Last year, Bethesda promised Starfield players that the game will get a second DLC story and a major update. Some of Starfield’s new features have already been shown during a closed-door preview. That fueled speculation about big changes coming to the game, but Bethesda boss Todd Howard has now shut down those Starfield 2.0 rumors.
“It is not Starfield 2.0,” said Howard during a recent appearance on Kinda Funny (via Insider Gaming). “I’ve seen some of that, and for expectation setting–I think it’s the kinda thing where if you like Starfield, we think you’re going to love this. It’s updates and things that change the game, not in an isolated way, but you know ‘meta,’ using outer space and things in ways that we haven’t. But if Starfield is something that didn’t connect with you right away, or you bounced off it, or found it boring in places, I don’t think it’s going to change that fundamentally. But if you’re someone who loves Starfield and we think [you’ll love it]. We’re really happy with it.”
Several rumors have suggested that Starfield is coming to PlayStation 5, which Bethesda has yet to confirm. However, a recent leak suggests that Starfield’s Switch 2 port has been either canceled or postponed.
