Overview
- The PS5 version, which went live Tuesday at 8 a.m. PT, arrived alongside the Free Lanes patch for all platforms and the Terran Armada story add-on.
- Free Lanes adds in-system flight via a new cruise mode, X-Tech crafting to tweak legendary gear, more points of interest, and major upgrades to ships and outposts.
- Terran Armada costs $9.99, is included with the Premium Edition or Premium Upgrade, and introduces a robotic enemy force, a companion robot named Delta, and a repeatable incursion system.
- On PlayStation, Standard costs $49.99 and Premium $69.99, and Bethesda touts DualSense haptics, trophies, SSD optimizations, and PS5 Pro modes using PSSR upscaling to target 60 fps or boost 4K visuals.
- The release expands a onetime Xbox/PC exclusive to PS5 after a 2023 debut criticized for static travel and sparse exploration, with Bethesda pitching today’s update as a more interactive, evolved experience.
