Default Starfield - September 6th 2023 - XBox Series X/S

Figured this deserved its down thread. Incredibly excited for the release, Fallout 4 has become one of my favourite games ever and have happy to see a new IP from Bethesda

Fancy controller, reminds me of the LGBTQ+ rainbow.

The Series S was the only Xbox available during the initial launch window but if Starfield is as good as it should be I'll end up upgrading to the Series X and actually buying a physical copy. Games Pass is great but some games I just want to actually own.

Yeah, embargo on reviews is August 30th, so should have a good idea shortly after that. Never got into Skyrim, but enjoyed Fallout NV and 4. Should be a day 1 purchase on PC for me.

Datamine doesn't look good for DLSS Nvidia users.

The mod community will fix that pretty quickly I'd imagine.

I'm curious if/how it will run on Steam Deck.

I have a Series S and Game Pass so will naturally be checking it out. Hoping it performs adequately on Series S. I'm not super excited for it as some are, but it could also end up being amazing. We'll see soon!

It'll get steam deck verified and run at 14 fps

I'll stream to my deck if I want to play it on the couch. I'm hoping it runs well though, it would be awesome to play on flights.

I'm excited to play it, but my backlog is massive right now, so I'll probably let them patch it up a bit before I dive in.

Here's to hoping.

Is this thread only supposed to be for xbox? Excluding the master race from the thread title?

Got this one pre-ordered and ready to go.

Very excited. Can't wait to explore this incredibly vast galaxy they've built. Love all the main single-player Bethesda titles.

The modding potential for this game is insane.

I have it downloaded already via Gamepass. As a fan of Mass Effect I'm pretty excited about this but also a bit skeptical as it sounds too ambitious to be pulled off 100% on the first try. This could be a game that is better after a year of updates, tweaks, or in a sequel. If they deliver on most of the game though it should be pretty amazing.

Get Game Pass Ultimate, download the app on to your PC. Stream Starfield, this will cost you practically nothing.

Or Game Pass PC if you don't think the extra cost for Ultimate is worth it. I pre-installed it this morning. I still have another year of Ultimate but will probably just convert to PC since that's all I use it on anyway.

Game Pass PC will only work if you have a capable computer to play it on as GP PC doesn't include cloud gaming. I was in the assumption that the poster did not have a capable PC/Console to play it on by his comment.

Using GP Ultimate will also allow XBOX One/One X owners to play it via Cloud gaming on their consoles.

I've got a GTX 1080 that's still chugging along, but I wonder if streaming Starfield might give me better quality. At least with a game like that you're not too concerned with a bit of input lag
