Starfield 12 month delay massively praised by fans

Fans are glad that Bethesda decided to delay Starfield by 12 months, showing a year-on-year graphical comparison.

Once upon a time, we would’ve already had Starfield in our hands right now. Bethesda’s upcoming space epic was due to release last year but was, as is often the case these days, delayed. It’s now finally set to release on 6 September.

There’s so much to look forward to in Starfield. The Star Map may just be the biggest in-game map we’ve ever seen, plus New Atlantis is set to be the largest city that Bethesda has ever created. We know how many romance options will be available for our playable character, plus The Adoring Fan is confirmed to be making a return. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can pre-download the game already, confirming the title’s size. Having to wait an extra 12 months to get our hands on Starfield certainly wasn’t fun but clearly, it’s for the best. Developers have made huge improvements to the game in that time, and fans are blown away by just how much has changed.

Take a look at Starfield’s latest trailer below.

Reddit user ThinWhiteDuke00 posted two screenshots of the same in-game location. The first was showcased during Starfield’s 2022 gameplay reveal, while the latter was in this summer’s Starfield Direct. It’s clear to see the major improvements made. The environment is far more detailed. The textures have been improved, as has the shading. There are far more NPCs populating the scene too, making it feel much more realistic and lived in.

User scuttlemeta wrote, “The colour changes that they’ve made have really made it appear more immersive whilst also adding to the general sense of the environment. Like the beautiful planets look incredible and now the planets which are barren and hostile appear to give you a sense of danger,” while Flow390 added, “As much as I hated the delay at the time, I admit that it was 100% worth it. Looks much better than before.”

Another user commented, “Truly. I was lukewarm on Starfield in 2022, but it's shot to the top of my hype list in 2023.” Good work Bethesda.
