Bethesda’s upcoming Starfield promises a unique experience to players, and Microsoft is scurrying to hold up their end of the bargain. The tech giant had promised greater localization for regional players, but so far they don’t seem to be delivering on those words. Many fans have alleged that Microsoft should put more effort to let more regional language speakers be a part of a journey like Starfield.

The Xbox Showcase revealed the grand scope of Starfield. However, fans were disappointed over the lack of regional language support of the game. The scenario puts Microsoft’s goals of reaching two billion players around the globe under serious debate.

Microsoft may be throwing a bucket of water over Bethesda’s ambitions

Fans have patiently waited for more than six months to learn more about the ambitious upcoming release of Bethesda’s magnum opus. The Xbox Showcase saw Bethesda confirm a ton of new materials and details of the Starfield universe including its cities, planetary systems, and some major factions. With “over 1,00 planets across 100 star systems” Starfield promises to take players into a space where they can find their true calling.

The highlights of Starfield make it look to be the most ambitious Microsoft exclusive video game in a long time. However, as fans got to know about Microsoft’s promises of subtitles available in only nine languages, they could not contain their disappointment. Fans of Bethesda and Microsoft alike everywhere came forward with petitions to request developers to give the fans a greater chance to be a part of a journey as unique as Starfield.

Call to action made by gamers around the world

Ahead of the launch of the game, Microsoft has already announced that Xbox players can only be able to play the game with the fixed frame rate of 30FPS. This has already irked fans to a great length, who have claimed that such a restriction is uncalled for, even though Microsoft maintains the default settings would provide players with the best experience.

With such imposed limitations already in place, fans were understandably disappointed with the regional language support revelations. Long-time Microsoft and Bethesda fans from Korea to the Arabic world have claimed that they make up a significant portion of the global gaming community. This makes Microsoft’s attempt to cater to its fans weak in nature.

Mass signed petitions are being extensively circulated to gather support that requests Microsoft to broaden its horizons and acknowledge more regional language-speaking groups through their releases. As Microsoft looks to fulfill its goal to reach 2 billion in community strength, it remains to be seen if the company rises up to the occasion or falls short.
