Bethesda’s Todd Howard Addresses Mixed Reception to Starfield

Bethesda's Todd Howard has addressed the mixed reactions to the new space game, Starfield, suggesting that its differences from previous Bethesda games like Fallout and Skyrim contributed to the varied reception. Released in September 2023, Starfield saw high initial player numbers, partly due to its inclusion on Microsoft’s Game Pass, despite receiving mixed reviews for issues such as cumbersome space travel and empty planetary landscapes. Howard emphasized that each Bethesda franchise should offer a unique experience, acknowledging the feedback and noting ongoing updates to improve the game.
