A brand-new Starfield deal has surfaced, offering Bethesda's space-faring RPG at its lowest price ever. However, the source of this discount—Verizon—has left many gamers scratching their heads. Unfortunately, Starfield hasn't lived up to its initial hype, currently holding mostly negative reviews as of 2025. Players have reported numerous bugs and a general lack of immersive features to make space exploration truly captivating.

Originally launched in 2023, Starfield promised an expansive open-world experience set in the Milky Way galaxy, where players could uncover mysterious artifacts. Recently, Bethesda released patch notes for the May 2025 update, focusing on quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. While the update didn’t introduce new content, it did enhance performance for lower-end PCs and addressed several gameplay issues, along with adding support for mod creators.

The latest and surprisingly affordable deal for Starfield comes from the Verizon store, where the game is priced at just $17.50 for physical Xbox Series X and S copies. This mirrors a similar Walmart deal spotted by a Starfield fan last year. With the standard price hovering around $69.99, this represents a massive 75% savings. However, the gaming community has been puzzled by Verizon—a company primarily known for mobile and internet services—offering such a deal. Given that the discount has no expiration date, interested buyers might want to act quickly before the offer disappears.

Despite the attractive price, many gamers remain unconvinced that Starfield is worth even the discounted amount, though some were swayed by the free shipping offer. Social media reactions have been mixed, with many questioning why Verizon is now selling video games. Given the game's underwhelming reception, the modding community has stepped in to fill the void, with projects like a Starfield mod adding over 300 new missions.

On a more positive note, rumors of a Starfield PlayStation 5 port arriving in 2025 have surfaced, according to a reporter who accurately predicted the port would coincide with the game’s next major expansion. Originally, the PS5 version was expected to launch alongside 2024’s Shattered Space DLC, but delays have left the gaming community eagerly awaiting updates.
