2023 Preview: Starfield is set to be the biggest Xbox exclusive in over a decade.

Starfield, with exception of games like Call of Duty and FIFA, which always dominate sales, is poised to be the biggest game of the year. Offering that on a subscription service that a huge number of your player base is already part of is an incredible prospect.

was shown. Much more than Fallout or Skyrim in space, the scale of Starfield appears to be far beyond anything attempted by Bethesda Game Studios before. While some of the gameplay does feel similar , where Fallout 4 felt like a mild step up from the Skyrim/Fallout 3 era, Starfield feels like a leap, and it really needs to be.

Depending on how the final game is structured, your adventure could be quite unlike anyone else’s, and the amount of “oh, did you find this on X planet?” conversations after release is one of the main reasons we’re excited about the game. The joy of exploration in Bethesda games, and the hidden missions and stories were already high when the games were set in The Capitol Wasteland or Skyrim, but think what they’ll manage to pull off with a whole galaxy of planets to work with.

The spectrum in Fallout 3 is literally Jesus Christ or the Devil, with shades of grey doing nothing but punishing players by locking them out of some options that the game presents them. Fallout New Vegas is better about this, and Obisidan’s other Fallout-Like,, follows up on this with a more refined idea of what a “good” and “evil” player looks like.

LOL yeah of course it will be - because it was never meant to be an Xbox exclusive and it wasn't created while being managed by Microsoft. It'd be like buying Call of Duty and then saying 'wow it's our best-selling exclusive ever!' Oh wait...they're trying to do that too...

Um, not just Xbox. One of the biggest games of the decade.

Hellblade could steal its thunder if it trips up. Which knowing xbox is extremely possible

its bethesda, see that mountain you can climb it and the classic 16x times the detail nobody is falling for the sales pitch lol

I m excited for this no man sky’s copycat

Let’s hope so after the past decade has looked like this at the game awards for Xbox. Crazy they had to buy a entire company to have a chance on this list but okay. 😂

Wow what an achievement 🤣🤣🤣👍

Lmao how bad is it that they’re putting this much hope in a Bethesda game 😂

Please 🙏 don't hype the game to much , let it be a sleeper hit.

Flop incoming

Lmao in a decade they said😭😭 literally the only xbox game being viewed is the same people who made fallout 76🤣

I'm no PS fanboy, but... What big exclusives have they had in the last decade anyway?

Ponies are the absolute worst. The ruin of any good thread.

From Bugthesda? Doubt. Time to face it, its 2023 soon and for this decade their poorly optimized dumpster fires that need fan patches to be playable just aren’t cute anymore.

U fucking meant ONLY ....... right........ Right?!?!?!!

Learn the difference between Xbox exclusive and Xbox CONSOLE exclusive.

It's funny how Xbox has gone from pro-consumer 'we don't need exclusives' to this. Even PlayStation is changing course and released God of War on the PC! Times they do be changing.

Xbox exclusive

If MS could get the ball rolling woth the lawyers and, keep D4 from ever going to PS5, that'd be a coup as well. I'd dish out the money for a GTA 6 or a Persona 6 timed exclusive if i were MS.

IF it ever comes out...

Aaa no, it's Microsoft exclusive... You can also play it on pc...klick bait trash title

Is it also gonna go on pc?

LOL, amazing what money can do. Just buy the games and slap an 'exclusive' tag on them.

Bro, it's a Bethesda game. It's going to be broken as fuck. I'd be shocked if it's even playable day 1. This is going to be a disaster.

I just hope the core gameplay loop isn't just 'fallout in space'. OuterWorlds did that already

Estáis financiados por Sony?

Hopefully it delivers 🤞

Shame as Bethesda said they would still be allowed to make PS titles earlier in 22. This kind of thing could hurt them as it made Microsoft look like a company that doesn't care what the company wants to do.

...that's pretty sad, tbh

1. It's on pc so it's not exclusive. 2. Why I am seeing only comments hating Sony fanboys but like 0 actual Sony fanboys crying?

It's not exclusive, coming to PC as well 😏

I didn't realize Xbox released anything the past decade.

That's not saying much but I hope it's really good

Oh wow another lame space game. I will totally sell my PC, buy a shitty console, and pay for online just to play this shitty game.

A exclusive they needed to buy lol

One of the only exclusives in over a decade.

But the gameplay looks similar to death stranding. It seems boring.

Starfield without going out is already much better than the garbage that Playstation puts out

And Xbox had zero to do with the game too 🤣

Do they even have anything to compare it to really from the last decade?

Ojalá salga la mitad de lo que están prometiendo, con eso tendrémos un buen juego para disfrutar.

Every comment so far has been 'sony fans/simps' this and 'sony fans/simps' that I don't mean to be rude but sony and their players do be living rent free in yalls heads

Yeah, if they ever release the darn thing 😋

You see the poorly procedurally generated generic planet? You can build a generic and boring settlement on it!

Well no, it’s on PC too so 😑

The biggest exclusive in all of video games. Are you all ready?

It’s the main reason I bought the new Xbox. It better not disappoint

Looking forward to it🙏

Will star field have more value then a blue checkmark?

And it'll be the only thing Xbox has gotten in the last decade

VGC loves doing that MS Cap 🤣

Isnt it coming to PC also? Its not an exclusive.

RIP PlayStiercol

Man I really want StarField to arrive and lose my self exploring the planets I use to take my ship in no mans sky and just going to a random planet explore a little bit and losing my self in the beauty of space

Lets be honest here....that isnt like the hugest hurdle to jump over. Xbox has had some cool exclusives but the landscape hasn't exactly been filled with fuckin mountains over the last ten years.

No one cares

Except you can still play it on PC. It's not exclusive to the Xbox...

And I'm not interested in it. It doesn't look like my type of game

It'd better be worth the hype. Getting tired of being let down.

Not really setting the bar high though is it with the decade they’ve had 😂

Buff cuánto llorón porque no sale en su cacho de plástico favorito!!! ¡¡¡Asumidlo y dejad de soltar chorradas!!!

I don't think this is going to be the groundbreaker people think it'll be.

Comments be like...

Lets gooooo im dummy hype this game will be crazy good in a bethesda way

Only Xbox and Nintendo have top tier games releasing next year

Biggest exclusive in general

shocker. 🤣 bethesda better not fuck this up like their latest work..

After Skyrim became my favorite game in 2011, I have full confidence that Bethesda will make an excellent video game destined for the next GOTY.

You say this but I've actually not heard a huge amount of people actually excited for it and I'm talking about former Bethesda fans. A lot of us think it looks quite meh and they haven't really sold anyone on the game besides the diehards who would grab it regardless.

lmfao Xbox doesn't have a hope 60fpsisfilmic

Yup and it'll be the only game xbox will talk about for the next 10yrs when it will get 2 remasters across 2 gens. By then Microsoft will have caused BethesdaStudios to lose devs and shut them down. The merger will be a huge disaster for gamers.

They NEED to nail this game

Damn, and they didn't even come up with it themselves 😂

It's going to be good, but I am definitely burnt out of open world space games and space games in general lol! Taking a break for this

More like the only big exclusive in over a decade.

So infinite wasn’t? Sure sounded like it until everyone found it to be trash

Lol poor Xbox

*only

cant wait to see what the actual game play is like because so far we have seen fuck all

I mean I’d hope so.

Should of been halo. Mad L that one. I hope starfield is great but it’s Bethesda. We’ll see

Idk bout that

Look bland and boring. Typical bethesda

Pony boys hold your tears...it's only 1 exclusive😂😂😂

Because GamePass 😂

Loco por disfrutarlo en mi series x yaaaaaaa🙅‍♂️💚

Also day one on xbox gamepass 😎

Now all the bugs and glitches exclusively on Xbox.

Big 2023 for Xbox gang 😎

Pony tears everywhere, weren't exclusives cool?

I'll just wait till it's multi console and buy 5 versions of it on the same console only for the VR version to come out and then wait for the definitive versions with all the dlc then buy the platinum version with added fishing mechanic

Lol I’m sure it is

I just hope it works out for them.Proverbial nail in the coffin for Xbox as a brand if this tanks

* Starfield is set to be the biggest 1st party exclusive of any console in over a decade Fixed 👌

Cause it's the only Xbox game in a decade. Joking by the way bring it on

I find that hard to believe. Halo infinite wasn’t big enough?

Another game I won’t be playing EliteDangerous

Sad it’s exclusive 👎

It'll likely be amazing. And it'll likely get shit on anyway because people still don't understand that it's normal for giant ambitious games to have bugs on release and every time they complain about it they contribute to the dumbing down of gaming.

😂😂😂😂

I hope they knock it out of the park!!

And it will be trash from everything that I've seen

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

And now imagine it will be just a decent game and not the second coming of Jesus 🤣 the bots will be hurting

I mean of course xbox doesn't have huge launches and elder scrolls 6 will be the same its the only huge hyped games xbox got

i don't take claims like this seriously until i see the state of the game a month after release. PERIOD.

As much as I can't wait. I don't like the fact that it's getting hyped to near impossible standards. I just hope it keeps me wanting to see what happens next I like Bethesda for their storytelling over anything else

Yeah yeah, Xbox exclusive, sure *grabs PS4 controller and plays on Steam*

So no set date for Fable 😒

How with no release date

Its gonna flop

Timed exclusive*

*only good exclusive

bla bla bla...

Pretty easy when buying the company who makes it when it was already in development for years. Not that I care much about it since its going to be free on gamepass

Finally I’ll have a reason to play my Xbox now😂

How. What if it flops? Then what do we do?

It could be skyrim on space but i doubt it will

Wonder how many weapons it'll have

Probably because it's the only exclusive in over a decade

More like the only exclusive in a decade

Well no shit, tends to happen when you buy a studio as big as ZeniMax Media that has made Elder Scrolls and Fallout titles just to name a few. It’s like buying out Rockstar and being surprised that their games would sell massively if made exclusive…

I went back and watched the Trailer, Like damn it is Seriously Super Ambitious. It's going to be a Massive Game 💯 Also we already know they are working on Elder Scrolls 6 😌 They like to Overlap Projects.

It should tho

That isn’t really saying much.

No man’s sky exists 👀 gonna be interesting to see how it compares

Feels like the only one in a decade.

🤣🤣🤣so they're going back on their word, and making good content exclusive to their shit after buying it... again.. of course it's gonna be their biggest exclusive, they got it by buying a good company instead of using their own trash🤣

The biggest in filler but not the biggest in demand.

Because they rather buy companies that were already making the games instead of making their own games with their first party companies? Lol

It has to actually release to even be an exclusive in the first place.

It's not exactly a crowded line up to be fair.

Already out on pc

i don't know... after cyberpunk 2077 anything could happen

Eagerly waiting for Crowbcat's video

May be this 'biggest Xbox exclusive in over a decade.' will finally be the TH game that launches relatively bug free...

Looks bland af

Awesome

Not saying much lol

Xbox has had nothing at all

and PC

Will probably be buggy ala bethesda but still has a chance of being best game out next year. Thats how good games like fallout and elder scrolls can be. Cant wait personally.

Well let’s see and look if the game is not ready delay it yes it’ll piss people off but that’ll give the developers more time polishing the game to exceed their expectations. I want starfield to be a good game

It’s been almost a decade since Xbox has had a big exclusive so I would sure hope so.

Shame it’s not exclusive 🤣🤣

It's the first big exclusive that isn't Halo, Gears or Forza, so with that in mind.. yes, it's the biggest🤷‍♂️

Is the game immune to controller drift?

I'm excited for Starfield! However, people are hyping this game up way too much. Even if its amazing, I think it will never reach it the level that people are hyping it up to be. The hype will be its own downfall. I hope I'm wrong.

And they only had to BUY the dev making it and pull it from other platforms. 😂

cant wait

Theres not a lot of competition tbh

I can't wait for a Crowbcat video with the problems xd

Everyone is excited. I think games shouldn't be as big as they are describing because it just means more glitches and bugs

Halo Infinite certainly wasn't

looks like every other shooter. another overrated game like cyberpunk.

Yes, like Fallout 76.

Everyone talkin bout bugs meanwhile I'MGOINTASPAYCE

Yes please

It's not just the most ambitious XBOX exclusive in a decade, it's the most ambitious game of all time.

So its gonna have a big map 😂 nice clickbait

'Biggest'... 'First'... semantics.

You’re part of the problem when you hype up this game.

Like Netflix one big show and nothing more well done game pass…

Hellblade 2 says hello

Bethesdas track record for launches hasn't been good for a while. Plus their awful treatment of Mick Gordon does not feel me with confidence

I've heard that before... I'm already prepared for disappointment.

Can’t wait for it!! I know for a fact that I’ll lose myself in this game! LFG

It’s a buggy mess it’s trash cause it’s not coming to PlayStation?

These comments

Lets put it this way, it will probably be in the top 5 of XBOX Series X exclusive games !.....

can’t wait for the toxic fanboys in comment section

Watch out you’ve spawned the Sony fan girls

I mean, they've had...what 6 in a decade?

You know xbox exclusives is trash when starfield is the biggest Xbox exclusive in over a decade when Ms has nothing to do with it. starfield was in production already before Ms thrown money to own the ip.

And they only needed 7 billion to have it.

Yeah they have not had an exclusive in over a decade.

Flop*

This better not suck cause if it does then I've lost all hope on Bethesda.

HHAHHAAHAHAH ur funny

Translation: Starfield is going to be a bug ridden mess that will be covered as being as such for most of 2023.

And we've seen next to nothing of it 👀

Hope it's not another nms or cyberpunk scenario. The hype is very high now.

great I'm excited

We know already who's taking the Best RPG award in 2023

tbh after seeing the first gameplay, my expectations dropped kinda low. What we have seen so far doesn't look very promising

Hopefully it turns out to be fairly good. My only concerns are performance issues and game breaking bugs. The occasional glitchy body or funny bugs I don't really mind too much. And if it launches bad, modders will make it great.

Easy achievement to accomplish

stop making the licks.

Wow stands with all 5 of them. Can’t believe it.

Frankly it's not a high bar. Either way, I hope it's good. We need some really good first party games on Xbox.

lets just hope it actually delivers

Thats xbox on fault that so much now rides on stuff they buy. Also i will likely play but free of course with bing reward points

…and the biggest disappointment. Remember, it’s made by Bethesda Softworks’ internal studio, expect an unfinished, glitchy, buggy mess, as always. A “Fallout in Space”. Do not pre-order, wait for reviews. Mark this tweet.

Xbox Exclusive but will be on PC too and will be better on PC ;). We all know this

Medium tier title 😂 Right Microsoft 🤣

Preview!?!?!? 404 page not found?!?!?!? I NEED ANSWERS
