Starfield

Starfield is Bethesda's space-exploration RPG that launched in September 2023 across Xbox Series X|S and PC, with a PlayStation 5 release following later. The game combines first-person shooter mechanics with role-playing systems and exploration across a vast sci-fi setting.

Recent commentary from former Bethesda developers has cast doubt on the franchise's future. According to departing team members, a sequel appears unlikely given that the original game didn't achieve the commercial performance needed to greenlight another entry. One former developer noted that a follow-up could have moved closer to the team's original vision, though expressed uncertainty about whether it would actually materialize. Despite this pessimism about sequels, Starfield maintains an active player base, with Bethesda continuing to support the base game going forward.
