There was a rumor earlier this year that Starfield and Redfall needed more development time, but Microsoft is allegedly pushing the studios to release games as early as possible to improve their financial performance in the report to shareholders amid the loss of revenue from Azure cloud servers.
At the same time, the exact opposite information appeared on the network today. VGC journalist Jordan Middler stated in the site’s latest podcast episode that Microsoft has given Bethesda and Todd Howard the freedom to choose the release date that suits them best.
According to Middleler, Starfield’s internal date was constantly changing, but Bethesda and Todd Howard could always come to Xbox and agree because Microsoft understands that they can’t afford another ” Cyberpunk “.
While Bethesda has a reputation for releasing less than technically polished games at launch, it’s hoped that in the case of Starfield, a delayed release and lack of pressure from Microsoft to do so will avoid a Cyberpunk 2077-sized disaster.
Starfield, as it was announced the other day, will be released on September 6, and already on June 11, before the big summer presentation of the Xbox Games Showcase, the developers will hold an in-depth presentation of the game.
