Multiplayer support has the power to elevate an otherwise desolate single player experience. While I can't comment on the competitive multiplayer side of things, co-op support has made many titles, like the recently launched Diablo 4, an exciting experience. No Man's Sky does, and many other games too. Therefore, many are curious as to whether Bethesda's upcoming sci-fi RPG Starfield will have multiplayer or co-op features. In this guide, let's find out if you can travel through the 1,000+ planets of Starfield with a friend, or if you simply have to rely on companions.
Is Starfield Multiplayer? Can you play Local Co-Op? Here's everything you need to know!
Ever since the reveal, players have been wondering if Starfield will allow for multiplayer in any capacity. After all, the world of Starfield is expansive, and having friends and family members with you can make the space expedition a livelier experience. Unfortunately, Starfield does not support multiplayer at launch. Bethesda has confirmed the same on numerous occasions.
With this new IP, Bethesda has been clear about one thing – Starfield is purely a sci-fi RPG for one player. It follows the principles set by its predecessors (Fallout and Elder Scrolls) and elevates the experience by introducing new features. As such, Bethesda developers wanted to focus on a single player experience. If you were wondering if the game at least has co-op support, the answer to that question is, well, the same – a BIG NO. Starfield has no cooperation opportunities.
