Starfield

Starfield is a sci-fi role-playing game from Bethesda Game Studios that transports you to a distant future where humanity has colonized space. You join a spacefaring research organization on the trail of a mysterious cosmic secret. The focus is clearly on exploration, discovery, and venturing across alien worlds—not on a linear space war. The game blends a central storyline with a high degree of player freedom. Alongside the main campaign, you’ll find faction questlines, a wide range of side missions, and robust systems for crafting, outpost building, and ship construction.
