What does the update bring into play? Many players wanted a vehicle in Starfield. It’s good that the update adds just such a vehicle to the game. It’s a buggy that can be used to comfortably explore the vast planets of Starfield.
Long walking distances are now a thing of the past, the vehicle called REV-8 is used to move much faster and more easily. The developers further explained that you can not only drive it, but also jump and shoot. Resources can also be mined with it.
The innovation has already received a positive response from fans. User “SilverDeath” writes on Reddit:
I love it, honestly. The boosting, the jetpacks, the big wheels, the way your companions can ride in it, the fact that it has a gun. Reminds me of the Mako or Nomad from the Mass Effect games, but in the form of a dirt buggy.
Many players agree with this opinion. The vehicle would be a useful innovation. But ironic comparisons are already being drawn to other “vehicles” from Bethesda games. The horse from Oblivion and its paid horse armor are mentioned in particular, in the quiet hope that the REV-8 will be spared this fate. After all, the game recently made a name for itself with paid missions.
What else does the update bring? Additionally, some bugs in the game will be fixed and new configuration options will be added for the Xbox version.
And the upcoming expansion “Shattered Space” has now also been given a release date. It will be released on September 30, 2024. The expansion is part of the big plans that Bethesda has for Starfield. You can find an overview of it and information about “Shattered Space” on MeinMMO.
