It took eight months, but Starfield is finally getting proper surface maps in the RPG's largest update since launch

Starfield.

It's been a long time coming, but Bethesda's enormous space-exploration RPG Starfield is finally getting an overhaul to its surface maps, after the ones it launched with left plenty to be desired. 

From launch, if you opened Starfield's map when in a city, you'd be greeted by nothing but a blue background covered in dots, with a few markers here and there in a lackluster attempt to point you in the right direction. Needless to say, the existing maps are hardly the most helpful things to look at if you're feeling lost, and players have been calling for changes ever since the RPG launched into early access. Thankfully, last December it was confirmed that this would be addressed, and Bethesda has now revealed that the updated surface maps are included as part of the game's massive May update, which is set to be the "largest update since launch."
