Starfield is arguably the most-awaited title for 2023. Furthermore, Xbox is marketing the Bethesda title at an extensive level. From a special constellation edition to pre-loads starting soon, Xbox is not leaving any stone unturned. But sometimes Xbox does not even have to spend a penny on the marketing of the title.

While space enthusiasts are calling it a black hole sucking a galaxy in, Xbox has something else in mind. Xbox Game Pass account tweeted out, “Turns out we didn’t find all the Riddler trophies.” With this, they were referencing the Batman: Arkham Knight game.
