A new Starfield update has today been released by Bethesda for Xbox and PC. At the start of November, Bethesda released the latest Starfield patch in beta on PC to test it out before pushing it out to all players. Now, after giving that update a trial run with players for a few weeks, the patch is going live for everyone in an official capacity right now.

Downloadable at this very moment, Starfield update version 1.14.74 is a pretty sizable one. Bethesda has notably improved the performance of Starfield by a hefty margin for those on Xbox Series X and now allows it to go uncapped. In addition to this, Bethesda has added two new Creations at no cost whatsoever, one of which will give players a new vehicle to use within the game.
