Bethesda Game Studiosin peleillä on tiettyjä tunnettuja piirteitä toistensa kanssa. Siksi tulossa olevaa Starfieldia on tavattu luonnehtia Skyrimiksi avaruudessa, ja moinen on ollut sekä moite että ylistys.
Xbox Studiosin pomo Matt Booty on kuin onkin painottanut Friends per Secondin lähetyksessä, että onhan Starfield paljon muutakin kuin vain Skyrim avaruudessa.
"I'm confident that he's not going to sit still on what was built before. It's not his approach to come in and reskin something. There's going to be an awful lot of things that move forward with this game. I think there's going to be an awful lot of new stuff that Bethesda fans and Todd Howard fans have not seen, brought to the game. I know just from checking in with them the team is hard at work to get that thing all buttoned up and put together. I'm fortunate enough to be involved in the status reports and things, and it's just fun watching them iterate through that level of polish on the game right now."
