It's looking increasingly unlikely Starfield will have the quite same kind of longevity as its Bethesda RPG stablemates, but that isn't discouraging the studio from continuing to tinker with the space adventure's core - and one intriguing addition Bethesda has now confirmed is that "new ways of traveling" are coming at some point in 2024.
Bethesda teased new modes of travel in an update shared on Reddit to accompany the launch of a small patch addressing Starfield's "pet-asteroid" bug - which has amusingly caused some players to be relentlessly followed across the solar system by doggedly persistent space rocks.
"We've been hard at work on many of the issues you've posted," Bethesda explained in its message to players, "and expect an update early next year that will include a large number of 'in-progress' quest fixes as well as FSR3 and XeSS. Though we fixed several quest issues from occurring, in-progress quest fixes are much harder to fix and we've built a new system to correct those without you having to roll back your save."
