Starfield Players Are Having Issues Unlocking One Early Game Achievement

Summary

SomeStarfieldplayers have taken to social media to report issues with unlocking one of the game’s earliest achievements. The peculiar problem appears to affect both theSteam and Xbox Game Pass versions ofStarfield.

WithStarfieldhitting six million playerswithin a day of its full-fledged release, Bethesda’s space-faring RPG already seized the title of the biggest launch in the studio’s history. However, more than a quarter of the game’s player base on Xbox consoles and PC Game Pass hasn’t yet unlocked the For All, Into the Starfield achievement over a week since that milestone. For context, the said trophy is awarded for entering space for the first time, hence usually requiring no more than an hour to unlock. 13.3% ofStarfieldowners on Steam are also lacking the same achievement as of September 14.

While those figures might imply thatStarfieldfailed to capture a significant chunk of the players who gave it a go, it would appear that the aforementioned percentages are skewed by a bug. That’s according to multiple fans who have recently taken to Reddit to claim that they never managed to unlock what’s meant to be the game’s introductory achievement. Their reports arrived in response to a post from Reddit user Chonph wondering how one-quarter of the RPG’s non-Steam player base still hasn’t used a spacecraft in a game about space exploration.

While the claims of this achievement being bugged came from both PC Game Pass and Steam users, no purported Xbox console owners have yet taken online to share a similar experience. This state of affairs implies that the issue is exclusive to PC and hence possibly also affects the Windows Store version ofStarfield.

And though the exact scope of the reported bug remains unclear, this sort of problem is usually an easy enough fix for any given developer. The space-faring RPG already received two updates since the turn of the month, with the latestpatch bumpingStarfieldto version 1.7.29. Bethesda’s support track record suggests that many more updates are likely to follow, so one of them will hopefully address this apparent issue with the For All, Into the Starfield achievement.

Some of the game’s PC players might also be missing the trophy because they used console commands or mods, both of which disable achievements by default. However, that behavior can easily be side-stepped withStarfieldmods that re-enable achievements, of which there are currently two.

Starfieldis available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
