“I Like the Ability to Focus…” Todd Howard Talks About Starfield Being Exclusive to Xbox

While PlayStation fans are enjoying God of War: Ragnarok, Xbox users are gearing up for 2023. Phil Spencer said a while ago that Xbox owners would get a bunch of titles to be excited about soon. We know some of those games to be Avowed, Fable Reboot, and maybe The Outer Worlds 2. But one of the biggest game that is sure to launch next year is Bethesda’s most awaited Sci-Fi open-world action RPG Starfield.

There’s a huge disturbance amongst gamers regarding this new game’s Xbox exclusivity. Some are supporting this exclusivity while others are against it.

Todd Howard has his say on the first exclusive Bethesda RPG

Fans remember that until Fallout 4, Bethesda’s every game made its way to PlayStation consoles sooner or later. But this would be the first time that such a huge game made by Bethesda is only making its way to Xbox. Amidst these debates and arguments of exclusivity and such, game director Todd Howard made a very eye-opening statement during his interview with Lex Fridman.

When Fridman asked what difference the exclusivity makes to the developers of the game, Todd Howard expressed his view. He said, “From a development side, I like the ability to focus, and have help from them, you know, the top engineers at Xbox to say we are going to make this look incredible on the new systems, is like from my standpoint, it’s just awesome.”

He also revealed that the Starfield team is being assisted by top Xbox engineers to make Starfield a perfect showcase for Xbox consoles. Some people agree with this statement, but some are also against it.

New gameplay informations on Starfield

Todd Howard revealed some gameplay information about Starfield as well. The game would apparently have a leveled star system. Every planet in a system would have a different level. There would be no fuel mechanic to the ship. We would be able to fly anywhere without worrying about running out of fuel. There would be a bunch of robot enemies.

Our Spacesuit would provide different protection buffs from different elements, such as gases/toxicity/temperature. This would change the usability of suits from planet to planet. Finally, Todd Howard mentioned that currently the team working on Starfield is under immense pressure. They are worried because Starfield is now seen as “The Game” for Xbox consoles.

On the matter of Starfield, Bethesda has more supporters than people opposing them. Their games never fail to impress with their detail and the amount of content that comes with them. For those really excited about it should know that there is news that we might see a new trailer for Starfield at the upcoming Game Awards.
