Star Wars Modlist Obliterates Starfield: Players Ditch Bethesda Game for Fan Overhaul Amid Ongoing Sales Slump

🚨 BETHESDA’S $1B DISASTER ERASED BY ONE MODDER… STARFIELD DELETED IN HUMILIATING RAGE! 💥🤡

Gamers are MASS DELETING Starfield after a SINGLE MOD turns it into the ULTIMATE Star Wars RPG – lightsabers, Tatooine, Empire vs Rebels! Better than ANY official SW game? Bethesda’s empire CRUMBLES as unpaid heroes expose their FAILURES…

Is this the DEATH of Bethesda? Todd Howard in TEARS? You WON’T believe what’s next… 👀

In a stunning rebuke to Bethesda Game Studios, players are uninstalling Starfield en masse after installing “Star Wars Genesis,” a colossal 250GB modlist that transforms the 2023 space RPG into what many call the “greatest Star Wars game ever made.” The free fan project, curated by modder DeityVengy, has gone viral in January 2026, sparking widespread claims that it “deletes” the vanilla game by rendering it unplayable.

Starfield, Bethesda’s ambitious “Skyrim in space” that launched to mixed reviews and peaked at over 330,000 concurrent Steam players, now limps along with just 3,500-4,000 daily users as of mid-January 2026. Critics panned its empty planets, repetitive quests, and technical issues, with sales reportedly under 15 million copies despite a $1-2 billion budget tied to Microsoft’s acquisition. YouTuber Qwazar77 captured the sentiment in a viral rant: “The only way to save Starfield was to delete it and make a new game,” pointing to Genesis as proof modders outshine Bethesda.

Genesis isn’t a simple reskin. Hosted at genesismodlist.com and Nexus Mods, the modlist bundles 300+ mods into a one-click installer via a Wabbajack-style tool, compatible with Mod Organizer 2 for stability and achievement support. It overhauls every aspect: Star Wars dialogue replaces vanilla lines (fully voiced), quests become Imperial vs. Rebel campaigns, planets morph into Tatooine, Geonosis, and Mos Eisley with cantinas and Millennium Falcon ships. Players customize alien species, start as Stormtroopers or Rebel pilots, wield blasters, and chase artifacts in a cohesive storyline – all while retaining Starfield’s core engine for seamless exploration.

“YouTubers like Synth Potato hail it as ‘insane’ – 250GB that changes EVERYTHING,” notes X user @SynthPotato, whose clip amassed 90K likes. Luke Stephens tried it: “A legit Star Wars RPG with custom-built quests.” Kevduit added: “WAY more than you thought – open-ended RPG bliss.” Habie147 called it “awe-inspiring,” far beyond reskins. GameSpot echoed: “Makes Starfield really fun.”

The “deletion” trend? Players wipe vanilla installs post-Genesis, as base content feels soulless. “Unpaid modders made a better game than two AAA studios,” blasts @SeverusChud. Reddit’s r/Starfield buzzes: “Genesis saved Starfield – vanilla deleted.” X posts flood with reinstall stories: “Bought Starfield for this mod alone.” One user: “Starfield with Genesis > Star Wars Outlaws.”

Bethesda’s humiliation stings deeper. Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC flopped, and updates are sparse – latest in late 2025. Modders like DeityVengy deliver what Bethesda couldn’t: a passionate SW RPG amid Jedi Survivor’s backlash and Outlaws’ middling reception. “Modders carry Bethesda,” X’s @DAKKADAKKA1 snarks, tying it to talent drain post-Starfield flop. Qwazar77 rips: “Bethesda hires modders, turns them talentless.”

Xbox users fume – Genesis is PC-only due to Creations’ limits on modlists. PureXbox reports: Creator says “never coming to Xbox.” “Xbox PC app kills modding,” gripes @AVGN82.

Steam Hardware Surveys show mid-tier rigs dominate – Genesis demands beefy PCs (RTX 3070+ recommended). Yet downloads soar: Nexus page exploded post-viral clips. X trends: #StarWarsGenesis, with @TheGameVerse’s clip at 21K likes.

Bethesda stays silent, but shadows loom. Creation Kit released in 2024, yet modders bypassed it for total overhauls. Fears mount for Elder Scrolls 6 (2028?) and Fallout 5: “If modders save Starfield, what about ES6?” wonders @ZANEJWICKMAN. Ex-devs warn of “hateful comments” if it merely matches Skyrim.

Optimists see hope: Genesis proves Starfield’s engine potential. “Hire DeityVengy,” pleads @Stumblinz. TrendForce notes modding sustains old titles; Bethesda leans on it. But X’s @ZeroShift7 laments: “Starfield sucks without mods.”

As 2026 unfolds, Genesis isn’t just a mod – it’s a manifesto. Players flock, vanilla dies, Bethesda sweats. “Modders > Bethesda,” declares the chorus. Will Microsoft intervene? Or is this the spark for real innovation?
