Todd Howard: ‘Most of my Starfield play has been on Xbox Series S’
The game’s director says his kids won’t let him play on the Series X
Starfield game director Todd Howard says he’s been playing the upcoming RPG on Xbox Series S.
Speaking at a ‘What Next For Gaming’ event, Howard revealed that Series S has become his most used Xbox console, although not entirely out of choice.
“I got an X and S when they came out,” Howard revealed to the assembled media. “I put the X in the basement with the big 4K TV.

“My kids don’t let [me play it]… they’re always on it. So the S is upstairs… and [the game] looks great.”
Xbox chief Phil Spencer then quipped: “We can see where Todd is in the pecking order.”
Howard responded: “It looks great. But technically, most of my Starfield play has been on Series S within my family.”
Starfield is Xbox’s biggest release of the generation so far, and is the latest major game from Fallout and Elder Scrolls developer Bethesda Game Studios.
The title received an extended gameplay look as part of the Xbox Games Showcase, and will be released on September 6 on Xbox Series X/S and PC.
The game’s special editions were also officially revealed following the presentation.
The $70 standard version of Starfield, which includes the base game, will also be available via Xbox Game Pass.
