“Two Neon street rats, Ada and Harper, are partners in crime eking out a living stealing from the wealthy partygoers that come to the ‘pleasure city’ to let loose. When Ada is forced into a moral dilemma, she quickly catches the attention of the all-seeing Ryujin Industries, bringing her an exciting new opportunity. But at what cost?”
Following two publicly announced delays, Starfield is scheduled for release on September 6 for Xbox Series X/S and PC, but that wouldn’t be the case if it was also being developed for PS5, Bethesda recently claimed.
“Focusing on fewer platforms has been a big benefit to that team,” Bethesda publishing boss Pete Hines said in July. Being on more platforms would mean “it’s going to take longer, it’s going to cost more. It’s just a far greater risk in my mind.”
Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty told Giant Bomb in June that if Starfield were released then, it “would already have the fewest bugs of any Bethesda game ever shipped”.

I've been bolting together some ideas for a longer Starfield feature and while plying the sliplanes of Reddit, stumbled on this conversation about the game's handling of time. As many of you will know/be very weary of hearing, Starfield features hundreds of planets, together with moons and space stations, scattered around the galaxy in different solar systems. Real-life planets, of course, aren't fixed points: they rotate and orbit their stars at the different speeds, depending on their mass and distance, which means that days, nights and seasons have different durations.

Today a new tweet from the official Starfield Twitter account highlights one deadly enemy you don’t want to be caught off guard with.
