And a lot of gamers can point to the first-party exclusive games as the main reason. Sony sold almost 8 million units of its console in merely half a year since its release. The PlayStation 5 seems to be a lot more popular for this generation, and there's no denying that. The game will rely heavily on portraying believable space propulsion and exploration tech, which made Musk the perfect high-profile adviser. What this means is that players can expect little to none of those common space travel tropes in sci-fi-no warp drives, no hyperspace, and no faster-than-light travel. Musk's involvement makes sense because "Starfield" is planned to be a "realistic" space RPG. And they actually did, in a live panel two years ago. Given Musk's recent space exploration escapades, it's only right that Bethesda and Todd Howard pick the multi-billionaire's brain. For one, it was actually revealed earlier this year that SpaceX founder Elon Musk advised on the game. It was announced alongside the enigmatic "Elder Scrolls VI," though, unlike the latter, "Starfield" did have a tiny amount of info about it.
The game was first teased with a short reveal back in 2018. That's a really long time, especially in an industry where three years is already considered an eternity.
