None. On my Mac via émulation. Thanks for asking.

What Mac are you using and what emulator?

Looks like Starfield being Play Anywhere is now possibly back on the cards!
It's been updated in the MS store in the last few days with the Play Anywhere tag. Hoping this means cross platform progression so I can jump between PC and Xbox.

this is a must…

Consoles ain't immune from games with launch issues my man. Redfall had problems just about everywhere.

Redfall was a shit game
But almost every other pc game is plagued with problems.
Tlou, dead space , calisto , jedi all had horrible stuttering and problems on pc just to name a few games in the last 1 year alone.
+ The driver issues , the inconvenience that comes with pc gaming and windows it's just not worth it in my opinion .
I'm an old man I don't want to deal with all that bs

 

[Wingnut]

Xbox of course.
We don’t have a PC in our household and I don’t want to change that

 

[Schmick]

Interesting to see a few people say that they will switch between console and PC. I wonder how this will work with playing a modded version on PC.

Is Starfield crossplay between Steam and Xbox?

Again, what is with this notion that this is isolated to PC? We've had DF review of game after game where we don't find what is the best console version of a game, just which is the least shitty. That seems to be more of an issue the further we get into this generation as both pixel counts and frame rates are on a steady decline. I just finished Jedi Survivor on console and it felt like I was back playing on PS4.

But I have to say, I still don't understand how console gamers are somehow experts on problems with PC gaming. I had more problems with Quick Resume working properly than I ever had with gaming on my PC. Not to mention the slow, cluttered user interfaces of consoles. At least Windows is responsive and doesn't fill my screen with a lot of crap I don't care about. So yeah, plenty of BS to deal with on the console side of things.

Actually, that's a good point. Modded saves could have issues going back to Xbox.

Bethesda does have modding for Skyrim and Fallout 4 on Xbox (and PS to lesser extent) and Starfield will likely have that as well. That said, script extender mods don't work on consoles for obvious reasons.

Also Windows Store versions have additional limitations as well.

You mean crossbuy? No, Steam version doesn't get you Windows/Xbox version, and vice versa.

Personally I'm going with Steam version for better mod support.

 

[Garibaldi]

PC. Then I eagerly await the real game getting released. Mod Organiser modding hell.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

PC in a year or two

 

[Codes 208]

PC if at all. I’m not buying an xbox just to play one game i can also play on my pc.

 

[Ribi]

Where's the ps5 option?

I mean cross play or cross save.

 

[Topher]

I mean cross play or cross save.

Crossplay refers to multiplayer games where people can play with those on other platforms. Doesn't apply to Starfield since it is single player. I don't think Steam saves will work in the Windows store version of games, or vice versa.

 

[Diddy X]

PC, I don't have an Xbox and also I don't like 30 fps

I always thought that was Cross-Platform.

Anyway, so there's two options for gamers purchasing the game.

Steam Version - has all the mods but only PC version and no compatibility with any other version so if you want to play on console you'll need to buy it again.
Xbox Store - will probably have limited mods if any, but will have Play Anywhere. Saves will be cloud stored so progress can be picked up where ever you play within the Xbox eco-system.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Mate not going to argue with u , I will never trade consoles comfort for pc.
Everything about pc screams inconvenience for me
For someone who works onor have a pc maybe it's not for u guys.

 

[SodaZA]

PC is the only place I'll ever play Bethesda games
Plus I got the game with my new GPU

That's all fine my man, but you gotta expect some pushback when you jump a thread like this and say "fuck pc". Same if I came in and said "fuck consoles".
