Xbox's Phil Spencer wants Starfield to be the "most-played" game made by Bethesda's Todd ജHoward ever.
Yesterday in a tweet thread, Axios gaming reporter Stephen Totilo published a slate of remarks he rec🐠eived when interviewing Xbox boss Phil Spencer earlier this year. In particular, Totilo highlighted the comment seen just below, revealing that Spencer is aiming to make Starfield the "most-played" game released by B൩ethesda creative director Todd Howard ever.
Spencer to me: “I love the Forza 5 and Halo stats...I love how many people played Psychonauts 2 vs. Psychonauts 1. "So, when I look at the teams, when Todd and I talk about Starfiel𝐆d, it's: 'How do we make sure this is the most-played Todd Ho🔴ward game ever?'"
That is quite the enormous ch൲allenge. Howard has released a suite of Elder Scrolls and Fallout games under Bethesda over the last two decades, all of which can be played for hundreds of hours, eagerly offering players brand new content hidden in the far reaches of their massive in-game worlds.
Heck, people are still playing Skyrim, a game that celebrated its tenth anniversary last year, to this very day. So strong is the following for Skyrim over a decade later, that Bethesda released 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyrim: Anniversary Edition late last year, bundling in previous DLC and expansions, as well as brand new aspects like fishing to the ten-year-old gam🗹e.
For Starfield to top Skyrim's decade-plus of play time is no small feat. Still, Spencer obviously has high hopes for the spacefaring RPG, which is set to launch later this year on November 11, exclusively for PC, Xbox One, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series S (plus Xbox Game Pass on day one). So far, we've seen a number of Starfield's in-game worlds, but we really hope it's not just "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyrim in space".
Even one of us spent our Winter break playing Skyrim instead of a new game.
