Starfield

Starfield is a bold leap into the cosmos from Bethesda Game Studios, blending deep RPG systems with vast open-world (and open-galaxy) exploration. Set in a richly imagined sci-fi universe, players travel between worlds, scavenge alien planets, and battle in space — all while shaping their own journey through the stars.
