Starfield mods to get official Bethesda support in 2024

You can find a lot of different mods for Starfield already, adding everything from stormtroopers to support for Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling system. Mods like this would normally be viewed as a deluge by most gamers. But Starfield is a Bethesda Game Studios game, which means it’s more like the calm before the storm.

Bethesda is enthusiastic in its support of the mod community (the studio even hired the creator of “clutter mods” for Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls 5To clutter up some Starfield’s lived-in environments), and the feeling is more than mutual.

Fallout 4 It took six months for Creation Kit to be released. It’s possible Starfield’s Creation Kit might take a little longer, since Starfield runs on a new version of Bethesda’s in-house game engine: Creation Engine 2.

Not a surprise, then, but good to know that it’s coming — especially since this will most likely mean mods becoming available for players on Xbox, too.
