The REV-8, a new land cruiser that will allow Starfield players to explore the game’s many planets without having to walk or sprint endlessly on foot, will be available tonight as part of a free update for the space-faring RPG that includes several other improvements, including a fix for Frame Generation on PC and new Xbox Series S display settings to mirror those that can be found on Xbox Series X, Bethesda has announced. Shattered Space, Starfield’s first major expansion, will also be available on September 30, 2024, per a separate update that Bethesda shared today as part of its Gamescom 2024 announcements.
Bethesda on the new vehicle:
- “Visit your favorite city’s ship technician to install a vehicle module and you’re good to go!”
- “Once you have the module in your ship of choice, the REV-8 will automatically deploy right outside your ship wherever you land.”
- “You can even show off your personal style by customizing the REV-8 with unique colors.”
- “The REV-8 is equipped with a powerful mounted turret as well as armor for additional protection when driving.”
- “Your boosters can help get you out of a sticky situation quickly, but they’re not just forward boosters… you can also hit the boosters to add some jump to your ride, letting you sail through the air and reach areas that would have previously been much tougher to get to.”
A look at the REV-8 in action, including a trailer for Shattered Space:
