, but couldn’t get into Skyrim even though I bought it twice (original and VR).
