Both, mainly on Xbox on my home theater. Going to sound amazing with that score!
I sit at my PC all week for work. But will definitely move between both if cross saves are working

Personal preference for first person, menu heavy games is mouse and keyboard soooo PC. Frame rate is secondary.

Pc for sure!!

Cannot wait for all the mods etc. Should be fine with my 5700x and 3070 + 32gb ram :)

I just replayed Skyrim with mods. I ain't gonna play vanilla Starfield. Nah uh.
Weird.

Wouldnt the vanilla game give you a good comparison point to eventual modded playthroughs?

The game should be great nonetheless. Its been in polish state for a year

Primarily on my PC. I just built a new fairly high end rig, and I am hoping to be able to run.it at high framerates with Gsync.

It will also be installed on the Xbox in the living room, which does have the nicer TV attached, but mostly my wife plays out there.

Mostly on my 4090 pc. But occasionally will play on Xbox in living room. The game should support cross saves on gamepass yea?
Can’t find any info about Play Anywhere on Starfield, not listed on the MS Store. So don’t expect it until they say something about it. Have other Bethesda games been Play Anywhere?

For Bethesda games PC is always the way to go for mods etc. Also don't have a Xbox so PC by default.

I chose both, but now I'm actually not sure what I'll do. Thinking about it, I'll probably begin on Xbox, and only move to PC if it's good enough that I decide I'm all in.

I'm aiming for Series X. I may try it on my PC but it's a bit long in the tooth, though it does still surprise me on some games the specs say I shouldn't be running.

I'm surprised to see my PC meets minimum requirements (I assumed it wouldn't), so I guess I'll play it on PC if I do play it, since I don't own an Xbox and don't want to buy one just for this game. Or maybe I'll wait for a few good exclusives to pile up on the Xbox, then buy a console. I'm not in any hurry to play Starfield. It looks interesting, but I'm not in the mood for a massive open-world 200 hour extravaganza at the moment.

Bethesda games for me spiritually belong on PC and also I don't have or want an Xbox.
 
I wanted to buy a series S maybe but most likely an X for this sucker just to have all 3 consoles but 30 FPS-gate tided me over to PC. Gaf already told me to go PC since I think of mods as essential. I don't have a PC yet tho... will only invest in one if I cannot skip Starfield.

XSX for me. I moved away from Windows PC about 8 years ago and went full Mac for work & leasure. Didn't want to keep building gaming PCs, overcloking CPUs, etc like I did for the 15 years or so before that. The XSX (my first MS console and we'll see if it's the last) is now my "PC" for MS exclusives. So far I'm happy with it. Modding support is surprisingly good too compared with Sony's, which is far more limiting than MS for security reasons. Modst PC mods end up on the Xbox, which is nice. A pitty that not more developers follow Bethesda's example on the console space.

I'll say PC but realistically I will be playing a bunch of fifa (ahem ea fc) instead. So I'll get to starfield at some point next year.

Too bad the poll doesn't ask for PC version: Steam or MS Store Windows.

Fair point. Think the gme will run on steam deck?

Run? Yeah, probably. Run well?

I'll be playing on Series X for the time being, but if I get a new gaming PC in the future I'll probably switch to that.

On PC, probably next year, when it's on sale and with lots of mods. Too much games on my backlog already to justify a full price game right now. And no, gamepass isn't for me.
