Add support for Starfield #1882
Description
After Starfield was first announced during E3 2018, it is now scheduled to be released on the 6th of September 2023.
Platforms:
- Windows - Standard Edition | Premium Edition
- Steam
- Game Pass
- Xbox Series X|S
There might be GOG/EGS releases planned at some point, but as far as I know this hasn't been officially talked about yet.
Minimum System Requirements:
- OS: Windows 10 version 22H2 (10.0.19045)
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel Core i7-6800K
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5700, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 125 GB available space
- Additional Notes: SSD Required
It probably might be a good idea to calculate with more than 125 GB storage space, official DLCs and mods will come on top of that.

Creation Engine 2
Starfield will be our first game to use Creation Engine 2. We've spent years developing it to power the next generation of immersion and exploration.
Starfield is build using the CE 2, which is said to be vastly improved compared to it's predecessors. There are some snippets of information floating around, but not much is known until now. We should very carefully observe everything around the CE 2, since it might mean that there are substantial differences in regards to load order as well.
Of course, besides updating the LOOT application itself, a new masterlist will need to be created, too.
Closing Thoughts:
I bought the Digital Premium Edition from Steam, as such I will have early access to it 5 days prior to the official release, and I will also get the first planned story expansion, aka DLC "Shattered Space". For testing purposes, it might be good to have a few people owning the game through the Microsoft Store, any help on this front will be welcome!
Let's see how the game will perform and get received, I'm looking forward to it.
