Bethesdan peleillä on maine, jonka mukaan ne ovat hyvin bugisia varsinkin julkaisussaan, eikä kaikkia bugeja välttämättä korjata koskaan. Starfield vaikuttaa olevan Bethesdan peleistä se vähäbugisin, mikä ei tarkoita sitä, että peli olisi ongelmaton.
Games Industry haastatteli Bethesdan Pete Hinesia, jonka mukaan bugeja on, mutta ne eivät huononna Starfieldin tuottamaa pelikokemusta.
"We embrace chaos. We could make a safer, less buggy, less risky game if we wanted to. But what we try to lean into is player freedom. Yes, there's going to be some little things here and there where your companion might stand a little too close to you sometimes, yet the freedom you get, and the things that happen because of that, we absolutely love and embrace. Of course there are bugs. But does it take away from your experience? Or do you have a consistent, fun game that you just can't stop playing and experimenting with?"
