The announcement of the Shattered Space expansion and ongoing updates for Starfield by Bethesda, a Microsoft subsidiary, could positively impact Microsoft's stock in the short term. Enhancements and support for the modding community are likely to increase player engagement and satisfaction, potentially boosting the game's sales and, by extension, Microsoft's revenue from its gaming division. The specific mention of improvements based on player feedback and the development of the Starfield Creation Kit highlight Microsoft's commitment to supporting its products post-launch, which could be viewed favorably by investors.
