[UPDATE] Bethesda Game Studios has now responded to the Starfield update 1.8.88 thread on Reddit to reveal plenty of details on the game's patch roadmap for next year.
To begin with, the developer will add AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 and Intel XeSS support in early 2024, as well as several “in-progress” quest fixes.
Moreover, the folks at BGS are working on city maps, native mod support, and 'all new ways of traveling'. Could that refer to some sort of vehicle to explore planets? Anyway, Bethesda is targeting a regular cadence of updates taking place roughly every six weeks, while smaller hotfixes like the one mentioned below will be sprinkled in between.
[ORIGINAL STORY] Bethesda Game Studios released a new Starfield update for all platforms (PC, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X). Version 1.8.88 mainly fixes the well-known 'pet asteroid' bug, where an asteroid dutifully followed players everywhere they went in space.
This is obviously a minor update. The previous Starfield update added major features, such as NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation, Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing, and Reflex Low Latency, in late November. Moreover, the developer introduced several CPU (renderer threading model) and GPU optimizations that improved the game's PC performance on high-end PC configurations, restoring the traditional balance of power between AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. On the gameplay side, Bethesda added the ability to eat food wherever you find it in the world and adjusted the stealth system to be more forgiving.
The developers didn't share yet any news on what will be included in the next major patch. However, players are certainly eager to get the full-fledged modding tools at some point in 2024.
Meanwhile, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer revealed that Starfield has surpassed 12 million players. The goal of Microsoft and Bethesda is to keep it alive for as long as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, so we should expect a lot of updates over the years.

These days, fighting games live and die based on their online playerbase, and yet, Mortal Kombat 1 did not launch with crossplay support. Thankfully, that will change relatively soon though, as NetherRealm Studios announced in a recent livestream that crossplay between PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 will be coming in early 2024 (perhaps unsurprisingly, the ill-fated Switch version is left out).

Insomniac is not quite yet done with adding new content to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Although the promised accessibility update and New Game Plus mode haven’t launched yet, more features are coming.
Open your map in Starfield and you won't see much more than a height map, even in cities. If you want to then travel around, you're limited to walking huge distances when on planet surfaces and using fast travel spaceship hops when in outerspace.
Insomniac Games has announced that it is targeting an early 2024 release window for the much-awaited New Game Plus update for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The studio, announcing the release window over social media platform X, stated that it needs more more time to test the feature.
Spiders’ 2019 RPG GreedFall is what you would call a diamond in the rough- a game that certainly had its issues, but one that endeared itself massively to those who played it nonetheless. Naturally, then, when GreedFall 2: The Dying World was announced last year, the news was met with plenty of excitement. But with it having been well over a year since the game’s announcement, many are beginning to wonder when we’ll be hearing more news about the RPG.
Ubisoft confirmed last month that it would be adding New Game Plus and a Permadeath mode to Assassin’s Creed Mirage with a free update in December, but it seems those plans have been slightly tweaked. While New Game Plus is arriving as scheduled, Permadeath mode will be added a little later.
