Summary
SomeStarfieldplayers are already getting bored with the game, and believe that only a “serious” update could give the title enough new content to keep its core audience engaged.RecentStarfieldreviews are not very positive, and it seems that the overall opinion of the game is turning sour only three months after its release, which is worrisome for the longevity of Bethesda’s new RPG.
Starfieldwas widely played, and it received mostly positive reviews during its launch. However, as time passed, the game failed to keep its player base as engaged as other Bethesda games did, and what was originally seen as the nextSkyrimis now considered a disappointment by some gamers.
Now, oneStarfieldplayer called Ill_Key_7122 shared their grievances with Bethesda’s space exploration game. According to Ill_Key_7122, they really likedStarfield, but “there is a limit to how long people can keep themselves occupied with something,” and after three months with no significant content updates, they just don’t feel like they have anything to do anymore. Only a serious, large update would keep players engaged, the fan believes.
Ill_Key_7122 gained over 3,100 upvotes on r/Starfield, meaning that there are plenty of people in the community who have similar thoughts. In the comments, most gamers agreed with Ill_Key_7122, explainingStarfieldmay be big, but it’s in dire need of new, better content, and that new major DLC, new modes, or even a content update similar toCyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 would be welcome. Some players, however, have argued thatStarfieldis not a live service game, so it’s not reasonable to expect large chunks of new content so soon after the release.
Unfortunately for Bethesda, not having enough interesting content means that some players simply won’t stick around for long. For instance, the popular modder cosideci recently announcedthe cancelation of the Starfield Together mod. According to cosideci, who helped create a similar multiplayer mod forSkyrim, the content inStarfieldis simply mediocre, and he did not see the point in developing the mod for such a game.
Gamers who want more content don’t need to worry, though, as Bethesda plans to launch both new DLC andmodding tools forStarfieldin 2024. Good mod support is one of the main reasons whySkyrimis still widely played today, so this update may give a breath of fresh air toStarfield. Also, the Shattered Space DLC will bring more content, which will certainly please gamers looking for new challenges.
