Update 1.8.86 for Starfield has officially arrived and, in addition to bringing Nvidia DLSS support to the masses, it includes a new mechanic that’ll let you immediately consume every food or drink item you come across.
Yes, that’s right, get ready to embrace your inner Homer Simpson and race through the Settled Systems with your mouth agape, swallowing up all manner of snacks and beverages like some kind of human Pac-Man. Do be careful though, as stomach bugs aren’t on the list of fixes included in the update.
As outlined in its patch notes, 1.8.86’s additions include the introduction of the ability to eat an item via a prompt that’ll seemingly pop up as soon as you look at it, rather than having to take it into your inventory and scarf it down via a menu. Woo, Immersion!
