Starfield's June Update wins the game fresh backlash as Steam reviews bomb: "This is not the way"

Starfield.

What you need to know

  • During Sunday's Xbox Games Showcase, a new Starfield trailer for the Shattered Space DLC was shown. Additionally, Starfield's June Update was also released, adding plenty of fixes and a handful of new features to the sci-fi RPG.
  • However, fans on Steam and social media are protesting the addition and prices of paid Creations, with players voicing concerns in highly rated posts and posting roughly 150 negative reviews (and counting) in one day.
  • Currently, many Creations — content mods made by Bethesda or Starfield's community — in the in-game Creations menu cost anywhere from $1-10. Currently, these consist of everything from quests and ship modules to weapons and cosmetic decorations.
  • Many in the community feel that these are additions that players should receive for free, as Starfield's vanilla experience is often criticized for having a lack of engaging content.
