Building upon the success of large open-world RPG games like the Elder Scrolls and Fallout, Bethesda seems to have taken 'one giant leap for mankind' with their latest game, creating their most expansive world yet. The RPG space game doesn't skimp on details with not just a plethora of planets but dozens of solar systems waiting to be discovered by players.

A Lucky Find

One such discovery turned out to be less of a glitch and more of an unexpected solar eclipse for a player navigating through space in their ship. The initial assumption was that the graphics were 'glitching out' when, in fact, they had come across a solar eclipse.

The player discovered the phenomenon when their spaceship hovered in front of an unnamed planet shadowed by a nearby celestial body. This exciting occurrence prompted responses from other players with one commenting, 'Oh man, I had no idea that could happen. That's awesome.' Another noted how the orbits are one of many remarkable game details that might not get noticed by most players.

Unveiling Space History

Starfield players have a wealth of space exploration history to uncover in the detailed universe of the game, including locating the final resting site of the historical Opportunity rover when landing on Mars. This kind of immersive experience has helped Starfield retain its player-engagement, even amidst its initial mediocre review scores.
