Most of us are guilty of indulging in a bit of fun Bethesda criticism. Regardless, seeing someone — an ex-WoW dev, no less — claiming that Starfield’s simple start screen pointed toward either lazy developers or a rushed development strikes many as just too silly. Complain about Bethesda all you want, but it’s weird to doubt the studio’s ability to produce gorgeous landscapes. Just look at Starfield’s wallpapers — yes, those are still a thing! Many of them have been out long before the game’s start screen.
Humankind doesn’t care about having a sick PC wallpaper as much as it once did. Still, many Bethesda fans have been following the company since back when one’s wallpaper was an important personal statement. There’s a high probability that a lot of current Starfield fans will care about having a really cool-looking desktop background, so let’s help them find one.
5. The MCU wallpaper

Want something that looks straight out of Disney’s next blockbuster? Then “A Journey Through Space“, the first Starfield poster Bethesda ever put out, is the one for you.
4. The explorer wallpaper

This one is for people who like to have their feet on the ground and be able to marvel at the more terrestrial landscapes Bethesda has conjured.
3. The “Starfield is mysterious like Mass Effect” wallpaper

My personal favorite thing about Bethesda games has always been getting to explore mysterious and eerie shrines that the developers put there just to creep me out. Starfield has no shortage of these.
2. The “Check out my Utopia” wallpaper

New Atlantis is just gorgeous, but so are most of Starfield’s settlements.
1. The “I come from a Capitalist society of the past. Is it even legal to be looking at something this pretty without paying for it?” wallpaper

Yes, yes it is.
Don’t find any of these wallpapers impressive enough? Well, those are just Bethesda’s official promo releases that you can get here. More demanding photographers can take David’s cue and take some gorgeous screenshots to make their own wallpapers. Yes, on top of the many things it does right, Starfield also doubles as one of the best photography simulators I’ve ever seen.
