![]() As we've seen with the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 being panned on launch, Bethesda is likely making sure Starfield is as solid as it can be before releasing too much. That was recently cast into doubt when a Bethesda dev said the team is "still sorting stuff out." This comes not long after worrying whispers that the AAA title has been delayed again, meaning no one's really sure what's going on with Starfield right now.Ĭonsidering Starfield has apparently been in a playable state since 2018, you might expect there to be more promo materials out there. Although it missed out on the recent Xbox showcase, we were told Starfield will be getting its own dedicated presentation. Hopefully, there should be some actual Starifeld footage on the way soon. why bother? What's Going On With Starfield? ![]() The Reddit thread shows what looks like a Discord chat that confirms it was an AI creation. With a rise in video games using AI, it turns out the "leaked" Starfield screenshot was actually created using Midjourney. It even comes with a slightly blurry aesthetic you might expect from someone snapping a leak on their phone and the word "official" to make it seem legit. The "leaked" photo shares similarities with the woman we saw in the Starfield gameplay trailer and was supposedly taken from another footage leak. Speaking of which, a new screenshot has gone viral despite being an elaborate fake. Although it featured the same HUD from previous screenshots, it was confirmed as a doctored image from a walking simulator called Mýrdalssandur, Iceland.Īs we get ready for Starfield's (hopeful) 2023 release, you're going to have to keep your wits about you to figure out what's real and what's someone trying to score upvotes on Reddit. This isn't the first time we've seen Starfield fakes, with supposed insiders sharing an in-development screenshot in June 2021.

So, let’s stop doing this dance.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. I know it’s a different scenario to a point because Bethesda used to be independent, but that’s what $7 billion buys, all the exclusivity Microsoft wants. Tell Nintendo that they should bring Mario or Zelda games to PS5 and Series X and people will look at you like you’ve lost your mind. The counter-argument here is that Microsoft is “limiting sales” by keeping Bethesda games off PlayStation, which moved 116 million PS4s and will likely sell at least that many PS5s in the long run, and yet you don’t hear people asking why Sony is limiting sales by not releasing God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn or Ghost of Tsushima on Xbox. It’s why most, if not all future Bethesda games will be. It’s why almost certainly Elder Scrolls 6 will be. It’s why Starfield is Xbox/Game Pass exclusive. So in that case, that’s one Bethesda game PlayStation fans are certainly getting.īut it’s easy to see how Microsoft’s massive, multi-billion dollar purchase of Bethesda is primarily meant to give them an exclusive roster of IPs, the exact tool they needed to better take on PlayStation and its must-have first party games. That has created situations like old deals remaining in place, such as Bethesda’s Deathloop about to be released this fall as a timed exclusive on PlayStation. ![]() Microsoft is in an odd spot right now because their purchase of Bethesda is so fresh. ![]()
