All Patch Notes for Starfield Update 1.14.70

Starfield‘s Shattered Space expansion is here, alongside a new update that applies a whole host of fixes and tweaks to the game. To keep you up to date with these changes, here are all patch notes for Starfield Update 1.14.70.

Here’s What’s Changed From Starfield Update 1.14.70’s Patch Notes

There isn’t all that much in the way of new content in this patch, probably since that’s been reserved for Shattered Space, which is paid DLC. Though there weren’t any reviews prior to the DLC’s release, so make of that what you will.

But the patch does include performance and stability improvements, and you can now load in up to 255 creations. Assuming this refers to mods, I can’t imagine keeping track of that many, but the option’s there if you want it.

You’ll also be less likely to accidentally murder your companions since the area effect from the Annihilator no longer affects them. And while it’s a less lethal issue, your vehicle lights no longer default to on when you load up a save.
