The developers of Starfield are said to be working on the major Update 2.0, which is supposed to completely revise the space game. A critic now explains what he knows about it.
What can we expect from Starfield 2.0? With Update 2.0 of Starfield, the game is supposed to be significantly revised, bringing new features and fundamentally overhauled systems into the game, at least that’s the rumor, as an official confirmation from the developers is still pending.
Actually, fans were already expecting this big update in 2025, as “exciting things” were announced for the year. A first piece of evidence for the existence of the update is now presented by a YouTuber who has seen the update.
Modifying Starfield is also possible with mods:
Update 2.0 Lives
What does the YouTuber explain? Gene Park, video game critic from the Washington Post, was the guest on the “Defining Duke” podcast recently. The experts also talked about Starfield 2.0. Video game critic Gene Park took the opportunity to say: “I’m very excited for Starfield 2.0, whenever that may be.”
However, the excitement for the update does not come from nowhere. The critic claims that he has not yet played the game, and that the official information about the update is unknown to him, but that YouTuber MrMattyPlays has confirmed the existence of the update.
In the podcast, MrMattyPlays says: “The way Bethesda is handling [Starfield] 2.0 is strange […] I’ve seen it behind closed doors; they said: ‘You can’t talk about this, [but] you can say that you have seen it.’ I was like: Ok? They didn’t give us a release date or anything, so I have no idea [when it will be released].”
The update and the existence of Starfield 2.0 are thus likely confirmed, even if Bethesda remains silent for now.
When is the update coming? According to rumors, Starfield 2.0 is also expected to follow the release on PS5. Some even believe that the developers are working on a release for the Switch 2. However, whether these ideas will actually materialize remains open.
A release, possibly as early as spring 2026, also remains in the stars. Without official confirmation from the developers, only the word of the few who have already seen the update remains, and the chance that it may never be released.
With Starfield 2.0, the developers could re-emphasize their role-playing game, provided that the update actually releases and fundamentally improves the game again. However, there are still more open questions than real answers. For those who want to improve Starfield themselves until then, here’s a good idea: A free mod finally makes Starfield the game that fans always wanted, but not everyone can play it
