Will Starfield Survive 2025?

[Odd fella]

Following the release of Shattered Space, will Starfield survive 2025?

Survive what....? It's a singleplayer game that already released. What do you think is going to happen to it?

If you are wondering if modders or Bethesda themselves will update this game then I don't know. Probably? Will they support the game at the level you want? I don't know that either. I hope so.

The question you really want to ask yourself is, will Starfield be abandoned by Bethesda? The answer is very simple: No.

Bethesda usually prolongs its games for many years after launch.

What they could reconsider is the way of doing it (expansions, updates or other types of content depending on the way people play), but that the game will continue to receive support and periodic additions is unquestionable, whether they are of greater or lesser importance.

Since last April, Starfield has already had a consolidated and stable community of players (only on Steam, without counting other platforms or Gamepass, it reaches weekly peaks of simultaneous players close to 10K), and it has been like this for months, so it is not going to go down any further, in any case it will continue to have occasional spikes.

This will only be reinforced with each price offer or new development regarding the game, with renewed interest from time to time from some sectors of the public who don't have the game yet but would be interested, as well as the whole modding world which has also exploded in recent months (after the launch of the Creation Kit).

Starfield is very much alive, my friend, and will continue to be so for a long time to come.

I think we probably get a second dlc next holiday and they release a “complete edition” of the game with PS5 launch. And then move on, all hands on deck to finish TES6.

Deja vu?

Still crossing my fingers for minor dlcs like Skyrim got. I think they could still do a lot with Starfield to make it better. It has good bones, but it needs more attention.

Those may continue, but I would guess they’ll get released via Creations. Like The Vulture and Escape.

Probably so, but so long as they get made and aren't... unreasonably priced I think it'll be good for the game's growth.

Ofcourse it will survive, it's just a single player game, not an MMO.

The playerbase numbers strongly disagree with you.

The daily player count drops at a rate that cannot be sustained past 2025.

There are people who still play Starbound in 2024. Starfield will survive 2025 and years to come but don't expect the player counts to be too high

Again, it's a single player game without servers. It can "survive" at 2 people playing it.

Its interesting how the posters above my comment are all Daily Posters.

Let that sink in everyone that is reading my comment.

They are all of them daily on Starfield Forum, always posting positive comments about Starfield and about Bethesda's games in general.

Hmm, makes you wonder.
