Starfield's New Landing Mod Just Reopened a 4-Year-Old Debate

Starfield players may soon be able to experience one of the most immersive parts of space exploration—without leaving their ship. A new PC mod by Frederick Wessberg, called "Seamless Landings," aims to let players travel from orbit to a planet's surface without a single loading screen. The work-in-progress Starfield mod even allows players to walk around their ship during the descent, manually pilot it toward the surface, and witness atmospheric effects such as volumetric clouds, thunderstorms, and reentry heat.
