The game's newest update is also live, bringing quality-of-life improvements, two new free Creations (including a vehicle), and more.
"I don't want it to be, like, the third level that you cut before you launched," says Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer.
"It will be able to take what’s in there right now and put in a lot of new stuff and fix a lot of those problems," says former Bethesda Game Studios dev Bruce Nesmith.
"Nobody, and I mean nobody, at Bethesda is patting themselves on the back while ignoring our players," says Emil Pagliarulo.
More, but not necessarily better.
Bethesda's Emil Pagliarulo also added that it "has its own unique personality and now sits right next to Fallout and Elder Scrolls."
To go along with the space-faring sci-fi RPG's first paid expansion Shattered Space's release, Bethesda has also released a new patch for the base experience.

Here's everything you need to know about the first expansion for Bethesda's space-faring epic.
As players explore the hand-crafted world of Va'ruun'kai, they'll run into other enemy factions and combat Vortex Horrors.
Va'ruun'kai's capital, Dazra, is in dire straits after an experiment gone wrong, with a massive crater and the citadel trapped.
Players can also use organic material to create disgusting new grenades and may run into other faction members on Va'ruun'kai.
Players that want to take a break from Shattered Space will also be free to leave the new planet and return at any time.
The expansion will launch for Xbox Series X/S and PC on September 30, bringing players to Dazra, an entirely new city that serves as the mysterious House Va'ruun's capital.
The Rev-8 will not only serve as a buggy that you can drive anywhere, it will also come equipped with weapons and jetpacks.
Shattered Space's launch date will reportedly be announced on August 20th. The first planetary vehicle also allegedly arrives this month.
First-party titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Starfield: Shattered Space will also receive theater presentations.
