It looks like Post Malone is a big Starfield fan

The 28-year-old New York native is just like one of us - he can't wait to spend countless hours playing Bethesda's latest game.


It's not as if Starfield needed Post Malone's vote of confidence but it wouldn't hurt.

In the vast universe of gaming, there’s always that one celestial body that shines brighter than the rest. For this year, the shining star is none other than Starfield. And, the news is out โ€“ celebrities, just like us mortals, have been swept up by its interstellar appeal. The rapper, Post Malone, who got his name courtesy of a rap name generator, is one of the stars joining this gaming constellation.

Starfield, a product of the revered Bethesda, has been generating a cosmic buzz ever since its announcement in 2018. It isn’t just an RPG; it’s poised to become the RPG, especially considering Bethesda’s past masterpieces. Remember a time when we were all enthralled by the majestic landscapes of Skyrim? Well, Starfield promises to take that legacy forward, and this time, in outer space.

Now, imagine you’ve waited for seven arduous hours under the unforgiving sun, all for a chance to interact with your favorite celebrity. You approach Post Malone, your heart pounding, and get a chance to ask him one burning question. Kate, a devoted fan, found herself in this exact scenario. Instead of a typical fan query, Kate asked him about Starfield. Without missing a beat, Malone, with his characteristic enthusiasm, replied, “F**k yeah, I’m gonna play the sh*t out of Starfield!”

Although he’s on tour, the “Rockstar” singer is all prepped up with a “cool lil’ rig” to indulge in the game. It’s delightful and somewhat reassuring to know that celebrities, in their surreal lives, share our humble passions. The Witcher’s Henry Cavill, a staunch PC gamer, also comes to mind. Our stars, it seems, are just as game-obsessed as us.

Gamers and reviewers alike have eagerly waited to get their hands on Starfield review codes and it seems like they’ve gotten their hands on copies earlier than expected.

From Rand Al Thor19, the Xbox enthusiast, to OJ from PlayerEssence, and Gene Park of the Washington Post, the former Twitterverse is chirping. Some are already deep into the game at this point, and who knows? Maybe Post Malone knows something we don’t – it certainly wouldn’t be the first time that celebrities got first dibs on games.

The way that people are talking about Starfield makes you think that it’s the best game ever – and it could very well be.

Starfield’s allure isn’t confined to its expansive universe, teeming with alien life and gargantuan cities like New Atlantis. It’s the promise of adventure and the unexpected – though, with Bethesda, we also expect a bug or two. Given the game and its vastness, with entire planetary systems awaiting exploration, a glitch here and there is but a minor hiccup in an otherwise mesmerizing experience.

While Starfield is all set for a grand launch in September, the journey leading to its launch has been just as exciting. No doubt lingers about the fact that once the game hits the shelves, it’s going to be a colossal event, not just for gamers, but for everyone.

In a world where the lines between reality and the digital realm blur, where an RPG is not just a game but an experience, Starfield promises to be a supernova. Just as Kate waited hours to interact with Post Malone, gamers worldwide are waiting for D-day, ready to dive into the unknown.

Recent history about extremely hyped games tells you to be cautious but it’s difficult not to feel as excited about the game when it’s all everyone can seem to talk about.

So, as you gear up for the game to come out, ensure your rig or Xbox is Starfield-ready. Clear up storage space, preload if you must, and let’s journey through the stars together. Here’s hoping we, along with Post Malone, have a celestial gaming experience.

At the end of the day, we should all be thankful that Starfield is coming out in the same year as Baldur’s Gate 3, which is another generation-defining game.
