Could Starfield be delayed?

There would be riots
There’s zero chance Forza Motorsport sells more than Starfield.
There’s no ‘shocking’ lack of marketing. The deep dive was a significant marketing event, and they’re ramping up significantly leading to release.

125 GB of Todd Howard JPEGs.What if the preload on August 9th is really just downloading 125 GB of lies?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Acceptable trade.

nah, it will be released on time, be buggy as hell, and they will promise to fix it over the next 3 years. It's the Bethesda way.

Why would they delay it when they can just leave it up to Modders.

No way. I've heard all bugs are acceptable with Bethesda so no.
If you get in your starship and hit hyper drive never to be seen again just start over with a new ship and character. It's on.

Conspiracy theory time:
The preinstall is secretly running the game in the background checking millions of possible game breaking bugs behind the scenes. AI patch power.

No, it would be downright scandalous this late in the game. Preloads start this week.
I think the 10 month delay they did was pretty generous to the dev team and gave them time to execute on their goals, and they announced the final release date pretty late in the cycle to make sure they were confident.
I am sure there will still be bugs and the like, as we would expect from any game of this scope (let alone from Bethesda), but they know where the game is at and they're ready for the world to play it.

There are people on this forum who will be professing their concerns over the date after the game launches.

Has anyone wondered about Series S performance? Go ahead and make a thread, we need another.

No, *but player counts is how Xbox measures success of a title, since Game Pass eschews the traditional front-loaded sale model. Player counts show how popular a game is, how long it's being player for, what people are switching to the game from another game, or platform. If they're buying DLC or add-on content. If the game they're playing is keeping them subscribed to Game Pass/ Ultimate vs getting it for one month, finished a game, then unsubbing before being charged again. Or if the game they're playing is keeping them on Xbox vs switching to a different platform. Which would make the player more likely to remain on Xbox even when upgrading to new hardware.
