Bethesda games like Skyrim and Fallout are known for being epic open world RPGs and for being a bit buggy, but these smaller issues in Starfield also allowed the game to be so grand according to one developer.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Speaking to GI.biz<\/a>, head of global publishing Pete Hines said making a smaller, cleaner game is always an option for Bethesda but the studio instead chooses to push the limits of what’s possible, accepting the game might burst at the seams a little as a result.<\/p>\n

“We embrace chaos,” Hines said. “We could make a safer, less buggy, less risky game if we wanted to. But what we try to lean into is player freedom.<\/p>\n

“Yes, there’s going to be some little things here and there where your companion might stand a little too close to you sometimes. Yet the freedom you get, and the things that happen because of that, we absolutely love and embrace.<\/p>\n

“Of course there are bugs. But does it take away from your experience? Or do you have a consistent, fun game that you just can’t stop playing and experimenting with?”<\/p>\n

Starfield launched into early access today, September 1, ahead of its full launch on September 6. The game does run well on all platforms, including the Xbox Series S<\/a>, but lacks some features like DLSS support<\/a> and a field of view slider (that players have already modded in<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In our 7\/10 review<\/a>, IGN said: “Starfield has a lot of forces working against it, but eventually the allure of its expansive roleplaying quests and respectable combat make its gravitational pull difficult to resist.”<\/p>\n
