The space epic "Starfield" continues to inspire the editorial team this week. There were also exciting hardware tests on new smartphones, hard drives and graphics cards.

"Starfield" is one of the biggest games of the year. According to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, over a million people played the sci-fi blockbuster at the same time at launch. Two of them can be found in our editorial team. Phil and I have already invested countless hours in the game. This week, I'm sharing a few tips and tricks for all new astronauts. I also explain why "Starfield" enchants me. And I take a look at whether Bethesda promised too much in advance.

Galactic continues with Michelle's product test of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. The foldable phone impresses Michelle with its displays, solid cameras and strong performance. But it's not quite perfect.

Another product test can be found at Kevin. He has tested the Crucial X10 Pro. The external SSD races through his tests at almost the speed of light. However, only very few people will really need the high speed. Kevin also took a closer look at reviews of AMD's new mid-range graphics cards.

My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
