Starfield's Free Lanes Update Expands with Terran Armada, New Gear and Cruise Control

Starfield's Free Lanes update is the game’s biggest in over a year, adding free content across platforms (including PS5) and tying into the paid Terran Armada expansion, which brings a new questline, locations and crewmates. The free patch revamps gear with X-Tech crafting and legendary modifiers, adds 20+ weapons and armor pieces, introduces the Moon Jumper vehicle, the Chateau Des Etoiles house, and Milliwhale the new pet, plus Anchorpoint and other new POIs. A new Action Figures system grants passive bonuses, and Cruise Control lets you autopilot to destinations while you tend to your ship, with Terran Armada offering substantial extra content for a $10 upgrade for non-Premium players.

Starfield’s Incursions Unleash the Terran Armada Across the Settled Systems

Bethesda’s Free Lanes update and Terran Armada DLC add a new faction and Incursion battles that can turn locations into combat zones across the Settled Systems, with some incursions story-driven and others optional. A new Cruise mechanic lets players roam systems without load screens, while certain incursions disable fast travel until defeated. Rewards like X-Tech await those who explore and tackle both large vessels and smaller encounters, and the events are designed to be revisited to test new gear and builds. The content arrives April 7.

Todd Howard: TES6 Announcement Should Have Stayed Hidden

Todd Howard says announcing The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018 was not his preference and jokes that fans should pretend it doesn’t exist; he explains he’s cautious about early reveals and notes past releases like Fallout 4 and Starfield show Bethesda’s evolving approach, aiming to return TES6 to the studio’s classic style with few details until it’s playable.

Howard praises DLSS 5 in Starfield amid mixed reception

NVIDIA's DLSS 5, set to arrive on RTX 50-series this fall, has sparked backlash for reportedly AI-driven facial tweaks in games, but Bethesda's Todd Howard says DLSS 5 “brought Starfield to life” when tested. The tech is said to enhance lighting and environment without altering textures, though critics warn it can homogenize NPC appearances into an uncanny look. Digital Foundry notes it doesn’t touch game assets, while developers can tweak DLSS 5 per title, leaving its broad adoption still uncertain.
