Bethesda has narrowed down a list of probable causes for player reports of crashes on the recently launched PS5 version of Starfield. A hotfix is currently aimed for release later this week, according to a recent tweet.
Since launch, several players have complained about bugs, crashes, and save file problems that left the game “unplayable”. While we did find the visuals on the console port to be slightly outshone by their PC counterpart, we didn’t encounter any of these issues on PS5 Pro.
Our review was fairly positive of the port, too, and players who’ve been able to sink time into the game like we did have come away relatively happy. Although a cursory glance at the comments in the tweet shows some areas that Bethesda could focus on after the hotfix goes live.
Those include some of the biggest complaints already being discussed, alongside suggestions about tweaks to collectibles, and reports of strange NPC behavior leading to amusingly unintended consequences. There are also questions about Upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution support, although the studio has yet to comment on that.
For our part, we’re hoping that the hotfix gets here as soon as possible so that all players finally get to play a very enjoyable romp through space.
