Despite being less than two months away, the wait for Bethesda’s Starfield feels like it’s going on forever. Signs of life are starting to show though as super-investigators on the internet have noticed the big Xbox players playing a new build right on Xbox Live.

A deep dive revealed an amazing amount of features and mechanics such as shipbuilding, space hacking, romance NPCs, and the finest glimpse of what the internet calls ‘space magic’.

Not just Spencer. Both he and Bethesda Senior Vice President Pete Hines have publicly viewable Xbox Live profiles and both have the game visible in their recent history.

This was spied on by an eagle-eyed Reddit user Cyberrakan And post it in the sub game. Fans in the comments expressed their jealousy, most of them sarcastic.

It should be noted that demo versions of games are usually masked with codenames or intentionally kept offline. This could be a hint that what Spencer and Haynes have their hands on is close to the final design of the title.

Bethesda and Xbox have expressed great confidence in polishing the game’s release version. It’s likely that these heavyweights within the corporate structures of both companies make sure that the trust is in good standing.
