Starfield receives a new patch and an achievement-friendly Creation to bridge the DLC gap, yet fans eagerly await Bethesda's announcement regarding the next expansion and PS5 release.
Watchtower, the latest Starfield Creation by renowned RPG modding studio Kinggath Creations—famous for Fallout 4's Sim Settlements—introduces a fully voiced story, new faction, and fresh quests. Notably, Bethesda has endorsed it through official channels and even released a trailer:

The latest patch enhances Creations support, enabling uploads up to 2GB while addressing quest, vehicle, UI, and Shattered Space DLC bugs. It also introduces Very Low settings for better performance on certain devices. Full patch notes are available on Bethesda's website.
Despite these updates, the Starfield community remains anxious for major announcements, particularly concerning a potential expansion and PS5 release date during Microsoft's June Xbox showcase.
Originally launched in September 2023 as Bethesda's first new IP in a quarter-century, Starfield failed to match the acclaim of The Elder Scrolls or Fallout series. Its Shattered Space DLC, released in September 2024, currently holds a "mostly negative" Steam rating.
Though Starfield surpassed 15 million players, speculation arose about Bethesda abandoning it for other franchises. However, in June 2024, Bethesda reaffirmed its commitment, promising at least one more story expansion post-Shattered Space. Todd Howard hinted at annual expansions "for hopefully a very long time" in an interview with YouTuber MrMattyPlays.
PS5 rumors gained traction in March after fans spotted PlayStation branding on Bethesda's Creations site, though the referenced ship decal was later removed. This fueled speculation about Starfield joining other Microsoft titles on Sony's platform.
Bethesda acknowledges player frustration over sparse updates but teases "exciting things" ahead. With Microsoft's June 8 Xbox showcase approaching, fans anticipate potential announcements regarding both PS5 compatibility and new expansions.
