What all is in the day one patch for Starfield? The game was released in early access with some major issues that affected gameplay. Now that the full release is out, there is a patch to cover for the release of the game. Quests were bugged and there were some crashes. Above all else, the game needed some major stability fixes.
Maybe you noticed that some of the companions were bugged or perhaps you got stuck while trying to dock onto a ship. The latest patch notes seem to fix all of this as there were many issues that were addressed for the launch of the game on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
Unfortunately, the day one patch did not add a hardcore mode like many fans asked for. At least it should be easier to smuggle your goods through space now. Here are all the Starfield day one patch 1.7.23.0 notes.
