What officially changed
Starfield's May Update is now live for all players! Releasing on all platforms later this month, this update contains numerous quality-of-life improvements and fixes for quests, vehicles, graphics, and more. The May Update also introduces Very Low display settings to improve performance on some devices. The full list of changes can be found in the full update notes.
In addition to the QoL improvements and fixes, the May Update also brings some goodies for fans of Creations:
Creations up to 2GB in size can now be uploaded
Added the ability for Creators to add new icons to the game
Creations Store now supports bundling Creations
These Creations updates will arrive in the update when it launches for all players later this month.
Speaking of, also launching alongside this update is another exciting Creation from the prolific Kinggath Creations, the team behind “McClarence Outfitters” (Starfield) and "East Empire Expansion” (Skyrim). “Watchtower” introduces a new storyline, new ship attachments and capabilities (like the ability to call in orbital strikes), gear and more.
Official Watchtower Description:
A new faction has emerged from the shadows to protect humanity from potential threats with excessive power – and they’ve identified you as their latest target. Join forces with a fellow adventurer hunted by Watchtower, befriend their contacts and work together to pilfer Watchtower’s technology and turn it against them.
