Players have discovered a small tribute in the game after a fan excited to play Starfield passed away earlier this year.
There are a lot of references and homages to all sorts of things in Starfield, but players have already discovered a very simple but sweet one. Earlier this year, a Reddit user by the name of Alex Hay shared a post noting he won’t be able to play Starfield, due to lung cancer, having entered palliative care around the time the new release date was announced. Hay unfortunately passed away in March, as shared by simoncroberts, presumably a friend of Hay’s, in the comments of the post. But a fan on the Starfield subreddit has found a short note paying tribute to Hay. Related: Starfield Early Access: What You Need to Know Before You Dive In
“To all my friends and fellow explorers. I’m always with you, out there in the Starfield,” reads the note simply titled “Alex Hay’s Note,” finishing with “Love always, Alex Hay.” It’s short, but touching, and I’m sure it will mean a lot to Hay’s friends and family. The note is quite easy to find, you just need to enter the Eye and you’ll find it immediately on the right.
