MeinMMO editor Maik Schneider must not think about Starfield: Otherwise, the time until the release passes too slowly. He also doesn’t look at leaks. The statement of a leaker did reach him, and it was exactly what he wanted to hear.
I only realized it late, but I actually love the games from Bethesda. In the past, I just never thought about which developer studios were behind my favorite games.
Whether Elder Scrolls or Fallout – starting with The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, I have spent hundreds of hours in the series, even the MMORPG Elder Scrolls: Online kept me occupied for more than 1,000 hours. TESO apparently had to compensate for Fallout 76…
By now I know which games belong to Bethesda and what image the developer studio has. Therefore, my biggest concern about the release of Starfield for a long time was: How bugged will the sci-fi RPG be? After all, Skyrim, Fallout 4, or Rage were difficult candidates at release.
But then a leaker said something that took a lot of pressure off me.
The latest trailer for Starfield was seen at gamescom:
What was that leak? Shortly after the distribution of the first review keys, the first major leak is making its rounds. Reviewers actually sign a kind of non-disclosure agreement, meaning they cannot talk about the content or their impressions.
But the YouTuber “Tyler McVicker” with over 350,000 subscribers on the video platform said the one sentence I wanted to hear:
15 hours in and not a single bug.

His statements were not directly publicly accessible but were posted by McVicker on a Discord server. However, his first impressions quickly made the rounds. For me, it was 8 words of pure anticipation.
The YouTuber shared additional positive impressions. Click on the Reddit link in the quote box if you want to see the other statements. That one sentence was enough for me, and I can hardly sit still now.
Only a few days left until early access and I can finally convince myself.
Others are already further ahead: Xbox head Phil Spencer has spent 200 hours in Starfield. Colleagues all over the world are working on tests and reviews that can go online on August 31, 2023.
