Quality thoroughly assured, maybe
It sounds like Xbox really wantsStarfieldto be as bug free as possible, as apparently every QA staff member is working on the game. This comes fromGiant Bomb, who spoke with Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty and Xbox boss Phil Spencer. The two spoke about a range of topics to do with Xbox as a whole, but Booty notably claimed thatStarfieldwould be the Bethesda game with the least amount of bugs the developer has ever shipped.
“We have an awful lot of people internally playing Starfield, working with Todd and the team,” said Booty. “I see bug counts and just by the numbers if it shipped today, Starfield would already have the fewest bugs of any Bethesda game ever shipped.”
It’s quite the bold claim, as Bethesda games are known for beingquitebuggyatlaunch.
Spencer also added that Xbox has “every QA person in our entire company playing Starfield right now, looking at bug counts, looking at the quality of where we are.” He also said that “the nice thing about what we showed [in the Direct] from my perspective is that was the game. We’ve been playing the game for quite a while and that’s the game.”
We obviously got our biggest look at Starfield yet at this year’s Xbox Showcase, showing off a whole bunch of stuff likewhat the exploration is like, the character creator (which is so versatile Bethesdaused it to make the game’s NPCs), and theship buildingtoo. You’ll also want to make sure you have some space on your SSD, as thesystem requirementsare available now too.
