Bethesda is known for making some of the most immersive RPG games ever. This is thanks to the in-depth mechanics and worldbuilding. Still, some players want to take these things further and add a layer of realistic challenge. Veterans who’ve played games from this studio know that Survival Mode is a key aspect for those who want to manage their character’s hunger, thirst, and other needs. Given the scope and size of Starfield, many wonder if the game will include a Survival Mode at launch. In this guide, we’ll tell you everything we know about this highly-requested feature.
Will Starfield Have Survival Mode at Launch?
As of now, Starfield won’t have survival mode at launch. While it is a highly-requested feature, and it might come later down the line, the game doesn’t feature this difficulty mode. This might be a blow for many looking to take immersion to a new level. This doesn’t mean the game won’t be challenging. So far, this title has five difficulty options, which go from very easy to very hard. Each one will let players tailor their gaming experience in different ways. While none of them will have the features we expect from Survival Mode, they’ll be challenging in their own way, nonetheless.

Even if Starfield doesn’t have a Survival Mode at launch, that doesn’t mean it won’t arrive in the future. Many Bethesda games have received this mode as a DLC, which means we might see it whenever the first expansion releases or earlier. This is speculation, though, as nothing has been set in stone or announced by the developers. Hopefully, we’ll get news regarding this difficulty option because Starfield is a survivalist’s playground, and managing certain aspects like hunger to temperature in the game’s planets will be fun.
Starfield is available now on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
