Starfield

An explorer with Constellation

Bethesda Game Studios' first new universe in decades, Starfield launched on 6 September 2023 on PC and Xbox Series X|S, then on 7 April 2026 on PS5. Players join Constellation, a group of explorers, create their character, fly and customise their ship, and travel across star systems through quests, ground combat and space battles.

What the press says

On PC, GamesRadar+ (5/5) describes an expansive, beautifully crafted open-world experience full of discovery, praising its world, characters, locations, gunplay and ship battles; it criticises a game that can be overwhelming and an eternally annoying encumbrance system. PC Gamer (75/100) calls it Bethesda's biggest RPG by far, but nowhere near its best.

Editions and prices

Checked on 12 November 2026, with no sale open to everyone: the standard edition costs €49.99 on Steam, the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store; the Premium Edition costs €69.99 on all three stores. The game is also included in Game Pass, which is not counted here.

Who is it for?

Fans of Bethesda RPGs and science fiction who enjoy free exploration and ship customisation. Players wary of inventory management or sprawling games may feel overwhelmed.
