Starfield failed to become a long-running hit on the level of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. However, Bethesda Game Studios' game still has fans who create various modifications. In September 2026 — 1108 days after its release — fans celebrated a new milestone in the project's history.
Recently, the total number of Starfield mod downloads surpassed 200 million. This is the tenth game to cross this download threshold (or eleventh, if original TES V: Skyrim and Special are counted as different games).
User Starfield noted that Starfield became “the fifth fastest game to reach [200 million downloads] after Skyrim/Skyrim SE, BG3, Fallout 4, and Cyberpunk. All these games, with the exception of Cyberpunk, reached the 200 million mark in less than 600 days.”
Among the most popular mods (by number of downloads) for Starfield are:
- StarUI Inventory — for improving inventory-related screens
- Baka Achievement Enabler — this mod allows players to earn achievements while playing with mods
- Neutral LUTs - No Color Filters — removes color filters from the main game and DLC
