'Starfield' Reaches 15 Million Players, Rolls Out November v 1.14.74 Update

by Rainier on Nov. 20, 2024 @ 1:48 a.m. PST

Starfield is a next-generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, where you create any character you want and explore with unparalleled freedom.

The year is 2330. Humanity has ventured beyond our solar system, settling new planets, and living as a spacefaring people. From humble beginnings as a space miner, you will join Constellation — the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy — and navigate the vast expanse of the Settled Systems in Bethesda Game Studios’ biggest and most ambitious game.

In this next generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, you will create any character you want and explore with unparalleled freedom as you embark on an epic journey to answer humanity’s greatest question: What is out there?

Harnessing the power of next-gen technology and built on the all-new Creation Engine 2, Starfield takes you on a journey through space as you strive to answer humanity’s greatest mystery.

Thank you to the over 15 million players who are adventuring through the stars in Starfield!

We’re thrilled that so many of you have embarked on this journey with us, and we appreciate your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve your experience playing the game and wanted to give our community an update on the most recent adjustments we’ve made to Starfield.

Quality of Life Improvements

Starfield’s November Update is now live! In this update, we’ve made some performance and stability improvements for all platforms and reintroduced the uncapped frame rate option for Xbox Series X users. We’ve also addressed several issues that were affecting the Tracker’s Alliance quests, as well as included fixes for some other quest issues that players were running into.

Achievement-friendly Creations

We’re happy to share that we have implemented one of your highly requested features. As of the November Update, Starfield Creations released through the Verified Creators program will have the option to be achievement friendly. This means that certain Creations will no longer block achievements.

If you already have a Starfield creation installed, we encourage you to keep an eye on the Creations menu in Starfield or Bethesda Creations page for its achievement friendly status.

Achievements will not retroactively unlock on previous game saves with Creations, even if those Creations are now achievement friendly.

New Free Creations

Deimog Land Vehicle

As a special gift to our players for our 15 million player landmark, get ready to conquer the terrain of unexplored planets with the all-new Deimog, the latest addition to Starfield’s lineup of high-performance land vehicles. Built for speed and endurance, the Deimog features a fully enclosed cabin to keep you protected as you race through rugged landscapes. Its exceptional handling allows you to navigate even the trickiest terrain with ease, while a powerful rocket launcher ensures you’re prepared for any threats—be it hostile wildlife or clusters of enemies.

Download your Deimog for free today from the Creations menu or here on the Creations site and expand your exploration toolkit with this exciting new ride!

The Perfect Recipe

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, The Perfect Recipe invites you on a heartwarming journey through Akila City, where the past and present collide in the hands of an unlikely dreamer. This character-driven questline introduces you to Harbhajan, a gifted mechanic with a hidden passion for the culinary arts. When you stumble upon a dusty recipe book during your travels, you learn it belongs to Harbhajan—a once-hopeful chef whose ambitions were set aside for a more practical life. Returning the recipes ignites a spark, rekindling old dreams of becoming a galaxy-renowned chef. But could it be too late for a second chance?

The Perfect Recipe is free and available today! Dive into this touching quest and help Harbhajan explore the road not taken in their journey through the stars.
