Starfield is Bethesda’s upcoming RPG that sets the stage for a huge cosmic exploration. Given the scientific fact that there are countless stars out there in the Universe, who knows what life forms we humans might encounter? Therefore, humans have been wondering since the dawn of civilization what’s out there in the Universe beyond our own world. Starfield will try to answer that question.

Starfield is coming out in September, and it’s great that we’re already getting our hands on official information about the game. If you’re aiming to play it, you should keep in mind that it won’t be cheap at all. Starfield will cost 70 euros on Steam.
