Starfield’s May update – the one teased by Bethesa’s Todd Howard earlier this week – is now live for beta testing on PC, bringing with it the previously promised surface map overhaul, alongside a new 60fps target mode on Xbox Series X. Additionally, Bethesda has shared a brief look at land vehicles, coming to Starfield in a future update.
Full details of Starfield latest update can be found on Bethesda’s website, with some „big improvements“ for those pesky surface maps leading the new additions. In an accompanying developer video, Bethesda said the goal of its overhaul is to introduce more „utility and detail“ to maps, and that includes cities now being properly represented with 3D maps and icons denoting points of interest.
Additionally, bringing up Starfield’s scanner now superimposes those icons directly onto the environment, so players can more easily find their way to a specific location.
Elsewhere, the update introduces a suite of granular new gameplay options enabling players to configure Starfield to better suit their tastes.
