- The development team is not considering Starfieldthe upcoming update will be “Starfield 2.0″
- Lead producer Tim Lamb says the team “incrementally improved a lot of systems and added significant content”
- But “‘2.0’ isn’t really how I would describe it”
Starfield is getting two new expansions and a whole bunch of improvements next month as part of a huge content update, but from Bethesda’s point of view, it’s not a “2.0” version of the game.
Speaking during a Q&A at a digital preview event attended by TechRadar Gaming, Starfield lead producer Tim Lamb discussed the game’s recently announced Terran Armada expansion and Free Lanes update.
Terran Armada will add brand new premium content while Free lanes patch, which will be available to all players, will introduce an exciting new cruise mode and finally let players travel between planets in systems while spending time inside their ship.

This feature in particular has been something that players, including myself, have wanted since the game’s launch in 2023, and it will be accompanied by a ton of quality-of-life improvements.
When asked if Bethesda considers this huge content update to be “Starfield 2.0″, Lamb said “No”, but believes it is the “best version” of the game the studio has made yet.
“No, I wouldn’t frame it as ‘2.0,’” he said. “We have gradually improved a lot of systems and added significant content, and I think this is the best version of Starfieldbut ‘2.0’ is not really how I would describe it.”
Lamb said other tweaks include tweaks to outpost resource management, which will add a shared outpost container and other small improvements and more that have been “driven by feedback from our internal teams and outpost-focused players.”
At long last, the former Xbox-exclusive open-world game will also come to PlayStation 5 on the same day as Terran Armada and Free lanes release.
The PS5 version will also include console-specific features for the DualSense Wireless Controller and offer two exclusive graphics modes on the PS5 Pro: Pro Performance Mode and Pro Visual Mode.
