A new Starfield update is live on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC alongside patch notes that reveal and detail everything Bethesda has tweaked. Unfortunately, the update — Update 1.7.33 — does not contain any new content or features, but only “fixes and improvements.” More specifically, Bethesda claims it “addresses some issues with performance and stability as well as a few general gameplay issues.” In other words, it’s a smaller update ahead of a larger update that Bethesda teases it’s working on. When exactly this larger update will arrive though, remains to be seen.ย

While we have the patch notes for the update — which can be seen below — we don’t have any information on the various file sizes of the update platform to platform. In other words, we have no clue how long it will take to download the update on Xbox consoles and PC. It should be quick though as Bethesda itself describes the update as “small.”
