A New Universe Takes Shape

Unleashing Human Potential in the Year 2330

In Starfield, players will join the ranks of the Constellation, the last group of intrepid space explorers on a quest to uncover rare artifacts scattered throughout the galaxy. Bethesda Game Studios promises an experience of unprecedented scale, making Starfield their biggest and most ambitious game to date.
Thrilling Adventures and Boundless Exploration
As players navigate the immense expanse of space, they will become immersed in the gripping adventures of various factions. The game offers the opportunity to pilot and personalize your own spacecraft, visit diverse planets teeming with distinctive flora, fauna, and resources, establish outposts, and master a refined combat system to confront threats of all kinds.
