What platforms will the game be available on?
The title will be the first big Xbox exclusive(series S and X) over the last decade. It will also be available on PC, due to Microsoft’s recent acquisition of the Bethesda Games Studios.
In case you’re also wondering why was Bethesda purchased by Microsoft, well, the reason is simple. They are trying to expand the Xbox community and increase game pass sales. Game director Todd Howard said he is feeling a little pressure with Starfield because of this.

Starfield story, gameplay and the world
As you may already know, the game will be an extended open-world RPG, with a space Sci-fi theme. Travelling through space, exploring, fighting, killing and conquering planets are the main attractions, with an emphasis on the exploration part. Why? Read below to find out!
Bethesda has its reputation when it comes to massive open-world RPGs, like the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series. Well, this might be nothing when compared to Starfield. The game will be an entire universe. Yes, an entire universe! Bethesda mentioned it will have over 1000 explorable planets throughout the entire game. While there are a few pre-defined worlds which keep the story going, the rest of them will be procedurally generated. How cool is that?
The game’s story is set during the year 2330, several years after humanity conquered space. The main story revolves around New Atlantis, home of the Constellation and the capital city of the United Colonies.
Starfield begins with an invitation to join the Constellation, which is the last group of space explorers. There are several factions in the universe, but the other big one seems to be the Freestar Collective, headquartered in Akila City.
The game will feature over 150 thousand lines of dialogue, more than any of the previous games developed by the studios. This was revealed during the Tokyo Game Show in 2021. If you follow the story, the game should take about 30-40 hours to get to its ending.
Starfield built crazy hype in its fanbase
Bethesda’s upcoming game is one of the most expected games that are planned to set foot in the stores during 2023. Why is this so? Well, look at the Elder Scroll series, then at the Fallout series. Those are both great titles that delivered what the fans needed.
Now, looking at Starfield the day we live in, the entire story, the feeling we get and what is exactly happening in the game seems like a probable thing to happen in real life many years from now. Who wouldn’t be excited? That being said, we can’t wait to put our hands on the game and explore Bethesda’s Starfield.
