Starfield Players

Starfield has a pretty decent range of clothing for all you fashionistas out there, but every now and then you'll spot an NPC wearing a particularly attractive suit or outfit that puts your own threads to shame. If you were playing Skyrim, you could simply get into your best sneaking position and attempt to undress the person where they stand, but Starfield has no feature that allows you to swipe the clothes that NPCs are wearing. Even murdering them doesn't let you take the clothes off their body.

Over on the No Man's Sky subreddit, fans think they've uncovered a little nod to the game in Starfield. Given how similar the two are - what with you flying across the stars to map procedurally generated planets where you can set up shop and gather resources - an easter egg like this makes sense.

Starfield's community keeps getting smarter with their ship builds—we've had AI-exploiting nightmares made of corners, ladderless flat discs, and some sci-fi classics. But what about the little guys of the universe—pilots who don't want some big, fancy warship with 500 autocannons?

Starfield players are noticing the same – in my humble opinion, creepy – doppelganger kids filling various non-player roles across the RPG's universe.

Starfield has a glitch that allows players to farm a ton of credits in no time.

It's been a morning full of leaks for Xbox. Thanks to its lengthy legal battle with the FTC, we now know about a refreshed Xbox Series X design dubbed "Brooklin", as well as a new controller that might be on the way with precise haptics and modular thumbsticks. 

There's a whole universe to explore in Starfield, quite literally, in fact. But it looks like a good chunk of the game's player base has yet to leave terra firma.

Despite Starfield's popularity, roughly a quarter of Xbox players have yet to actually launch themselves into the game's titular field of stars.

There’s a difference between having an “expansive title” that you can do a lot in and a “meaningful title” where your choices affect everything around you. Those who make open-world RPGs must see how well they can balance those elements to deliver something special for players. Regarding Bethesda’s latest title, Starfield, fans are a bit mixed on where the title falls within those categories. On the one hand, there is a massive universe to explore, and you have the freedom to do certain things, but how the game “reacts” to certain things has caused some players grief.

The Starfield community's ships are giving me some heavy Spore flashbacks. In case that's a game you missed, 2008's Spore was a funky little space-sim with several minigames stacked onto its back-end. 

Over the weekend, Starfield players began to share reports of a strange paranormal infestation. There are asteroids in the game that, for reasons known only to gods and/or programmers, follow you from orbit to orbit, flying eerily in formation with your ship, and sometimes even accompanying you to a planet's surface. "In one of my weirdest Bethesda glitch experiences, I've got a tiny asteroid that's been following me for the past 30 hours," user ReverendRoo posted on Reddit, triggering an avalanche of comments reminiscent of UFO chasers spotting each other at a NASA open day. "I would catch a glimpse of it from time to time," wrote fattfett. "I tried to approach it but you can't. It stays away. I assumed it had a deeper meaning [toward] the endgame." Some players, like Blackdius, have multiple asteroids in tow. It seems impossible to blow them up. I've dug up a Youtube video below of one such clingy space boulder from a couple of weeks back. As you can see, it's not just a fixed background point like a screen artefact, but seems to move in response to the player's ship. Most peculiar.

With around 1000 explorable planets on offer, Starfield is positively bursting with new environments to explore. But some players think they’ve discovered something more familiar: an homage to a classic Halo planet. Kinda. 

Many of us remember a simpler time when wild Skyrim cheese and cabbage physics videos were the best thing on the Internet. The bad news is that you didn’t just wake up from the coma that you had entered after you beat Skyrim. The good news is that Starfield players are bringing that Nostalgia back and making better physics videos than ever before.

It's only been a week since Starfield fully released, but some players have experienced enough to share their tips for others just getting started in the RPG.

Starfield players are encountering yet another bug, but this time, it could be the death of you. 

A YouTuber may have found the quickest way to gain experience and level up in Starfield, and it involves a whole lot of crafting.

Starfield players aren't very impressed with the game's outpost-building mechanic, calling it a big downgrade from the settlement building that was in Fallout 4.

Starfield players have already made some incredibly useful mods, like a fix for the frustrating inventory system or the addition of DLSS support, but they've also added some very silly things like hairy chests, colourful juice boxes, and the lasagne loving cat Garfield.

A few days ago,  we reported on the eerie absence of pets, either dogs or cats, in Starfield. Today, however, we give a different advisory about animals in the game.

Too often in Starfield, the hum of my ship’s engine is drowned out by a sudden flash of explosion. With a crack, my ship falls apart like a Lego toy. This is entirely my fault for a singular reason: I’m a terrible pilot. My shields may have been made of paper. In searching for tips to improve my flying, I found a solution that doesn’t require me getting good — simply create a ship that’s basically unbeatable due to its monstrous design.

While bugs in new games are far from uncommon, Bethesda Game Studios has a certain reputation for them - especially for those that happen to be both harmless and hilarious (there are more than a few compilations of the funniest Skyrim bugs out there). Starfield, while being less buggy than other Bethesda releases, most certainly still has a few, and a lot of them are predictably absurd.

I'm a devout Warlock main in Destiny 2, and my fellow robe enthusiasts and I have a running gag that low-rarity Warlock helmets all look like a diaper strapped to your face, optionally with the class-mandated vertical visor down the middle. I mention this because I'm getting a worryingly similar vibe from Starfield's Mantis armor, which is by far one of the strongest early-game armor sets you can find, but its impressive stats come at the cost of egregious fashion crimes. 

A few things are inevitable in life. Death and taxes, of course. And then there’s Bethesda games having weird, physics-y ways of getting around its systems, as Starfield players are currently doing to steal their way across the galaxy.

Starfield starts with the player acquiring a new spaceship and taking off to explore the stars. There are ways to begin with some real estate — you can start with a home and lots of debt, or go and visit their parents in New Atlantis — but most players just have their ship and a place to crash with the explorers’ society Constellation. As the game opens up, you can then build your own outposts — and some locales are more stunning than others.

Starfield players are a creative bunch, and when they're not filling spaceships full of potatoes or building New Atlantis in Lego, they're using the robust character creator to recreate a bunch of famous faces.

Starfield hasn't been out a week yet but players have already discovered an infinite money exploit that's very similar to that in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Starfield is now available on PC and as an Xbox Series X and S console exclusive, but some players are really trying to pretend it's on PlayStation 5 too.

Starfield is finally here and wannabe astronauts across the globe are finally exploring the Settled Systems in their very own spacecraft. It's been very well received by fans and critics alike, but that doesn't mean there aren't any lacklustre aspects that players wish were a little more fleshed out. For example, a bunch of people have been voicing their disappointment over the game's lack of gore over on the Starfield subreddit.

One could argue that the ability to pause The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim during a dragon battle to shove a few cheese wheels down your gullet for a full heal is immersion breaking, but here at GamesRadar+, we call it tradition. Unfortunately, that tradition appears to be all but dead in Bethesda's latest release, Starfield, according to early impressions from the community as well as our own experience with the game.

All Bethesda RPGs share a common mechanic that never ceases to cause problems for players. Carry weight. Every game is so packed with weapons, armor, and general junk to collect that players hoover it up, and then they’re told they’re over-encumbered and will suffer for their greed.

Starfield players have found a cheeky, sneaky method of getting a killer spacesuit very early on in the game.

Starfield is finally here in its non-'advance access' form and its players are already hard at work. Not hard at work exploring the galaxy or cataloguing the flora and fauna of distant alien worlds, mind you. No, they're hard at work doing the truly important stuff: making celebrities in its character creator before sending them to die in the chilly void of space. Per aspera ad astra.

Having sex in Starfield will give you an XP boost.

Starfield players have started pirating a popular upscaler mod for the game after its creator put it behind a paywall.

Starfield can be an incredibly immersive experience for players who want to take their character from the ground, into their ship’s cockpit, up to space, across the galaxy to another system, and all the way down to another world with very few interruptions. However, some fans want to complete quests as quickly as possible and don’t want to wait.

Starfield fans who purchased the Premium Edition of the game have been playing it for the last four days or so over the weekend ahead of the title’s official launch and release on Game Pass. After the initial slew of posts about how impressed they were by the scope and feel of the game’s universe, fans are starting to touch on more specific, slightly silly issues.

'Go grab me some iron on this barren wasteland of a planet for a few scraps of credits, will ya?' a random NPC asks me while I wander through a science outpost I found in the middle of nowhere. 'Sure thing, pal'. I get into my ship, fly into orbit, and boot up the grav engines for this menial, mundane fetch quest... and then the Starfield theme blares as though I've been sent to free the Settled Systems from their oppressors and uncover the meaning of life.

Starfield is still only out for early adopters, but already players are experimenting with the character creator.

As Starfield players work through the early access period they’re getting to grips with the game’s robust ship creation mechanic — with predictable results.

We all knew that Starfield would have a packed Nexus Mods page in its first week of release, but the dedication of the playerbase is still awe-inspiring. We're only on day three of its early access period and there are already 334 mods uploaded to Nexus at the time of writing. 124 of which were shared today. So, it's no surprise that some of them already centre around the main man himself, the one and only: Todd Howard.

Starfield is a massive game that’s hiding a massive amount of content and tiny, little details beneath its sprawling surface, something that Bethesda Game Studios’ titles always have a knack for doing. And given how vast the game is, it’s safe to say that players are going to be discovering new things both big and small within the space-faring RPG for some time to come.

Ah, Bethesda games. Playing through them the way the devs intended is only half the fun. The other half is bending them to your will with mods and console commands, cheating your way through the open world. So, lo and behold, that's exactly what Starfield players are getting up to already.

The moment at the start of Fallout 3 when you step out into the wasteland blew some minds back in 2008, but Starfield's intro isn't quite having the same effect. The short narrative sequence that casts you as a miner isn't quite as captivating as growing up in a Vault, and the simplified space travel and somewhat dull first hours that follow has players wrestling with one of Bethesda's most divisive opening acts yet.

The true nemesis in all of Bethesda's big RPGs isn't dragons or raiders, it's encumbrance. It's back again in Starfield and your junk collecting habits will not go unpunished. When your personal inventory fills up you can start storing items in your ship cargo hold, but when that fills up too, some folks have just decided to chuck space junk all over their ship as a last ditch effort to never leave any piece of trash behind.

Starfield has launched to great reviews, but early players aren't loving everything about Bethesda's latest RPG. As the early access period kicks off, some fans complain that traversal is more restricted than it was in Fallout 4 and Skyrim, saying that there are too many loading screens and not enough freedom to go wherever you want.

Starfield early access is finally available to everyone with a Premium or Collector's edition, but after such a long wait, a lot of players are bummed to be spending so much time staring at loading screens.

Starfield has just been released for players who have early access. That means we’ll see a lot more content on Starfield featured online over the next few days. But soon, the rest of us will be able to get our hands on the official launch of this Bethesda RPG epic. Still, even with the developers spending years working on this game to ensure it’s about as perfect in their eyes as possible for a launch, fans have chimed in with what they don’t like. Now, it’s not surprising that there are various opinions on what Bethesda could improve on with this game. This RPG was a big undertaking for the company.

Bethesda brought a few content creators over to the US Space and Rocket Center for a unique experience. To prepare for Starfield, they got to play in a real life space camp.

There's no «wrong» way to play big, open-ended RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 or Starfield, but there kind of is, right? At least, there are a lot of opinions on how to have the most fun in these games, and some of them even come from their creators. Larian boss Swen Vincke offered some advice for our first Baldur's Gate 3 playthroughs, and now Bethesda head of publishing Pete Hines has dropped a Starfield tip ahead of the September 1 launch for premium edition owners.

We're still a few weeks away from playing Starfield, but fans have already decided not to trust one of the game's companions. 

In the galaxy of Starfield, player choice reigns supreme. Like in other Bethesda games, what the player chooses to do, or who they choose to side with, will significantly impact how the story unfolds. Because of this dynamic, a new moral dilemma has emerged: fans are divided faster than a warp-speed argument.

Starfield, the highly anticipated action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios, ignites a frenzy in the gaming galaxy once again. The game’s impending release has been a hot topic, especially regarding its available platforms.

Starfield players are continuing a beloved tradition after discovering a typo within the game's latest trailer.
