What the title says. What are you plan on playing starfield on? Xbox or PC?

I have a PC I built around 2011-2012 and only upgraded the GPU since then. It runs games like Skyrim, Fallout, City Skylines and Civ6 at highest settings. I’m a pretty sure I’ll need a new PC.

What are all you planning on using to play starfield? I’m leaning towards PC because I enjoy modding games but curious what you with Xbox think. Will modding be easier on Xbox now that there is no PlayStation version?

    PC definitely, console modding will never be as good because PC gets script extenders, which is what the truely impressive technical mods use.

      I think I spend almost as much time modding games like Fallout and Skyrim as I do playing them, so I’m definitely really excited to see what mods come out for Starfield in the next few years. I have a feeling its going to be insane.

    12 daisy-chained Raspberry PIs and a GTX Titan. Well, either that or an Xbox X. Not sure which one will keep me warm in November

    Gonna play on Series S with my 2K monitor. It’s said that game will run 2K@30fps on SS. So that’d be ok.

    I remember that some of the mods for Skyrim can be installed on Xbox, I see no reason for this game to not support mods, but don’t expect variety on PC

    PC all the way! I gotta have my mods.

    Built it in early 2021, but it’s still beefy enough that medium settings and a stable 60FPS oughta be achievable.

      How do you like the Xbox Series X? As much as I want to build a PC, I don’t have the time to build one so considering just getting an Xbox and get Game Pass. The last console I had was PS3, so it’s been some time. Even at that time though, I had about 3 games for it so I didn’t use it all that often.

        I had Xbox since 360 times, and I was always happy with it. Back then I also had a gaming PC. But as I grew older and now also have family, I just don’t have nor want to spend time on compatibility issues and upgrading hardware.

        I also had PS 4 few years back to play The Last of us, Detroit became human and death stranding. It was good with these games, but I just like more Xbox because of its UI, console design and build, and game pass.

        Game pass is great if you just happen to have some free time and want to just play some game. But it has AAA titles too, can’t wait next week for starfield.

        Hope this helps a bit.

          It does and it mostly hits the same areas of why I’m looking at Xbox and Game Pass. I have a growing family and would rather spend time with them then messing with a PC, as much as I enjoy doing those things. The idea of being able to fire up Xbox and play something off Game Pass when I have a random 20-30 minutes free is appealing. Thanks for the info!

            Also, the great think about xbox is that you can stream it to your phone on your local network, so you can make yourself kind of an xbox handheld. I just use my old android padle that I have laying around, and bought myself razor kishi. Now whenever I have free time, and the tv is taken, I can just stream the xbox to the “handheld” and play in another room.

    I don’t have any way of playing it currently. As I have a 1080 res TV I guess an Xbox Series S would suffice?

    A Steamdeck would be cool but it’s uncertain if it’ll handle it.

    XSX. I’m too old to deal with PC gaming anymore for games that don’t require PC. And frankly, the Xbox does a pretty darned good job for the price.

    One could argue that Bethesda games require PC because the mods are practically required. I’m hoping that’s won’t be the case with Starfield. Thankfully, it’s on Gamepass so I won’t have to choose. :-D

      I’ve connected an Xbox controller to the pc to “learn” how to use it but I find it so difficult. I would like so much about using a controller- ergonomics, portability, compactness, aim assist, but just can’t adapt yet.
