Are you holding your space helmets, people? Because Bethesda’s Starfield is among us, and it already takes each player on their own unique interstellar adventure. The epic journey through space is leaving many amazed and others disappointed after so much wait and expectation for the sci-fi RPG.
It undoubtedly catapults players to the farthest reaches of the universe and offers vast unknown territories full of mysteries to be investigated. An essential part of the game is the combat, which has been praised for the feeling of adrenaline that is given to those who play, and some are finding ways to enhance this even further.
Starfield Can Get the Adrenaline Pumped up With a Specific Song Played by Streamer
It is undeniable Starfield is causing a stir in the video game community, several players have already jumped at the opportunity to experience Bethesda’s cosmic odyssey and even if they don’t play it, they are already hearing about it. From the distance between planets to the depth of water, everything can become a subject for gamers’ ears, but this time a gameplay clip was published and it really interested those who watched it.
Streamer, Cade Onder, published a video on Twitter/X of his gameplay where he decided to spice up the game’s combat, which can seem monotonous or repetitive compared to other FPS depending on each person. Cade Onder found a specific song that fit so well it made anyone who watches it hit their feet and shake their heads.

The clip below shows Starfield’s futuristic gun combat being set to Free Bird, a Lynyrd Skynyrd song that has recently become synonymous with frenetic action scenes. Written by guitarist, Allen Collins, and vocalist, Ronnie Van Zant, the song is featured on their 1973 debut album and also entered the US Billboard Hot 100 on November 23 at No. 87. It became the band’s second Top 40 hit in early 1975, peaking at No. 19 on January 25.

The use of Free Bird as a soundtrack for action scenes in space can have two influences coming straight from the world of cinema. The first and least obvious is that space scenes in pop culture lately have been filled with retro music, thanks mainly to the Guardians of the Galaxy films, in which Peter Quill brings nostalgic earth tracks to play in the most unusual corners of space.

The second and most memorable reason is the use of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s own banner in a frantic action scene like Starfield‘s combat in Kingsman: The Secret Service, where Galahad (Colin Firth) goes to a church where everyone starts to attack each other in brutal ways. The scene is a classic “long shot” that doesn’t appear cut and gives the feeling of uninterrupted movement, giving more energy to the clip that was successful with critics and audiences alike.
The guitar riffs can make anyone feel euphoric and is great fuel for action scenes, so whether in Starfield or other titles, consider adding Free Bird to your gaming playlist.
