The recent update toNo Man’s Skyhas left fans speculating whether Bethesda will follow suit with similar improvements forStarfield. The recent “Worlds Part I” update that Hello Games announced has stunned the community with just how many updates it brings.
The massive update greatly improved planetary generation and added a variety of terrain and foliage to the game. This has led many fans to speculate if the other big space exploration game also get updates to its terrain and foliage generation in future updates.
Hello Games’ Dedication Has Left Starfield Players Hoping
No Man’s Sky‘s transformation over the years has set a high bar for post-launch support and continuous improvement. Hello Games has consistentlyreleased free updates that have vastly improved the game, earning them a dedicated fanbase.
In contrast,Bethesda‘s approach to game updates and expansions has been more conservative, often relying on paid DLC and community mods. This difference in strategy might influence how the company handlesfuture updates for its own space exploration game.
Starfieldhad a mixed reception at launch, leading many to wonder if its creator will adopt a similar approach of ongoing updates to address player feedback and improve the game over time.

Some fans think that the company might focus more on ground transportation, new points of interest, and improvements to space exploration rather than overhauling planet generation.
The success ofHello Gameshas also shown the importance of community engagement and long-term support in the gaming industry. Fans have praised Hello Games for their dedication and transparency, leading to a more positive perception of the game.
It’s Unlikely That The Competition Comes Up With a Similar Update
One of the biggest features of the update that Hello Games released is the Starship Fabricator. This allows players to build and customize their ships with complete freedom. This is troubling since it wasthe unique selling points that the more recent space explorershad.
With Hello Games now offering a similar feature in its game, the competition may need to improvise to keep players engaged and differentiate their game in the competitive space exploration genre.

The financial stability of Bethesda compared to Hello Games also plays a role in this discussion. While Hello Games had to continually improve its game to regain its reputation and market position, its competitor can rely on its established franchises to get sales.
Whether Hello Games’ effort gets replicated is entirely unknown, but we can only hope so. The example Hello Games has set is an inspiring blueprint for ongoing game development and community support.
