Is Starfield A Multiplayer Experience?

Starfield has been one of the most hyped games of the decade, everyone was on the edge of their seats getting ready to jump into their spaceships and travel across the universe. But can you share this experience with one of your friends in a multiplayer mode? Well that and more is what I’m going to be covering in this post!

So is Starfield multiplayer? Sadly Starfield is and will probably remain to be a singleplayer experience and does atleast now not feature any multiplayer or co-op modes. So when your exploring this new universe, sadly you will have to do it all by yourself. This might be because of the likes of the Fallout series or the Elderscrolls entries, these have also been singleplayer experiences and people think they’re absolute clasics. So why would Bethesda the creater of those games and Starfield switch to a multiplayer experience after they’ve had so much succes with their singleplayer games?

Will Starfield Be Multiplayer In The Future?

Gamers all across the world have been a bit disapointed of the fact that Starfield is only a singleplayer experience, but maybe this won’t be for long. There are 2 possibilities gamers have for a multiplayer experience and I’ll be covering both here.

1. Bethesda themselves make a multiplayer mode.

Bethesda has previously suggested that they’re responsive to player feedback and demands, and seeing that gamers all over the world have bombarded Bethesda in the hopes of a multiplayer mode, this might not be as far-fetched as it seems. However, Bethesda hasn’t officialy announced any possibilities of multiplayer in the near future. But there’s always a chance that Bethesda will add a multiplayer mode. However, another thing keeping Bethesda from adding a multiplayer feature to Starfield might be the ruff experience they’ve had with multiplayer in Fallout 76, on of their other highly populair games. they may have pulled it back now, but that’s definitely something that’s still hurting them.

2. Modding community takes control into their own hands.

One really cool thing about Bethesda’s player base is it’s modders. Modders of big Bethesda games have a history of enhancing the games experience by adding unofficial multiplayer modes, like they did with Elden Ring or Hogwarts Legacy. However, around 10 months ago a group of modders have started attempting this on a mod they call ”OrbitOnline” they set up a Github post and a patreon for people to support their project. But no real progress has been made yet suggesting that they might have dropped the project because it was to dificult. On their to-do list on Trello you can see that they haven’t done or are doing anything yet. This might also be due to the lack of support as they only have 1 paying member on patreon right now.

Starfield Multiplayer Alternatives

As players are itching for a multiplayer mode in Starfield, there are also loads of cool alternatives to enjoy. First and formest are some of Bethesda’s other really popular titles like Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76 which both offer a multiplayer experience. Both these games offer some amazing adventures and overall a great gaming experience. Ofcourse there are also loads of other popular multiplayer games out there, but that’s a topic for another post.
