Starfield's Star Wars Genesis Mod is available to play now, and it's technically free

Gamers longing for a new original Star Wars the story is currently available for download Starfieldpp Star Wars Genesis review mod collection for free, provided they own the base game and fragmented space DLC. The effort that has gone into this total transformation Starfield mod is pretty absurd, and it should scratch everyone's itch Star Wars hell in the absence of new official games.

As a Bethesda game, it was inevitable that players would mod Starfield heavily. The modding potential of the game made it easier for many to overlook some of the sins of the original game, knowing that they would soon be fixed by talented modders. A space RPG from Bethesda was always going to be a great canvas for modders to work on. It may not have found early success in the same vein Skyrim and its modding community, but there are still years for this to change in the future. Players have already started getting some really ambitious mods for the game, for example Starfield mod that adds 300 quests. Long may it continue.

Starfield's Star Wars overhaul is here and it looks incredible

Star Wars Genesis is a total conversion project made for Starfieldwhich combines hundreds of mods to provide a completely fresh Star Wars experience. When all is said and done, Starfield barely recognizable – everything from the characters, HUD, props, worlds, vehicles, enemies and music are completely transformed, leaving very little of the base game intact. Even the main story gets an overhaul, and it's now a plot of a Yuuzhan Vong invasion. According to the project's website, “Star Wars Genesis is developed with a gameplay-first philosophy. The goal is an immersive RPG with a unique story and an expansive endgame, rather than a re-skin of Starfield with the same flaws.” That's pretty absurd Starfield mod project in its massive ambition, where players can “spend exploring Tattooine like a drifter” one moment, and “stumble upon a forgotten Clone Wars battlefield and loot authentic Clone Trooper armor” the next.

Star Wars Genesis is installed via Wabbajack, making the process quite simple. It costs nothing, of course, otherwise the project's creators would very quickly face the wrath of Disney's lawyers. But players need to own the base Starfield the game, as well as its fragmented space expansion, so those who don't already have it will need to grab it before they can play Star Wars Genesis. It's pretty heavy on the system requirements, too – gamers will need 250GB of storage to install this collection, rising to 315GB if they want to play with the optional HD overhaul. The creator claims it Star Wars Genesis never coming to the xbox version of Starfielddue to Xbox Series X/S's 100GB mod limit, so it's PC exclusive.

It doesn't seem like players need to worry about Star Wars Genesis taken down anytime soon. The creator points to others Star Wars fan projects in other games that have survived the test of time, followed copyright laws, and avoided a takedown notice. They even say that they “have received express permission from LucasFilm directly for many of the music tracks included in my Star Wars Music and Ambience Overhaul mod, included in this mod list,” including music from “classic Star Wars games such as VERTEBRAE I/II, SWTORand Force Unleashed.” Of course, this is always a problem with huge total conversion mods like this, but it shouldn't be the case here.
