The new role-playing game Starfield and the Update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077 have been released just a few weeks apart. Some players have played both titles in succession and found that the Update 2.0 has changed their perspective on Bethesda’s sci-fi adventure.
What has Update 2.0 changed in Cyberpunk 2077?
- The skill system has been adjusted
- There is a change in cyberware, allowing you to play naked without disadvantages
- Vehicle combat and a revised police AI are also part of the changes
- Adjustments to UI, weapon balancing and more
All these changes elevate Cyberpunk 2077 to a more modern level. A player who played Update 2.0 right after Starfield says that he first realized how outdated Starfield is through Cyberpunk.
In a thread on the reddit forum he describes to other fans that he was actually quite excited to play Starfield. But Cyberpunk 2077 has now diminished his opinion of Starfield. For example, he finds that the female V has such a good voice acting that he wishes something like that for Starfield.

How Starfield compares to Cyberpunk 2077
In the Cyberpunk community on reddit, there are numerous voices that agree with him. User Starfire013 writes, for example, that both titles have their right to exist. While Starfield plays like a title that could have been released 15 years ago, that is simply the principle of Bethesda. Starfield is more “comfort food”.
During the discussion, the role-playing game Baldur’s Gate 3 also comes up. Many players feel that Cyberpunk 2077 does not have to hide behind the RPG masterpiece. Both games have their own approaches and their own playstyle.
Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate 3 are a must-have for role-playing fans. In contrast, Starfield can be skipped without missing anything.
However, many users feel that the two games cannot be compared. MeinMMO has sought further voices from the community so that you can get a general picture of the overall sentiment:
- mikereysalo: “I have spent more than 160 hours in CP2077, and I am reaching 118 hours in Starfield (and I still haven’t finished the main story questline) and I enjoy both games, they are completely different spectrums…”
- betterdayz02: “Starfield was fun, Cyberpunk too, I hope this helps”
- hunterz85: “Don’t forget that CDPR took 3 years to make CP2077 what it is today…, while Starfield has only been on the market for 3 weeks and is already in a great condition… both games are amazing. You should enjoy both!!!”
But there are also users who have a completely different opinion: Palanki96 writes, for example, that he would have sunk 150 hours into Starfield, while he didn’t even complete half of Cyberpunk 2077. He hopes that Update 2.0 and the DLC will change his mind.
