Starfield’s continued success is great to see, and I’m curious how many more player milestones we’ll get before the year is up. Personally, I think 15 million before the end of the year is an absolute lock, and 20 million is achievable.
Bethesda Game Studios previously outlined a number of featuresthe team is going to add through future updates, including DLSS support, FOV options, and more. I hope not too much time passes before we find out when to expect these and other features or accessibility options.
We do know that the Starfield Creation Kit is coming early in 2024, which means I’m on the clock to upgrade my PC so I can really play around with that.
