Greatness alone won’t immortalize a game in the memory of players. Do you know what it is that players will never forget? That hilarious thing that happened in your playthrough that the game clearly didn’t want to happen. Luckily,Starfieldis both agreat gameand one filled with marvelous glitches and bugs. Here’s the mandatory compilation of the best ones we’ve seen so far.
The best possible use for a jetpack
The only cool thing about a jetpack is that it allows you to imagine all the hilarious ways in which the person who puts it on will meet the Grim Reaper. Rocketeers getting stuck on walls has been a staple of slapstick comedy ever since the invention of the jetpack. Even thoughStarfieldabsolutelyshines when it comes to its physics, it doesn’t feature destructible walls capable of “housing” Boba Fett wannabees. Not intentionally, at least.

I urge the good people at Bethesda to please consider making that a feature.
The cleanest headshot you’ve ever seen
Have you ever seen a kill so clean on a video game that you wonder whether it’s the result of a glitch or the result of a perk you still haven’t found? Well, we here at Destructoid have already gatheredextensive intelregarding every build inStarfield, and I assure you that what you see below is not the result of any secret perk.
And the award for Best Death goes to….#starfield#starfieldgame#bethesda
We wish it was, though.
The glitch that accidentally achieves perfect comedic timing
Do you know how in some movies characters often look at an armed explosive, then at the camera to utter some expletive deleted before blowing up for comedic effect? You’ll have a harder time achieving that scenario in real life because the person in question would either just scream or run away. It’s even harder in most games because their scripting usually renders characters immortal during cutscenes. Cutscenes in RPGS have the same effect as a really slow roll inDark Souls.Not inStarfield,though, where triggering a cutscene may not even allow NPCs to finish their line in case an explosive happens to go off nearby.
VASCO turning into ED-209 for a second
Remember the scene in the originalRobocopwhere a supposedly good robot tells an unarmed executive to drop his weapon, then turnshim into ketchup?Starfieldhas already featured a completely unintentional PG-13 remake of that scene.
In the clip below, we see VASCO, our robotic friend, aggressively taunting an NPC that’s just having a conversation with the player. When the NPC fails to do whatever it was that the short-circuited brain of VASCO wanted it to do, it knocks out the poor NPC out of nowhere.
Space is no place for Cowboys
For a game that tries to bring the magic of the Western genre to a Sci-Fi setting,Starfieldisn’t doing that great of a job promoting the space cowboys’ gunslinging abilities.
Or maybe that’s just a special kind of Xenogrub that comes equipped with advanced bullet-deflecting tech.
The Martian in Starfield
Starfieldloves to create accidental remakes of Hollywood films.This time I’m talking about this hilarious glitch that made a player clip through a ship, leaving him stranded on a red planet. It’s just like Matt Damon on Ridley Scott’sThe Martianbut much better because it’s oh-so-much shorter.
The only way to make this video game adaptation even better would be to have it feature breakdancing space pirates.
And those are the bestStarfieldglitches I’ve seen so far. Found some that belong here? Then sound off in the comments below! Until then, I’ll see you around!
You can now go on the hunt for even funnierStarfieldglitches on Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
