Bethesda’s hotfix aimed at addressing crashes for Starfield players utilizing the Enhanced setting on their PS5 Pro is now available. As for everyone else, a separate hotfix for the base PS5 is coming sometime next week.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of a lot of players reporting crashes and being quite vocal with their dissatisfaction. It’s quite understandable given how highly anticipated this space sci-fi RPG was after successful run on PC and Xbox. Unfortunately, this doesn’t address other issues that players have been having, and the wait for a fix on the PS5 is sure to be excruciating to those who can’t wait to begin exploring the Settled Systems. Still, this first effort is a step in the right direction.
Responses to the tweet announcing the hotfix’s release showcase a lot of players continuing to experience issues, a situation that the studio is going to want to remedy sooner rather than later. That’s especially true if it aims to sustain the hype for its rumored Switch 2 port of the game, although an official announcement is yet to make itself known.
You can check out the announcement and the responses to it if you want a front row seat to what’s unfolding. You can also check out our review of the PS5 version here.
