Starfield Steam beta has Digipick changes, photo mode upgrades, and hundreds of bug fixes

Just as promised, Bethesda has pushed out a new update to the beta branch of Starfield. Steam players can now update to this build to try out the latest changes, which includes a massive list of bug fixes as well.

One of the highlights of this update is a change to how Digipicks work when lockpicking. Players will find that undoing a move during the lockpicking Security Mini-game will no longer use up a Digipick, making it an easier and cheaper task. Photomode is also getting an upgrade, with Expressions and Poses for the player and companions being available for taking snaps across the universe.

Here are the main features of this beta:

• PHOTOMODE: Added the ability to set Expressions and Poses on player and companions in Photomode.
• SCANNER: You can now open doors and harvest with the scanner opened.
• Setting course on an inactive quest will now make it the active quest.
• Added support for adjusting FOV when using 3rd Person Ship view.
• Added an Anisotropic filtering quality slider (PC).
• Removed the digipick cost for using Undo during the Security mini-game.
• Added an autosave when fast travelling from a planet's surface to orbit.
• Updated the Ship UI to perform more smoothly at higher framerates.

Over 500 bug fixes are included in the beta this time:
