A Starfield player pushing the game to its limit has shown off what the RPG looks like when you really start to play with the Starfield stealth and powers systems.
In a recent Tiktok, user BenWinters starts by busting open a door, turning invisible, and then lobbing a mine at a nearby spacer. While the explosive arms, they swing for the enemy at the other end of the room, dropping them with a couple of headshots, before using their Starfield powers to push the mine and the Spacer together, triggering the detonation.
Not one to bask in their success for more than a moment, however, they're off and running, detecting the outlines of other nearby enemies and dropping three in quick succession with a combination of silenced pistol shots and deadly katana swings. More foes fall before Winters starts playing with their food, tapping their final enemy on the shoulder before blasting them to the floor and filling their helmet with lead.
In a second clip, they're taking enemies out while parkouring all over an outpost, shooting and slicing their way through their foes at terrifying speed. It's enough to draw plenty of comparisons to a very different game - Dishonored.
Arkane's immersive sim series makes plenty of use of powers and parkour to let expert players carve their way through entire levels like a ghostly assassin. For most people, Starfield is not that game, but it's not hard to see why players are finding the comparison pretty easy to draw - multiple comments on Tiktok reference Dishonored, though some are simply surprised to find evidence of those powers.
On Reddit, players are explaining just how all these tools come together. As well as those powers, it's clear they're making use of the Starfield stealth skill's affinity for silenced pistols, as well as Chameleon, an ability available as part of some armor sets and at rank three of the concealment skill, that lets you turn invisible. Add to that the likely consumption of several power-boosting consumables to let them re-cast their abilities extremely quickly, and it's clear that BenWinters has really perfected their Starfield build.

Starfield stores some of its most intriguing riches and best loot behind locked doors, which require a futuristic lockpick known as a digipick to open. But what if you need practice at the mechanic, but you don’t want to burn through your store of valuable digipicks? Or what if you’re on the go, and you yearn for the simple joy of unlocking a space door? Afan named BB-dev created an open source digipick simulator to scratch that itch.
In time-honoured Bethesda game tradition, Starfield players are using objects found in the game world to play Dominoes.
Starfield update 1.7.33 has arrived with a small cargo load of performance and stability improvements, as well as an economy-saving exploit fix that cheesy players will be less happy to see.
The biggest fast food chain in Starfield’s vast universe is called Chunks, a company that renders every food item you can think of into a literal cube. One fan has now made the valiant effort of recreating “almost” every item on the Chunks menu in real life.
During the E3 presentation in 2018, Bethesda took to the stage and teased an open-world RPG set in space and called it Starfield. It would be the first IP developed by Bethesda in over 25 years. After years of anticipation, the developer finally launched Starfield on September 6 exclusively for the Microsoft Xbox and Windows. Despite not even one month elapsing since it was launched, Starfield is already being lauded as the game of the year by many, with high critic scores and rave reviews from players.
Starfield patch 1.7.29 is live in the game alongside word from Bethesda about upcoming player-requested features in the space RPG game. With Starfield mods already attempting to fill in the gaps on issues like Nvidia DLSS support and an in-game FOV slider, it’s great to see Bethesda promise to deliver these itself.

I like a good Star Destroyer or X-Wing as much as the next guy, and while there've been great renditions of them in Starfield's ship builder—some which we've highlighted already—I'm endlessly curious about which obscure rust buckets people love enough to recreate.
Bethesda has discussed its decision not to include ground vehicles in Starfield — at least, not at the game's launch.
