Online information regarding the day-one patch has been leaked. The patch details for the upcoming update to Starfield were made public by Insider Gaming ahead of the start of early access on September 1.

The update, known as Starfield 1.7.23, is said to improve the game’s performance and contain a number of gameplay fixes. A virtual keyboard will also be included in the patch for players of the upcoming space RPG on the Steam Deck. It is said that the upcoming patch would be 15 GB.
Insider Gaming also obtained a paper that outlines Starfield’s compatibility with mobile devices. According to the document, “Starfield will run on both the SteamDeck and the ROG Ally with the correct drivers, but the performance may suffer on the hardware below the recommended minimum specs.”
