News Starfield PS5 Crash Patch Out Now, But It Only Partly Fixes PS5 Pro
See you next week
Bethesda has (sort of) delivered on its promise to fix Starfield's frankly shocking crashing issues on PS5 and PS5 Pro.

News Starfield PS5 Sales Estimates Leave Much to Be Desired
Wish upon a Starfield
According to newly released estimates, Starfield may not have had the strongest opening sales on PS5.

Review Starfield (PS5) - Better Than Ever, But Still No Space Skyrim
See that star? Don't go there
Starfield is a very different proposition compared to the many Elder Scrolls and Fallout games Bethesda has made in the past: it’s a space RPG where the worst thing about it is space. Instead of a single open world to explore, there are theoretically hundreds — but you can count the ones actually worth visiting on...

Dead dream
It’s been the saga of the past six or so months, and Microsoft has already made fairly clear that it will not be sharing Bethesda’s riches after podding out $7.5 billion for the publisher.
