A Farewell to Pet Rocks: Starfield Update Removes Entertaining Bug
Hey there, fellow space explorers! If you’ve been journeying through the cosmos in Starfield, you might be familiar with the infamous pet rock bug that has been bringing joy to players since the game’s launch. These adorable little space rocks have a habit of getting caught in your ship’s orbit and joining you on your travels. Some players ended up with a single unexpected companion, while others found themselves trailed by entire asteroid families. It was quite a sight!
But hold on to your warp drives, because the latest update, version 1.8.88, from Bethesda aims to bid farewell to our beloved pet rocks. In the patch notes, Bethesda states that they have “addressed an issue that would cause space matter to become stuck to the player’s ship during space travel.” So, it seems like our little buddies will no longer hitch a ride on our spaceships. Farewell, dear pet rocks!
However, if the matter that has attached itself to your ship happens to be the entirety of New Atlantis, you’re in luck! Bethesda has promised a fix for this particular bug in a future update. So, you’ll get to keep your massive asteroid friend for a bit longer. Talk about a cosmic companion!
Crashes and Weapon Cases: Other Fixes in the Update
Aside from bidding adieu to our pet rocks, the update also brings fixes for a couple of other issues. Players using versions of the game from the Xbox and Microsoft stores have been experiencing crashes while saving during long playthroughs. But fear not, as Bethesda has now addressed this problem. You can now explore the cosmos without worrying about unexpected crashes ruining your interstellar adventures.
Additionally, the update tackles a bug that was preventing random guns from spawning in newly created weapon cases after loading a save. So, now you can rest easy knowing that your arsenal will be fully stocked and ready for any extraterrestrial encounters.
Rock Solid Companions: Some Pet Rocks Still Hang Around
Now, before you hold a funeral for your asteroid friends, there have been reports from a couple of players on Reddit that their pet rocks are still hanging around even after applying the update. So, don’t give up hope just yet! Your faithful space companions might still be by your side, defying the odds.
And hey, if you’re looking for more excitement in the vastness of space, why not try out a Starfield mod that lets you become a professional ship designer? Imagine crafting your very own spacecraft to conquer the cosmos. It’s like having your own game within a game!

Conclusion: Embrace the Adventures Ahead
As we bid farewell to our pet rocks in Starfield, let’s remember the joy they brought to our interstellar journeys. While it’s sad to see them go, it’s all part of the ever-evolving gaming experience. Just like in games, where challenges arise and are overcome, the world of cybersecurity presents its own set of obstacles.
Just as we adapt and strategize in gaming, it’s essential to stay one step ahead when it comes to protecting ourselves online. Cybersecurity threats may not be as cute as pet rocks, but they can be just as persistent and disruptive. By being aware of the latest threats and equipping ourselves with the right tools, we can navigate the digital landscape with confidence.
So, fellow gamers, let’s embark on new adventures, both in our virtual worlds and in the realm of cybersecurity. Stay vigilant, stay curious, and keep gaming!
