Will Starfield be buggy upon release?

The question is legitimate:

why wouldn’t Starfield be buggy given that virtually all of Bethesda’s titles have some sort of pride in being “broken” games upon release?

THE studio was even nicknamed “Bugthesda” after software releases like Skyrim or Fallout 4.

One reason to think Starfield won’t be is that it’s not just Bethesda anymore but also Xbox.
. And Microsoft is betting a lot on the latter. Being their big exclusive of the year, they decently can’t release the title in a bad state, especially after the Cyberpunk 2077 disaster in 2020.

Microsoft put the means and helped Bethesda during the development, in particular on the side of the bugs, knowing the liabilities of the studio.

Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, even said: “I see the number of bugs and just looking at the numbers if the game came out today it would have the fewest bugs of any Bethesda game.”

Starfield will inevitably have bugs when it comes out, that’s obvious. But he is very probable that it is light years away from what was, for example, Fallout 76 in son launch.

“The game is far too ambitious”

For many,

the game seems much too ambitious to be able to keep all its promises without concessions or bugs.

Between exploration of more than a thousand planets, the RPG part, mixed with FPS, all that is base or ship construction, ship travel, large city-states, all the side quests related to hundreds of NPCs, it seems unlikely

given the number of factors to take into account, given the current video game market and Bethesda’s liabilities for it to come out in a decent state as soon as son launch.

Starfield also casts doubt on son marketing. If the software promised to be extremely ambitious during its first announcements, the title has been much more modest lately. Especially with its concessions, such as 30FPS on consoles.

Will Starfield be bugged at son launch? This is the subject of this new episode of Débat. Refereeed by FKZ, on find on one side Nanix who thinks that the title will indeed be buggy when it comes out, and on the other side Anagund who defends the idea that Starfield cannot be bugged when it comes out. Starfield will be available on September 6, 2023, on PC and Xbox Series X/S and accessible from son launch day on Xbox Game Pass.
