No, Starfield will not have multiplayer. The game will strictly be a single-player experience at launch.

Starfield is one of the most anticipated games in 2023, the next big project from Bethesda Studios, the makers of Skyrim and Fallout. This massive RPG promises players a fantastic space adventure in which players travel across the galaxy and explore many exciting worlds.

The game allows players to design their character with a unique past, and you'll encounter various intriguing characters throughout the game, some of whom will join you as companions.

What is Starfield?

Bethesda Game Studios, creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4, reveal Starfield, their first new universe in almost 25 years. In this next-generation role-playing game set among the stars, you may create whatever character you choose and explore with unequalled freedom as you embark on an epic adventure to answer humanity's greatest mystery. In 2330, humans left our solar system, colonising distant worlds. In Bethesda Game Studios' most big and ambitious game, you will travel the vast expanse of space with Constellation, the last team of space explorers seeking rare artefacts across the cosmos.

Is Starfield Multiplayer?

Even though Starfield's release date is only a few months away, many things still remain a secret. Bethesda is unlikely to make a surprise announcement about adding multiplayer to Starfield, considering the game has previously announced that it would launch as a single-player experience. Looking back at earlier moves from Bethesda and the gaming community, a multiplayer Starfield could still be on the table.

Is Starfield single-player?

Yes, as Todd Howard has indicated, Starfield will be exclusively single-player, with no ambitions for multiplayer at the moment. This will enable you to explore your tastes and playstyle while allowing you to enjoy the plot without worrying about meeting other players, yet it will prevent you from playing with your friends. Most Bethesda games, including The Elder Scrolls Series, Fable, and others, are designed this way.

What are the possibilities of getting multiplayer in Starfield?

The idea of multiplayer Starfield would necessitate direct involvement from Bethesda. The firm is no stranger to developing multiplayer spinoffs of past single-player titles. Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online were Bethesda's responses to the boom of online multiplayer games, and despite difficult debuts, both titles found their specialised player base. If Bethesda can learn from its previous multiplayer forays, a Starfield-like offshoot might please those who believe the game would benefit from an online multiplayer option.
