The game’s home screen can tell a lot about how much of a rush the team was in and how proud they were of their work.

The Starfield menu speaks of an overworked team trying to meet a deadline, or the team not giving a damn.

The post caused a lot of controversy among the players. Gamers reminded Kern that many games – dark souls, Elden Ring, god of war, The Last of Us is also a minimalist main menu, but that doesn’t make them any worse. Some have also noticed that most of the Bethesda games have almost the same menu design.

The post also caught the attention of journalists and developers, including Pete Hines, head of publishing.

The developers created such a menu as they wanted, and they came up with the look a few years ago. It was one of the first decisions the team made.

Having your own opinion is one thing. Doubting the developers’ efforts because you would have done otherwise is extremely unprofessional on the part of another “developer”.

—Pete Hines

I can’t even imagine what you want from the menu. A pile of meaningless images, like in Call of Duty MW2?! It’s a great and clean design. It would be better if they removed this information field in the top right corner.

After a while, Mark Kern announced that he would settle some of the disputes “xbox fanatics”, while leaving a message about the start menu.

Starfield will be released on September 6 for Standard Edition and Game Pass subscribers. Those who have purchased the deluxe edition will be able to play as early as September 1.
