Summary
AStarfieldplayer online has claimed an impressive achievement: playing 227 hours in the game without eating or sleeping a single time. They have been able to reach this milestone in the absence of a realistic Survival mode forStarfield.
Even when Bethesda games are at their worst, they still offer an extremely impressive amount of freedom for gamers to play however they’d like within the confines of the game world. Sometimes, this can lead people away from the main content of Bethesda titles, with players instead choosing to go their own way with challenges of their own. These can be smaller mini-challenges, all the way to finding new ways to beat the game. OneStarfieldplayer even managed to beat the game while only gun bashing in every fight, which certainly seems like it could be more trouble than it’s worth.
Ant_6431 on Reddit shared their in-game stats with the community online, showing that they had managed to get 227 hours intoStarfieldwithout ever sleeping, waiting, or eating a single bit of food. Some in the thread pointed out that they could be missing out on some useful XP boosts, such as the 10% (15% when with a romanced companion) well-rested boost. However, given how far into the game Ant_6431 is, it’s hard to imagine they’re having too much troubleleveling up inStarfield.
Starfield Player Hasn’t Eaten or Slept, 227 Hours In
One user in the thread suggested installing the Starvival mod, which introduces aSurvival mode forStarfieldin the absence of an official Bethesda version. If they wanted a reason to be forced to eat and sleep during their playthrough, this could certainly be a viable option in the meantime. With Survival mode being introduced post-release in bothSkyrimandFallout 4, it’s expected to make a return toStarfieldsoon. Whether this player takes Bethesda up on the option to use it is another matter entirely.
2024 needs to be a massive year forStarfield. While the game performed well critically, large sections of the community were certainly disappointed with Bethesda’s release, which has resulted in dwindling player counts in recent months. While some believe thatStarfield’s player count isn’t all the doom and gloom it appears to be, it’s unusual for a Bethesda title to be having this problem, with its releases usually defined by their incredibly long lifespans. Hopefully, with consistent updates and some great DLC, Bethesda can win back plenty of community goodwill in 2024.
