Starfield (PS5)

Starfield is the first new universe in over 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. In this next-generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, create any character you want and explore with unparalleled freedom as you embark on an epic journey! In the year 2330, humanity has ventured beyond the solar system, settling new planets and living as a spacefaring people. You will join Constellation—the last group of space explorers seeking rare artefacts throughout the galaxy—as you navigate the vast expanse of space in Bethesda’s most ambitious project to date. The most important story is the one you tell, starting with a deep character creator that lets you decide your background, traits, and unique path through the Settled Systems.

The scale of Starfield is truly immense, offering over 1000 planets for you to discover. You will navigate bustling futuristic cities, infiltrate dangerous enemy bases, and traverse wild, unexplored landscapes. Along the way, you can recruit a memorable cast of characters to your crew, join various factions with their own competing agendas, and embark on quests that span the galaxy. Beyond exploration, you are the captain of your own destiny and your own vessel. You can completely personalise the look of your ship, modify critical systems like weapons and shields, and engage in high-stakes dogfights in the deep reaches of space. Whether you are docking at massive star stations or commandeering enemy ships, the galaxy is yours to command.

Survival and progression are deeply integrated into the galactic experience. You will explore diverse planets to discover the fauna, flora, and raw resources needed to craft essential medicine, food, and advanced equipment. By building outposts and hiring a specialised crew, you can establish cargo links to transfer resources and passively extract materials for your research projects. When diplomacy fails, a refined combat system provides you with the tools to handle any threat. From long-range rifles to experimental laser weaponry, every tool can be modified to suit your tactical needs. With the addition of boost packs and zero-gravity environments, combat becomes a chaotic and vertical spectacle across the stars.
