Starfield is all set to go Live officially, and the masterpiece coming out of Bethesda is expected to be the least buggy game during launch. The interstellar space adventure is all set to feature a whole lot of exploration, combat, and ship-building along with a bunch of customizations as well. Microsoft is betting huge on the game after acquiring Bethesda Game Studio back in 2021. Last week at Gamescom a live-action trailer was revealed that showed gamers a glimpse at what to expect from the game once it goes live.

Starfield is one of the most anticipated games to come out next month. When a gameplay clip leaked yesterday, gamers understandably showed concerns over the gameplay quality.

Last week’s Gamescom 2023 showcased a whole lot of trailers and first looks for a number of major upcoming titles as well as some DLCs. Starfield also got a new live-action trailer which was welcomed by the audience and fans online. Bethesda has already promised the game to be having the least bugs compared to the studio’s previous games. Todd Howard, the Game Director at Bethesda Game Studios, showcased action gameplay, a glimpse into character customization, and a whole lot of shooting from both a first-person perspective and a third-person perspective.

Every single footage that was shown at Gamescom was found to be crisp, and clear and the game looked much better compared to the first glimpses shown last year. The game’s first look from last year had a lot of gamers worried with the dark and stuttery gameplay and their worry escalated when the game was further delayed by a whole year.

Going by the footage shown at this year’s Gamescom, however, gamers are relieved the wait wasn’t in vain, and can’t wait to get their hands on the game. With just a few days to go for the official launch, however, there’s been an unofficial leak of a short gameplay clip from the game. The leaked clip has again caught gamers in a state of bother.

Starfield Gameplay Leaks In Viral Clip, Gamers Concerned Over Quality

A clean and sharp title screen will be the start of your Starfield adventure

It’s not the first time a gameplay clip of an unreleased game has leaked and gone viral, and often times these clips tend to be poor-quality recordings, and very few seconds. That’s exactly how the Starfield leaked clip also looks and the gameplay does look quite stuttery though not as bad as initially thought.

As seen in the clip above, the character, the gameplay, and the entire scene look nothing like the footage that was officially shown at Gamescom just last week. Even if the clip is actually from the official gameplay, it might just be an early beta preview clip as the character shown in the clip and his voice is slightly out of sync. Looking at the clip, however, fans are left with a conundrum over whether or not to go by what’s shown in the clip or wait and trust Bethesda to have the game polished, by the time the game officially launches.

There is, of course, no reason to panic as the gameplay clip proves nothing wrong with the game and all will be revealed after the game launches next week anyway. Gamers don’t have too long to wait to experience the game first-hand, and Steam has already mentioned the recommended specs for gamers to get the maximum experience

The recommended requirements for Starfield on desktop have left gamers clearing up at least 125 GB on their SSDs. Desktop edition’s recommended specs include at least 16 GB of RAM and either of these two GPUs – AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT or an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080. On the CPU side, players must have either AMD’s Ryzen 5 3600X or Intel’s 10-gen i5 processor.

Starfield promises an interstellar exploration as no other game and the game requires just as massive a rig to get the best experience. Starfield releases in the US on the 6th of September, later this year.
