Irrespective of whether he has Insiders or not, this is (and I think he's said something to this effect) probably just a reasonable thing to assume about a game without a firm 2021 release date, and even a lot of games with a firm 2021 release date. Pandemic innit

Jason Schreier doesn’t expect Starfield to release in 2021 (clarifies: doesn’t expect most games to hit 2021 dates)
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
I feel like we collectively hyped ourselves for a 2021 release , only to be disappointed when sanity prevailed!
Dissapointing yet understandable. No one needs another rushed AAA RPG after Cyberpunk. Take your time.
I take everything 'insiders' say with a grain of salt these days. They are more often wrong then not, take this week for example. Supposed to be a jam packed week of gaming megatons...right ?
It may come out this year, it may not. Either way we will know in a few weeks.

Yes and there was no reason not to other than the pandemic.
It's been many years and it wouldn't be the first time we get a Bethesda game revealed and released soon after.
That just means he doesn't get the party line from the horses mouth. Jasons contacts are all embittered developers, not PR flacks. Probably. Maybe. He certainly gets more interesting stories.
This. A gameplay trailer is more than enough for 2021, for me.
Just assume that all your hopes and dreams for 2021 have died and that real life won't restart until 2022 and you'll not be far wrong.
If true it just means MS will blow more money securing AAA gamepass titles for Gamepass, so it's a win, win.
There's no way the first big game from this deal is going to be a buggy mess that they crunch to hit Christmas.
I think everyone but the most optimistic fans already called this. It's rare to see a game release within a year of the first footage shown. It's even rarer to see a game release within 6 months of the first footage shown. And we haven't seen any footage yet.
I enjoy talking about games, and I enjoy talking about upcoming games, but there is a cut off.
If there is literally no substance or content released to talk about, and all we have is a logo...it exists in a "Future hopes, dreams and promises" bucket, and I don't care. Or at least, I care as much about it as the next Half Life game, or what Insomniac are making 2 games from now.
Even Eldan Ring has shown/leaked SOMETHING, and I'm not expecting it any time soon.

In 2021, assume that no release dates or windows are certain
A friendly PSA from your friendly press sneak fuck: if you see headlines like "Halo Infinite delayed out of 2021???" or "Jason Schreier says BOTW2 coming this fall?!?!?!" or really anything involving game release dates that are more than a month or two away, ignore them. During the pandemic...

Disappointing if true. Does that mean Series X/S will have just Halo Infinite as a major exclusive im 2021? I still hope for some surprises on E3. But if we're once again asked to "keep expectations in check" and that "Game Pass is the exclusive" - I'll be very disappointed.
But, let's wait and see. I'm still hopeful.

Yeah this year has been a wash for new releases mostly and I'm not expecting it to pick up massively for the rest of 2021. Hoping E3 delivers a few nice surprises at least.
Yeah, the only thing that started this stupid 2021 thing was 'Microsoft want it out in 2021'.
It's nice to want. Bethesda will finish it when it's finished.
I'm going to assume any game that doesn't have at least 2 different gameplay trailers is more than a year out.
It is a Bethesda game, so it will release 2 years after it is sold to consumers.
Just like Sony wants GoW 2 in 2021, just like they wanted UC 4 in 2015, and how MS wanted Halo in 2020. I don't even know why people pay attention to 'wants'.

Perhaps not a huge surprise, although would have made a really good holiday line up for Series X. Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 should be enough to keep the sales hype going though.
We're heard nothing about this game apart from the name. Honestly, I'm baffled by anyone who is disappointed to not be receiving a game this year that they know nothing about. Save your excitement until you know what it is.
I mean I don't expect Starfield to release this year but I also don't find him very reliable overall
Updated reply
Yeah this is probably one of the most "duh, no shit" reports I've seen so far this year.
I don't think that's wise because not everyone is into FPS, or like me.....into FPS but think halo style of play is old and out dated. So in that regard i have no new game to look forward to
Answered how I thought he would and it's the same question i posted in the resetera AMA thread.He update his comments it's guess after all

How much does it suck that this forum and websites write articles and make threads after every time you open your mouth and say anything.
that must be super annoying.
I wouldn't have expected it in 2021. COVID-19 would have impacted development, also with the shortage of GPUs and new consoles it might be best waiting till 2022 for a major new IP as it allows time for more people to get their hands on a new console or more powerful GPU to take advantage of any new features.
It's fine. Halo Infinite coming in Fall will be big enough. Hopfully Microsoft have some surprises at E3, because 2021 in general seems weak for the Xbox platform. We Got The Medium so far and we have Psychonauts 2, Flight Simulator, Halo Infinite coming for big releases, which still feels a little light unless I'm missing anything major?
Edit: Oh and rumors towards a new Forza as well.

Reading comprehension is a lost art. He was obviously making an educated guess
Yeah, was gonna say - pretty sure his answer here wasn't news. He said on this very website a while back that he essentially had a blanket skepticism policy for 2021 games hitting 2021.
That's a bummer, I thought this was coming this year (wishful thinking!)
Hopefully it's early 2022
