Starfield: From Lowest-Rated to No Man's Sky Potential, Todd Howard Reveals 5-Year Content Plan

Starfield, Bethesda's highly anticipated new IP, has received lower ratings from Steam players compared to previous Bethesda games, including Fallout 76. Despite its successful launch in terms of player count and sales, Steam reviews highlight complaints about stiff NPC animations, limited romance options, excessive procedural generation, lack of lore resources, absence of ground-side transportation, and disappointing interstellar dogfights. While Bethesda has a history of improving games through updates and DLC, Starfield's fate will depend on the developer's actions. Currently, the game trails behind Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam and has faced launch issues on Xbox.
