Starfield's opening is slow says Phil Spencer, will take a few hours to reach "epic scale"

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said players will need to play the first few hours of Starfield before it «blows up in terms of its epic scale.»
Starfield is only two weeks away and as Bethesda gears up for the launch of perhaps its most anticipated game of all time, there's still a lot players don't know about the upcoming sci-fi RPG.
The spacefaring adventure game will be massive in scale, with reportedly over 1,000 planets to explore in an open galaxy, with free space travel, character customization, and a tailored experience based on the players' choices.
We already know it will be a grand game — the biggest Bethesda has ever made — but according to Phil Spencer, the beginning of the game can be a little slow and players should expect the action to hit after a few hours of playtime.
«It's a big game, and I'll be the first to admit the first three to four hours are a little bit hunt-and-peck, figure out 'what am I actually doing?' Then you get onto sidequests or something, and the game just blows up in terms of its epic scale,» said Spencer in an interview with IGN at Gamescom 2023.
Starfield is set to launch on September 6 for Xbox Series X|S and PC, but early access will start on September 1 for those who purchased the Premium or Constellation editions of the game.
Itwas announced last week that the game had officially gone gold, so users can preload the game right now ahead of its official release. This also applies to those who have pre-ordered the game digitally or are planning to play it via Xbox Game Pass.
To get ready for the launch, here's everything you need to know about Starfield — including story and setting, trailers, gameplay features, and more.

The Elder Scrolls 6’s Exclusivity Still Hasn’t Been Decided, Says Phil Spencer
With Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios has released its first ever title as a first party Xbox developer, and though the studio is, of course, going to continue focusing on the sci-fi RPG for a while, there’s already no shortage of excitement around what will come next either. The Elder Scrolls 6 will be BGS’ next big project, and though it’s still a ways off from launch (to say the least), questions about whether it, too, will be an Xbox console exclusive continue to be asked by the masses.

Xbox’s Phil Spencer Spent 200 Hours In Starfield Without Finishing The Game
Starfield is easily one of the biggest and most anticipated video game titles launching this year. Fans have been waiting on this game for what felt like an eternity since this title was first unveiled. However, since that initial announcement, we saw Microsoft come in and scoop up ZeniMax Media. This deal allowed the studio’s next upcoming Bethesda RPG to land exclusively for the Xbox Series X/S console and PC. As a result, a lot of marketing is going into this game for the Xbox team. Even the head of Microsoft’s Xbox, Phil Spencer, spoke about how much time he’s spent so far in the game.
