Reddit user ReverendRoo recently shared several screenshots highlighting theirStarfieldglitch. In the images, ReverendRoo is flying aroundtheStarfielduniversein their spaceship. With each image showing it at a different angle, ReverendRoo is followed closely by an asteroid. The asteroid continues to follow ReverendRoo throughStarfieldloading screens. This is illustrated by the different planets the two are spotted next to. According to ReverendRoo, they’ve failed to shake the asteroid after 30 hours of gameplay. Based on the feedback to ReverendRoo, they’re far from the firstStarfieldplayer to encounter this asteroid bug.
OtherStarfieldplayers have reported more than one asteroid tailing them, with the potential to gain up to six rock followers. AsStarfieldalready struggles to runon some gaming rigs, this bug can cause performance problems. According to someStarfieldfans, the glitch affecting this player can cause Xbox Series X/S crashes, but the asteroids can be removed through PC console commands. While none of the images show the asteroid hitting ReverendRoo’s customStarfieldship, it could do some damage if the two collided. Based on the asteroid’s size, it may only chip into the spaceship’s shields, but it could be a hazard if ReverendRoo has low hull integrity.
Because of the quality of images and the fact thatStarfieldhas a photo mode, it’s likely that ReverendRoo used the feature to showcase the glitch. Though theStarfieldasteroid seems to have physics like most in-game items, it’s currently unclear whether this is a visual bug or something deeper. Given that fans have spotted the bug on Xbox Series X/S, a futureStarfieldupdate may resolve the issue.
Starfieldis available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
