Starfield Shattered Space

Is There Multiplayer or Co-Op?

Starfield - Is There Multiplayer or Coop

Starfield will be a single-player only game. Read on to learn if Starfield will have multiplayer and co-op added later on, and if Starfield will have online-only features.

Is There Multiplayer or Co-Op in Starfield?

No Multiplayer or Co-Op Mode

Single Player Only
Starfield is a single-player only game, as listed on its Steam page, and will not feature multiplayer or co-op modes on launch.

Unlikely to Have Multiplayer Added Later On

There has been no confirmation of multiplayer or co-op being added into the game later on, and it is unlikely that it will happen, as Bethesda are known for keeping their single-player only games the way they are.

If the Starfield universe were to ever have multiplayer features, it'll most likely be sold as a separate game, such as Fallout 76 (Bethesda's first multiplayer game) and The Elder Scrolls Online (which was developed by another studio).

Starfield Online Features

No Online Features

No Online Features
Due to its single-player nature, Starfield will not have any online features and will be fully playable offline, only needing an internet connection to download the game.
