The next major update for Starfield is scheduled to enter the beta phase on Steam this week and the useful innovations have already been welcomed by fans, although many are apparently looking for completely new content. Now, Bethesda has surprisingly announced the release of a small hotfix patch via the short message service X, which has already been deployed.
According to the developers, the individual mini-update is intended to fix a problem that occasionally leads to certain quests being deactivated and players then being unable to continue these quest series. There is no more detailed information, but it actually sounds like a comparatively urgent bug fix that makes a hotfix useful, although you might not necessarily expect such bugs so long after the release.
