Microsoft Gives Bethesda Time to Fix Bugs: Starfield Release Delayed to September 2023

news about the position with a smile on their faces, because a large number of people believe that in this case the premiere is the next stage of production – later the developers will improve the title.

However, the situation may be completely different this time. Phil Spencer (Head of Xbox) and Matt Booty (Head of Xbox Game Studios) talked to the GiantBomb editorial staff and the topic of bugs and lags was raised during the discussion.

Phil Spencer confirmed that in fact, Starfield was supposed to debut before November 11, 2022, but Microsoft finalized the acquisition and gave the developers time to fix the bugs. The developers have delayed the debut for the second time (for the first time officially) to September 2023, because they are still fixing bugs and want to provide players with the best possible experience.

I must admit that the team has definitely matured. They have Fallout and Elder Scrolls on their account. In fact, when the acquisition was finalized, this game had a much earlier release date, even earlier than the date we set for Starfield [11.11.2022 – przyp. red.] . We sat down with Todd and the team and explained that we wanted to give this team time,” said the head of the Xbox brand.

Matt Booty even revealed that if Starfield were released today, it “would already have the fewest bugs of any game Bethesda has ever released.” However, the teams of the American corporation are constantly working to provide the best experience for the community.
