"Starfield: Microsoft's high-stakes space adventure with detailed character creation and confirmed Xbox performance."

Microsoft is set to release its long-awaited video game Starfield in September, which could be one of the most important releases in Xbox's history. The game, developed by Microsoft-owned Bethesda Softworks, is a space epic that has been in development for years. The release comes at a slow period for game sales, and Microsoft is hoping to attract gamers with a blockbuster on par with Nintendo's latest Zelda game and PlayStation's upcoming Spider-Man 2. However, Sony has raised antitrust objections to Microsoft's planned takeover of Call of Duty maker Activision Blizzard, over concerns that Microsoft could make some of Activision's best games exclusive to Xbox.
