Starfield offers players a distinct experience through its mod support, building on Bethesda's successful modding communities from previous games like Fallout 4 and Skyrim. This suggests a bright future for the game.

Starfield boasts an impressive milestone of over 1 million mod downloads. Despite still being in its early access phase, Starfield has managed to cultivate a passionate community of players who actively generate content and exchange their in-game encounters.

Within the Starfield universe, players assume the identity of a member belonging to the esteemed Constellation faction. This group of intrepid explorers embarks on a quest to uncover enigmatic relics scattered throughout the galaxy. Starfield players are granted access to a comprehensive character customization system, the ability to personalize their spacecraft, and the freedom to enhance their gaming experience through the usage of mods. Notably, one modder has gone above and beyond by introducing a DLSS mod for Starfield.

Starfield has achieved a significant milestone with over one million downloads of mods on Nexus Mods. This renowned platform is well-known for hosting a vast collection of mods for the biggest games in the industry. Currently, there are a whopping 439 mods available specifically for Starfield. On average, each Starfield mod seems to have garnered around 2,500 downloads. Among these mods, the DLSS mod stands out with over 200,000 downloads. Another popular one is "Cleanfield," which not only removes the introductory videos but also provides a streamlined and polished Starfield menu. This particular mod has been downloaded almost 30,000 times. Additionally, players exploring Nexus Mods can discover a variety of character presets, including one that adds George Costanza from Seinfeld to the world of Starfield.

Bethesda has a successful history of supporting modders in their games, as seen with Fallout 4 and Skyrim. Fallout 4, released in 2015, still maintains an active modding community with over 48,000 mods published on Nexus Mods and 1.2 billion downloads. Similarly, Skyrim, which was released over a decade ago, has a thriving modding community with 69,741 mods available on Nexus Mods and nearly 2 billion downloads.

Starfield, the latest release from Bethesda, has been highly praised by players and is living up to their high expectations. With a vast universe boasting over 1,000 planets to explore, players have plenty of content to delve into. Additionally, the game features enjoyable Easter eggs and references that make exploration even more fun. Given the current rate of mod support, fans anticipate that Starfield will have a lasting appeal similar to Bethesda's previous games.

Starfield is available now during early access and officially launches September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
