A Starfield modder added fully functional outposts, and fans hope it's a sign of future DLC.
Starfield is the first new IP from developer Bethesda Game Works in 25 years and has mostly been a hit with players on Xbox Series X/S and PC. The game is massive, letting players warp around the universe in their created spaceship. However, even with how much Bethesda was able to pack into Starfield's final release, it seems that there was quite a bit left on the cutting room floor. One of those things is outposts that function similarly to Fallout 4's settlements.
The mod was first spotted by GamesRadar, who noted that Vex's mod lets players"build their own space stations and truly live the spacefaring fantasy of never touching the ground." As mentioned, the code was already in the game, but Vex says on the mod's NexusMods page,"a few things were broken and just didn't work." Of course, because Vex is running off unfinished Bethesda code, not everything is working perfectly.
Bethesda's DLC Plans for StarfieldThe reason this mod has players thinking it might be a hint at future Starfield DLC is that it seems odd that Bethesda would include the code in the base game if it wasn't actively working to bring it into the game in the future. As mentioned, the team has experience with base building via Fallout 4, so it's not a stretch to imagine it coming to Starfield. We also know that Bethesda plans to support Starfield for years after launch.
We already know that there's at least one big DLC on the table that's likely set for spring 2024. The Shattered Space DLC was included in Starfield's Premium Edition, so we know it's coming at some point. Given Bethesda's usual DLC release schedule with Fallout, we're probably looking at a six-month wait between the base game's release date and its first DLC. As for what it could include, no one really knows.
