Bethesda has revealed a significant update for its space RPG, Starfield. This update is highly anticipated by players as it marks what the developer describes as the game’s ‘version 2.0’ moment. Several new features and expansions will enhance the gaming experience.
New Story DLC: Terran Armada
The highlight of the update is the introduction of Terran Armada, a paid story DLC. This new content will include:

The DLC is priced at $10. However, players who have purchased Starfield’s Premium Edition will receive it for free.

Release Date and Pricing Adjustments
All these updates will be available on April 7. This date is particularly notable as it also marks the release of Starfield on PlayStation 5. Alongside the game’s launch on this console, Bethesda will adjust the pricing across all platforms to $49.99, a reduction from the current Xbox price of $69.99.
Additional Content Available
For players eager to dive back into Starfield, Bethesda has also released five new Trackers Alliance adventures. These adventures expand the game’s bounty hunter pack and are available for 700 Creation Credits.
Future of Starfield
In a recent interview, Bethesda’s head, Todd Howard, discussed the game’s ongoing support. He hinted at the future of Starfield and touched on The Elder Scrolls 6, prompting fans to reconsider its early announcement status.
These updates signify Bethesda’s commitment to enhancing Starfield and keeping players engaged with new experiences.
