Ahead of the Shattered Space Update for Starfield, Bethesda Games has brought about major visual changes to its latest project, Starfield. Adding major lighting changes to the game in its Beta Update, making the game appear more visually pleasing, and adding hints of a more vibe setting atmosphere suited for a game based in a vast galaxy, perfectly matching the tone of its aesthetics. Let’s take a look at some of these changes.
New Lighting Changes
Starfield’s new Steam update comes with drastic changes to its visuals and lighting textures. Many places in the game, like Euphorika and Infinity HQ, are drastically changed with a much moodier vibe. The big takeaway from the update is how Bethesda has focused on toning down the eye-poking visuals in some places where apparently the brightness was set on like 100. The changes added visual warmth and contrast in those areas making the light shine more and appear in a more moody tone.
Furthermore, fans also noticed lighting changes throughout the game at multiple points of interest; this comes right before the grand release of the Shattered Space Update for Starfield, which will have a far more gritty and dark atmosphere.
Why the sudden change of tone
Starfield is one of Bethesda’s most ambitious projects, and the developers plan to support the game for a long time and enhance its longevity. Constant updates to fix the many bugs and glitches have been going out regularly, and now, with this latest Steam update, which has yet to hit the consoles, fans can be assured that the Studio is working hard to make Starfield one of the greatest Space RPGs ever.
Starfield has the blueprint to be a great game, but due to rushing the development and not having enough content to explore, the game feels empty in most places, which is not the case with previous Bethesda titles. Bethesda seems to be laying down the groundwork for future Starfield content, and fans will have to wait and see what the game brings to the table in its next major update.
Comparisons
Below is the comparison between the old version of Starfield and the latest Beta Update on Steam. The changes in some places are noticeably different, with much more focus on setting the general tone of the game in a much darker tone and moody atmosphere. These changes make Starfield more immersive and visually pleasing.
Summary
With the latest update adding major changes to the game and the Shattered Space Update just right around the corner, this is the best time for gamers to dive back into the ever-expanding world of Starfield and enjoy the role-play journey it offers.
