Starfield, the space role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios, is receiving a major update to mark its upcoming launch on Playstation 5 on April 7. This free content update, called “Free Lanes”, brings numerous new features designed to enrich the player experience. Notable new features include cosmetic improvements, new companions and the ability to keep a pet.
New travel feature and dynamic exploration
Traveling between planets is a central element of the update. The newly introduced “cruising” feature allows players to fly through space more dynamically and significantly reduces the number of loading screens. Players now have the option to use the autopilot to spend time with their crew or customize the ship to their liking. Random encounters and anomalies should make the exploration tours even more varied.
New companions and the X-Tech system
The update also brings new companions to the game, including the long-awaited character Maria and a small cleaning robot called Model G. This robot, which is similar to a pet, can also be used on missions. In addition, “Free Lanes” introduces the X-Tech system, which allows players to modify their weapons and create exotic weapons.
New story DLC: Terran Armada
In addition to the new content of “Free Lanes”, Bethesda announces a new story DLC entitled “Terran Armada”. This DLC opens a new chapter in the Starfield universe and focuses on deeper stories with new enemy factions and ships. According to the developers, “Free Lanes” is the most extensive update for Starfield to date, which aims to make the game world more lively and dynamic.
