In interesting news, a Starfield player managed to save himself and his family from a devastating apartment fire because he stayed up all night playing the game.
As reported by PC Gamer, on the game’s Reddit subreddit, the player details the terrifying sequence of events in a post titled “Starfield saved my life and the lives of my family.” User Tidyckilla begins the post by saying that the game “literally” saved the lives of those in her house: “On the night of August 31st, I decided to stay awake and play as long as possible to experience this new universe. At 2:26 in the morning, while playing the game, I heard an explosion from my downstairs neighbors.” “I heard it. I paused my game to see what was happening; when I opened the door, I saw flames rising from our stairwell into our apartment.”
Tidyckilla continues: “I immediately grabbed my wife and cat and took us to safety with minor burns. If I hadn’t been so engrossed in Starfield, I would have been asleep and we would have all died of smoke inhalation. I want to thank this game for saving my family and me from a terrible fate.” “
Tidyckilla thinks that the explosions she heard and the fire that quickly spread throughout the building were caused by her downstairs neighbor’s cigarette and oxygen tank.
