A Starfield enthusiast has recently stumbled upon a location within the game that instantly takes you back to the serene yet rugged beauty of Skyrim. The expansive universe of Starfield, which spans over 1,000 planets across more than 100 star systems, has many hidden gems, but few resonate with gamers quite like this particular spot.
Starfield hit the shelves in 2023 after an intensive eight-year development journey and quickly became a topic of debate. Critically, it has been well-received, boasting an average score of 85 on OpenCritic, but opinions vary widely among players. While some players appreciate the game’s sprawling universe and the freedom to explore, others feel that the open world falls short, largely due to its reliance on procedurally generated settings that lack the distinctive charm found in Bethesda’s previous masterpieces like Skyrim.
A player, known by the handle cmidgi, uncovered a locale on Muphrid IV that truly channels Skyrim’s spirit. This rocky and temperate planet within the Muphrid system features striking landscapes reminiscent of Skyrim’s iconic beauty, with its lakes, snow, and towering mountains. Cmidgi took to the community to share pictures of their freshly built outpost, though the exact landing site remains a mystery. To help others experience the same awe-inspiring scene, another player suggested targeting “Mountains (Coast)” areas. This find quickly became a hit, garnering nearly 950 upvotes from impressed community members who also mentioned Gamma Vulpes I as another wonderfully picturesque location.
Despite its presence in the gaming world for a while, Starfield continues to offer surprises to its players. Case in point: a devoted fan recently discovered the ability to spin globes after logging a staggering 1,200 hours of gameplay. This small detail delighted the game’s community when shared on social media.
On the horizon, players can look forward to more from Bethesda, as the company hinted at new Starfield content slated for a 2025 release. Although some, like the Shattered Space DLC, have had mixed receptions, other updates—such as the addition of a land-based vehicle—have been warmly received by fans.
Currently, Starfield is available on PC and Xbox, but PlayStation 5 owners might have something to look forward to. There are whispers that a PS5 release is imminent, especially after the PlayStation logo briefly appeared in the list of supported platforms on the Bethesda Creation Kit website before being mysteriously removed. That said, it’s wise to hold off on celebrations until we get an official confirmation.
