There will be full PSSR support for both the PS5 and its Pro counterpart, which will target better graphics and performance simultaneously. You can also expect haptic feedback support when using the default controller. The Free Lanes update will be available across all platforms. It will aim at wholesale changes and improvements to exploration, combat, and other areas. You'll be able to find a new resource called X-Tech, which can be used to improve your equipment. The inventory management and outposts will also change as part of the update. You can also spend extra to get the Terran Armada DLC. This paid expansion will be themed around advanced robots who are about to thwart your plans. You'll need to use the Incursions system to fight against them. We will know more about all the content once the DLC becomes available, but it is guaranteed to feature new tech and companions, among other things. It will be interesting to find out if the new content could rekindle interest in the Starfield community.
