Starfield won’t be released until September, but that didn’t stop Bethesda’s game from receiving the first age rating. A surprising verdict?
According to the Australian Classification Commission, which rates films, publications and video games, the upcoming RPG Starfield deserved a R-rated. In practice, this means that at At launch, the Bethesda game will not be suitable for those under 18.
So what’s in the game that made the referees decide to give it such a high rating? Sex, hectoliters of blood? Vulgarities that would shame the homeless? GOOD the primary factor determining the rating was, whatever that means, “interactive drug use.”
However, that doesn’t mean Starfield will lack the aforementioned elements. Well, except maybe sex… we cannot count on love affairs with aliens. (although the lack of intimate scenes in a Bethesda game isn’t surprising). According to the report of the commission Light nudity, strong violence and vulgarity will appear in the game..
The Aussie rating also caused some confusion, as we learned in the same report that the title was heading to console… Xbox One. However, this is likely just a bug. The long-awaited RPG is coming to PC and, contrary to what the Australian Ratings Board thinks, only to Xbox Series X/S consoles on September 6, 2023.
