On top of revealing the "top community requested features" coming to Starfield soon, Bethesda has released an update that targets a few "top issues" in the game on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Starfield Update 1.7.29 patch notes

Performance and stability
  • Xbox Series X|S Improved stability related to installations.
  • Various stability and performance improvements to reduce crashes and improve framerate.
Quests
  • All That Money Can Buy: Fixed an issue where player activity could result in a quest blocker.
  • Into the Unknown: Fixed an issue that could prevent the quest from appearing after the game is completed.
  • Shadows in Neon: Fixed an issue where player activity could result in a quest blocker.
As you can see, it is only a small update, but it should make some big changes if you've been running into any crash or framerate issues. The patch notes don't mention anything about the naughty loot puddle, so we'll assume it's safe for now.

The update (which is around 3GB on Xbox Series X) is available to download now, so make sure you install it before you warp back into the space for the rest of those Starfield achievements.
