Will Starfield have multiplayer?

No, Starfield will not have multiplayer. The game will strictly be a single-player experience at launch.

None of the mainline Elder Scrolls and Fallout games have included official multiplayer features in the past however, the developers have branched out into multiplayer territory in more recent years with the likes of the Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76.

Based on their more recent history with multiplayer games, the possibility of multiplayer being added to Starfield at some point can’t be ruled out, however at the time of writing Bethesda hasn’t confirmed whether or not co-op could be added to the game in the future but as soon as there’s any official news, we’ll be sure to update this page.
