Starfield’s next update will arrive in beta on March 6th, bringing another suite of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. Top of the list of tweaks is the ability to change player character and companion facial expressions during photo mode, like running your family snaps through FaceApp to create the illusion everyone had fun on their holiday to the Bonneville salt flats.

You could also make you and your companions frown, sneer or gurn, of course.

The updates released in beta forStarfieldso far have typically remained there for a couple of weeks, depending on what kinds of extra bugs have been spotted while they’re in testing.

Last month’sbeta update added support for AMD’s FSR 3. All of these patches are part of Bethesda’s plan to support their spacefaring RPG withnew updates every six weeks or so.

Bigger updates are due to arrive in time, includingnew modes of travel, city maps, and eventually a paid DLC later this year.
