Bethesdan avaruusseikkailu Starfield julkaistaan 11. marraskuuta 2022 PC:lle ja Xboxille. Microsoft Gamingin pomo Phil Spencer on kertonut toivovansa, että Starfieldista tulisi kaikkien aikojen suosituin Bethesdan peli. Näin kertoi Axiosin Stephen Totilo.
"So, when I look at the teams, when Todd and I talk about Starfield, it's: 'How do we make sure this is the most-played Todd Howard game ever?'"
Mainittu "Todd" on tietenkin Bethesdan mies Todd Howard. Tällä hetkellä se suosituin on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, joka on myynyt yli 30 miljoonaa kappaletta. Spencerin tavoitteena on kasvattaa pelien suosiota muutenkin.
"Yeah, I want more people to be playing WoW in five years that are playing today. I want more people to be playing Call of Duty in five years, more people to be playing Candy Crush in five years, because we've made it more accessible to more people."
Omaksuttu strategia näyttäisi myös purevan.
"I honestly mean... you can see it with Forza and Halo the last releases. Those are the most played games in those franchises because we made them available on more screens than we ever have, through more business models than we've ever made them available."
