Meet the REV-8 land vehicle

The REV-8 land vehicle is available in Starfield today as part of a new and free update that lets you drive around a Bethesda open world in a land vehicle for the first time ever.

It's also worth noting that this isn't just Starfield's first land vehicle; it's the first drivable land vehicle in any Bethesda game ever. Better yet: it doesn't just drive, it also comes equipped with jetpacks that let you hover around and weapons to aid in combat.

The buggy is just the refresher Starfield needed to keep players engaged until the Shattered Space DLC. Oh, and that got a release date at the end of the new trailer. Shattered Space will take Starfield players to an abandoned star station on September 30.

Kid Stuff is by far the best trait in Starfield, even if it did lead to a deeply embarrassing encounter in a nightclub.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
