Now Starfield is finally out, Bethesda's Pete Hines is retiring
Bethesda exec Pete Hines has announced his retirement after 24 years at the company, just weeks after Starfield’s launch.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), the now-former head of publishing said he would begin an “exciting new chapter”, which will include “exploring interests and passions, donating my time where I can, and taking more time to enjoy life”.
Hines said this was not a decision he came to easily, but “after an amazing career, culminating in the incredible launch of Starfield, it feels like the time is right.”
Said Hines: “This is certainly not goodbye by any means. My love of Bethesda and its people has never wavered, and I will never stop being part of this incredible community we have grown. Thank you to the hundreds and thousands of fans I’ve gotten to meet and talk to over the last 24 years. Your energy, creativity, and support has been such a big part of my journey. I look forward to experiencing the next part of the adventure alongside you.
