Bethesda is back again with yet another round of beta updates for Starfield, though don’t expect anything major this time around, as Starfield Beta Update 1.8.87 has a rather light changelog. 

Starfield Beta Update 1.8.87 Patch Notes:

A small update is now available for our PC players to opt into on Steam before the update goes live for all Xbox and PC players. This update addresses an issue where players could experience an asteroid “Adoring Fan” during space travel and an issue with Outposts.

If you would like to opt-in to the Starfield Beta update, please follow these instructions

1. Open your steam Library and navigate to Starfield
2. Right click on “Starfield” and select “Properties”
3. In the new properties pop-up window, select “Betas”
4. In the beta drop down to opt into, select “[beta]”
5. Wait for app to download new build and launch

For those participating and interested in providing us feedback, please visit #steam-beta-feedback on our official Discord Server.

Thanks for playing!

FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS

Gameplay

• Addressed an issue that would cause space matter to become stuck to player’s ship during space travel. Loading a save will now remove the space clingon. Please note: This fix should address any space matter being stuck in your travels, but not in instances where player ships have New Atlantis attached. A fix for that will be released in a later update.

Outpost

• Fixed an issue that prevents random guns from spawning in a newly created Weapon Case after loading a save.

Like I said, a light changelog, though not surprising considering Starfield got a significant update last week which saw some features added like DLSS support, and the ability to eat food out in the world, amongst other things. 

There could be more planned for this update, and we’ll have the full changelog once the update is officially out.
