A huge Starfield speedrunning breakthrough came about thanks to a YouTube commenter who discovered a skip by accident.
We've already seen Starfield beaten in under three hours in 'glitchless' runs, where glitches and other hacks aren't permitted. A recurring problem for speedrunners, though, is that an animation where the train in New Atlantis leaves the station adds seconds, and potentially even minutes onto a speedrun, since the player has to repeatedly use the train during a playthrough.
