Summary

  • The Seamless Grav Jump mod hides loading screens in Starfield, making space travel smoother.
  • This comes after space travel disappointed many at launch.
  • Another mod removes the over-the-top music that plays during grav jumps.

When Starfield launched, fans were immediately disappointed to see that space travel wasn't all that they had hoped for. Rather than letting us cruise around seamlessly across the galaxy, going from planet to planet was just a series of loading screens and menus.

Now, one player has done something to address this, managing to hide one of the pesky loading screens. Seamless Grav Jump by Nexus Mods user aDebaser is one of the most popular mods from the past 30 days, and makes space travel a little smoother. With this, the loading screen you'd normally see during a grav jump is completely hidden, making everything feel much faster.

Seamless Grav Jump Mod For Starfield Hides An Irritating Loading Screen

As you can see, it doesn't completely get rid of the game's need to load the next area, but it does a good job of hiding when the loading is happening. There's just a very quick cut to black, and then we're back with a view of space.

This is far from the only mod out there that aims to improve Starfield's space travel. While this is more of a minor gripe, there's another mod that removes that dramatic music that swells whenever you make a jump. Because let's be honest, the magic is lost after a while, and it just gets a bit silly.

This almost definitely won't be the last time that players try to improve this aspect of Starfield too. A recent update recently added official mod support to Starfield, making it easier for fans to create and share what they make. They can even sell their creations on a storefront, but of course, many will always share them for free online via sites like Nexus Mods.

In fact, adding the Creation Club to Starfield in the first place proved controversial. The game fell to mostly negative reviews on Steam and has stayed there since. It remains to be seen if Bethesda can earn back some goodwill.
