Starfield, one of Bethesda’s most expansive RPGs, transports you on an interstellar adventure. But does it allow you to explore the space alongside your friends? Here’s everything you need to know about multiplayer or co-op in Starfield.

Bethesda’s Starfield is easily one of the biggest game launches of 2023. The game offers a vast galaxy teeming with numerous planets, unique factions, captivating NPCs, and engaging quests that players can undertake using a range of customizable spaceships.

However, one question that has popped up several times since the game’s announcement is whether it supports multiplayer.

So, here’s what you should know about multiplayer or co-op functionality in Starfield.

Does Starfield have multiplayer?

Unfortunately, Starfield is not a multiplayer game and is strictly limited to single-player mode only. Bethesda don’t plan on adding a multiplayer or co-op mode to their latest open-world game right now.

Bethesda have indeed released multiplayer games in the past, such as Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online. When it comes to their single-player RPGs like Fallout 4 or Skyrim, however, they’ve never added multiplayer or co-op features.

Modders, on the other hand, could eventually make a multiplayer mod for Starfield. You can now play Morrowind, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and New Vegas in multiplayer thanks to mods. So it’s only a matter of time before someone adds multiplayer to Bethesda’s latest space-exploration RPG.

That was everything we know about Starfield’s multiplayer status. For more on Starfield, be sure to check out our other guides:
