The game also offers a variety of powers and abilities, further enriching the gameplay. It remains to be seen whether future DLCs will introduce new abilities.

Future Updates and Information

The absence of a specific release date and detailed information on content means that much remains speculative at this time. Nevertheless, the information provided by Todd Howard and IGN lends some weight to the anticipation. As we await more concrete news, one thing is clear: future DLCs for Starfield are not just a possibility—they are a certainty.


For those yet to dive into the world of Starfield, the game is available on PC and Xbox via the Xbox Game Pass. If you are new to the subscription service, an Xbox gift card can provide you with easy access.
