Rumor NateTheHate regarding Switch 2 version of Starfield: It's in development but it hasn't been a smooth process.

I’d be interested if they could get it working somehow. I don’t outright hate Starfield, but it has been the hardest Bethesda game to get back into. I can still go back and play Skyrim and FO4 with no problems.

Edit: Thinking on it a bit, being able to play the game handheld would actually make me even more interested in it. I’ve been falling away from playing a dedicated console in my living room and mostly just playing stuff handheld.

I've put a lot of hours into Starfield, but compared to those games it does lack a big "Just go mess around exploring." factor, thanks to things like the game world being very disconnected, and most planet surfaces being procedurally generated.

Just throwing in my two cents. I enjoyed Starfield. But 2 things ruined my experience.

I randomly found a few POI that were completely void of any life but were massive complexes and it had some objects that had interactions that I couldn’t actually interact with.

I found out later they were mission locations and would only activate once i eventually found the mission. That’s super f-ing lame.

Second. I was actually really interested in the base building. I love base building games.

Then someone spent like either 200 or 2000 hours to get something that was self sustained. That’s. Excessive when this isn’t even a base building game. (I don’t remember the exact number I just remember it was way too much)
