Starfield lead quest designer says players getting "fatigued" by super long games, trumpets bitesize titles like Mouthwashing


Former Bethesda developer Will Shen believes players are becoming "fatigued" with games that take hours upon hours upon hours to complete.

During an interview with Kiwi Talkz(via GameSpot), Shen was asked about game length and acknowledged that there are still plenty of people putting hours into Skyrim. Shen said he understood there were other factors that had contributed to Mouthwashing's success, but that he firmly believed the game's short length was one of the key reasons it was such a hit. As a quick aside, our Jim was also rather taken with Mouthwashing, so taken in fact he named it one of his games of 2024 in the Eurogamer video team's roundup, which you can watch above.
