Starfield update 1.10.30 is now available to download for select PC players. This release introduces over 500 changes to the space-faring RPG, including some highly requested gameplay features, like the ability to set the protagonist's poses and expressions in Starfield's Photo Mode.
Starfield has received over half a dozen updates since its September 2023 launch. While many of those releases were smaller patches, Bethesda shifted into a higher gear come 2024, when it has started putting out much more sizable game revisions.
That trend is now continuing with the 1.10.30 update, which just became available for download in beta. Although Bethesda has already revealed half a dozen changes arriving in this Starfield patch ahead of its debut, what it didn't say was just how massive this release was going to be. Namely, the changelog attached to the patch includes 507 items: 8 features and 499 changes, which mostly consist of bug fixes accompanied by the occasional gameplay and UI tweak.
The new gameplay changes include the ability to set the player character's poses and expressions in Photo Mode, as well as interact with doors and harvestable resources while having the survey scanner open. Furthermore, it is now possible to change the active quest by simply setting the course on an inactive mission, while undoing moves in the lockpicking mini-game will no longer cost a digipick. The update also allows players to adjust the third-person ship camera's field of view, as well as change the quality of anisotropic filtering.
Fast traveling from a planet's surface to orbit will now be preceded by an autosave, which could make the occasional crash less painful to endure. That said, Starfield has long been in a fairly stable state, so fast travel-induced crashes are far from the norm. The 1.10.30 update also fixes the UI lag that would sometimes occur at higher frame rates, on top of making a welcome quality-of-life change that makes holding Alt or RB on Starfield's star map show the names of all star systems.
Prior to this release, Starfield update 1.9.47 held the title of the game's biggest patch. The 1.10.30 changelog is more than four times larger than the 1.9.47 one. As per usual, this experimental patch is only available to Steam users who opt into the game's beta channel. Past updates for the game spent approximately two weeks in testing before rolling out to the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions of the RPG, indicating that update 1.10.30 might hit the stable channel as early as late March.
