Land Vehicles Are Finally Coming To Starfield, But We Don’t Know When They’ll Arrive
Starfield’s recently announced May Update–an enormous update full of quality-of-life improvements–is set to go live on May 15, but it’s far from the only thing Starfield fans have to look forward to. In a YouTube video highlighting the new update, Bethesda also revealed that another long-awaited feature is finally in the works: a vehicle that will allow players to drive across the surface of the game’s 1,000+ planets.
“The team is working on our first land vehicle, so you can drive around on planets,” lead creative producer Tim Lamb revealed near the end of the video. “Obviously, we’re [also] working on more quests and the massive Shattered Space expansion.”
Starfield launched in September 2023 with no vehicles (or alien mounts) available for players to make use of when traversing the game’s many planets. At the time, game director Todd Howard indicated that Boost Packs–jetpack-like devices that can be found throughout the game–should be enough to get players where they want to go.
