Starfield's Final Quest Added Last Minute Amid Development Challenges

The game's massive team size and rushed development led to a last-minute, dimension-hopping conclusion for the epic RPG.

Starfield's final quest was a last-minute addition, featuring a dimension-hopping ending that was crucial for the game's conclusion.
The game's development team cited a massive team size of over 500 people as a key challenge, affecting collaboration and the timely completion of tasks.
Starfield, launched in September 2023, has been praised for its exploration freedom but criticized for its rushed final quest among other issues.
The final quest's creation was spearheaded by senior-level designer Steve Cornett, who was referred to as the 'panic button' for his crucial contributions.
Despite the challenges, Starfield hit 10 million players shortly after release, though it experienced a significant drop-off as players awaited the first expansion.
