Developer Bethesda Game Studios is known for releasing big, sprawling games that have bugs. Some people believe the bugs are part of the charm. The next title from BGS, Starfield, will probably have bugs, too, but maybe not as many as past titles have had when they released, according to Xbox Games Studios boss Matt Booty.
Booty told GameSpot sister site Giant Bomb, “I see bug counts and just by the numbers if it shipped today, Starfield would already have the fewest bugs of any Bethesda game ever shipped” (via VGC).
Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer said BGS as a studio has “matured” over the years. When Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda parent company ZeniMax closed, the target release date for Starfield was “significantly earlier,” Spencer said.
