These new prices will also apply to <strong>Xbox and PC versions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis has been a collaborative process with our community,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly grateful for everyone who\u2019s stuck with us, shared ideas, and encouraged the team to continue to grow and refine Starfield.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than overhaul the game entirely, Bethesda is focused on refining and expanding its core experience. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to reinvent the game,\u201d Lamb added. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to build on what\u2019s there, highlight what\u2019s great, and expand where we can bring more fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"a-growing-universe-built-with-players\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Growing Universe Built With Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bethesda emphasized that <em>Starfield<\/em>\u2019s evolution has been shaped heavily by community feedback since launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStarfield has grown a bit since then, and that growth has been shaped by what players have told us,\u201d said Lamb. According to Lamb, the team has implemented hundreds of fixes, new features, and gameplay improvements based on player input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early community requests led to additions such as surface maps, expanded display settings, DLSS and FSR support, and numerous quality-of-life improvements. Hundreds of fixes, gameplay tweaks, and new systems have already been added over multiple patches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re not trying to reinvent the game,\u201d Lamb said during the presentation. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to build on what\u2019s there, highlight what\u2019s great, and expand where we can bring more fun.\u201d The upcoming updates continue that philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"free-lanes-a-new-way-to-explore-space\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Lanes: A New Way to Explore Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sirusgaming.com\/starfields-freelanes-update-changes-how-you-travel-space\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/sirusgaming.com\/starfields-freelanes-update-changes-how-you-travel-space\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free Lanes update<\/a><\/strong> is the largest update to <em>Starfield<\/em> yet, introducing deeper exploration systems and new ways to experience space travel. Instead of jumping from planet to planet through menus, Free Lanes lets you actually move through space within a star system. It turns travel into gameplay rather than just a transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlayers wanted to take more control of space between planets,\u201d Lamb explained. \u201cSo we added the ability to cruise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Starfield Free Lanes Screenshot - Cruise Mode\" class=\"wp-image-227498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-2048x1153.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-1200x676.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Cruise-Mode-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the headline features is <strong>Cruise Mode<\/strong>, which lets you fly between planets manually at different speed levels. You can boost to reach your destination faster or take your time and see what\u2019s out there. And it is not just about getting from point A to point B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While cruising, players can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Walk around their ship while it travels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interact with crew and companions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage inventory and equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decorate interiors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Track travel progress using onboard navigation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While traveling, players can move freely inside their ship, interact with companions, manage gear, and prepare for upcoming encounters. \u201cBut being in the Free Lanes isn\u2019t just about getting there,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cIt\u2019s about living a life on your ship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free Lanes also adds dynamic encounters during travel. You might come across anomalies, wreckage, enemy ships, or random events that pull you back into gameplay. It adds unpredictability to space, which was something players had been asking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Q&amp;A, Lamb explained that Free Lanes is not meant to replace the way players already move through the game, but to offer a different pace. Players who want to jump straight into missions can still do that, but those who prefer to slow down and explore will now find more happening between destinations. He described it as \u201ca different way to play,\u201d adding that players can take their time and run into new encounters or distractions while traveling through space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"new-weapon-customization-system\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Weapon Customization System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free Lanes introduces <strong>XTech<\/strong>, a new resource designed to significantly expand weapon and gear customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cXTech gives us a lot of ability to customize particular attributes of a weapon,\u201d Lamb said. Using XTech, players can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add legendary modifiers to weapons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install upgrade modules<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re-roll weapon perks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upgrade weapons to higher rarity tiers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weapons can now reach <strong>Legendary Rank 4<\/strong>, adding powerful gameplay effects. Some of the new perks include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Kismet<\/strong> \u2013 Chance to triple magazine size after reloading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bloodthirsty<\/strong> \u2013 Killing enemies restores health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saboteur<\/strong> \u2013 Chance to instantly destroy robots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reckless<\/strong> \u2013 Massive damage boost with reduced magazine size<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players can also upgrade weapons beyond the original rarity tiers, allowing them to push gear even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe wanted to give players a way to customize how they want to play the game more,\u201d Lamb explained. Importantly, XTech is not limited to endgame content, appearing in boss encounters and exploration rewards throughout the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"new-vehicle-moon-jumper\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Vehicle: Moon Jumper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update also expands exploration with new locations, dungeons, and points of interest across different planets. There is also a new vehicle called the <strong>Moon Jumper<\/strong>, designed to make planetary traversal more flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Starfield Free Lanes Screenshot - Moon Jumper\" class=\"wp-image-227496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfield-Moon-Jumper-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Moon Jumper, a new exploration vehicle that leans heavily into mobility and freedom. Unlike standard vehicles, this one is built around powerful boost capabilities that let you reach higher terrain and cover uneven landscapes much more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the demo, Tim Lamb highlighted how the Moon Jumper can gain significant elevation, to the point where it &#8220;almost feels like flying&#8221;. It is not a true flight system, but the extended boost and airtime make it ideal for navigating cliffs, rocky environments, and wide open areas that would normally slow you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes it stand out even more is how you actually get it. Instead of simply purchasing it like other vehicles, the Moon Jumper is tied to exploration. Players can discover it at a specific point of interest, reinforcing the update\u2019s overall push to reward curiosity and exploration across planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, it is not just a utility tool. Lamb also pointed out that it is simply fun to use, whether you are trying to reach hard-to-access areas or just driving around open terrain. It fits neatly into the broader goal of the Free Lanes update, which is to make movement and exploration feel more dynamic and engaging rather than just a means to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ship-customization-and-upgrades-outposts-and-exploration\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ship Customization and Upgrades, Outposts, and Exploration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update also introduces major improvements to ships and outposts. Free Lanes expands starship gameplay with new ship modules and optimization systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players can now enhance ships with new modules and optimization systems using XTech as well. &#8220;We wanted to add more ways to improve and customize spaceships,\u201d Lamb said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

shared storage systems, a highly requested addition. \u201cThis has been a huge request from the fans,\u201d Lamb noted, referring to the new shared outpost container, which allows players to access inventory across multiple bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update also adds new points of interest and exploration content across planets. \u201cWe really wanted to encourage players to get out there and explore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New additions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shared Outpost

unexpected additions is the <strong>Millie Whale Pet<\/strong>, which you can unlock through a quest in the Free Lanes update.

Players can now easily find materials, track crafting requirements, and navigate directly to planets that contain specific resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team also addressed feedback around repetition in planetary content. According to Lamb, Bethesda has adjusted how points of interest are distributed and added more variety, encouraging players to explore and discover new locations more organically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"starborn-and-new-game-plus-improvements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starborn and New Game Plus Improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free Lanes also changes how players interact with <em>Starfield<\/em>\u2019s New Game Plus system. A new <strong>Quantum Entanglement Device<\/strong> allows players to store certain items before entering the Unity so they can retrieve them in the next universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to dissuade players from engaging in becoming Starborn,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cBut we also didn\u2019t want to ask them to leave everything behind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quantum Essence now has additional uses, including upgrading Starborn powers directly without repeating temple runs.

While Bethesda is keeping most of the story details under wraps, the <strong>Terran Armada DLC<\/strong> was presented as a more combat-focused experience built around tougher enemies and high-intensity encounters. Tim Lamb described it as a smaller story expansion, but from what was shown, it still introduces meaningful changes to how combat plays out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Starfield Terran Armada Screenshot - Terran Robots\" class=\"wp-image-227494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starfielf-Terran-Armada-Robots.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the demo, enemies were shown with new modifiers that make them more unpredictable and dangerous. Some had the ability to avoid damage, while others could trigger effects that strengthened nearby enemies when defeated. It adds a layer of challenge that goes beyond simply increasing enemy health, making encounters feel more dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DLC also introduces new weapons and gear, including the multi-gun platform and an energy-based SMG, both of which were used during the gameplay segment. Lamb also showcased a Terran Armada ship that had been commandeered, confirming that players will be able to capture and use enemy ships as part of their progression. In fact, capturing ships appears to be one of the most direct ways to expand your fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mission shown followed a more structured sequence, with the player infiltrating a facility, fighting through waves of enemies, securing a keycard, and triggering a reactor overload before escaping. While only a small slice was shown, it gives a clear idea of the kind of gameplay the DLC is aiming for, blending combat, objectives, and a sense of urgency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even without full story details, the Terran Armada DLC comes across as a more action-driven addition that complements the broader systems introduced in Free Lanes, giving players new reasons to engage with the world and test the limits of their gear and builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Q&amp;A, Lamb also revealed that the Free Lanes update and Terran Armada DLC were designed to work together. The Terran Armada introduces incursions across star systems, with technology that can prevent players from grav jumping within certain areas. As a result, players are pushed to travel through space using the new Free Lanes systems to reach and deal with these threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lamb explained that Free Lanes and Terran Armada were designed to support each other, with new enemy incursions forcing players to travel through space rather than relying solely on fast travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-future-of-starfield\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Future of Starfield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, Bethesda confirmed that <em>Starfield<\/em> will continue to receive long-term support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While no future updates were announced, Lamb noted that the team still has plenty of ideas and content they want to explore within the game\u2019s universe. \u201cWhen we launch a game, we always plan to support it for a number of years,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot more in the lore\u2026 things we still want to pursue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the Free Lanes update, Terran Armada DLC, and the PlayStation 5 launch arriving together, <em>Starfield<\/em> is entering a new phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Lamb put it: \u201cThe goal is to add depth, fun, and opportunities for players to express themselves, not turn the game into something entirely different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Free Lanes<\/strong> <strong>update, Terran Armada DLC, and PlayStation 5 version of <em>Starfield <\/em>all launch April 7, 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got an early look at Starfield\u2019s biggest update yet\u2014Free Lanes, Terran Armada, and the PS5 Launch.
