Fake Starfield leaks continue to keep community on its toes as fabricated spoilers hit social media
The long-awaited Starfield release is finally near after years of development and delays, sending anticipation levels among fans to a fever pitch. What could be worse, then, than having something that you’ve waited so long to play spoiled? The threat of leaks currently has the community on its toes.

As ever, leaks around major games are common. and are some of the more recent, and other big releases of 2023 like and also had their fair share. As such, it’s always worth muting certain keywords as they appear on social media or more generally keeping an eye out as one of your most-anticipated games nears. It might mean missing a leak, or, at the very least, someone trying to waste your time.
