Bethesda Issues Second Starfield PS5 Crashing Fix, Live Now

Bethesda has released a second hotfix for Starfield on PlayStation 5, addressing ongoing stability and crash issues that have plagued the game on Sony’s console. The new patch builds upon a previous update from the prior week that attempted to fix crashes specific to a single graphics mode on PS5 Pro hardware.

The latest hotfix targets specific crash scenarios, notably fixing a crash that occurred when players viewed the load order menu, along with implementing several other crash and stability improvements. Bethesda announced the update while thanking the community for providing feedback about the PS5-specific technical problems, suggesting the publisher believes many of these issues may now be resolved.

In its official statement, Bethesda indicated that additional updates for the game are planned for the future, though specific details about the scope or timeline were not provided. The company’s wording suggests cautious optimism that the persistent crashing problems affecting PS5 players may be largely addressed following this latest patch, though players will need to verify the improvements in-game.
