Pour one out for Starfield's 'pet rock' bug, now patched thanks to a new update

Starfield.

What you need to know

  • A new update has been released for Starfield that fixes one of the game's most common bugs.
  • Specifically, the patch has solved a "pet rock" issue that caused trees, containers, and most commonly, asteroids, to trail the player's ship whenever they flew through space.
  • Existing "pet rocks" will be removed the next time players load their save after downloading the update.
  • The patch also fixed an issue preventing loot from spawning in Weapon Cases, as well as a problem specific to the Xbox version of the game that was causing crashes during long playthroughs.
