New game plus in Starfield works a bit differently than other games; for one, it's actually woven into the narrative of the game. Without giving too much away, starting a new game plus run is what happens when your character hops between parallel universes, getting the chance to influence events in a different way this time around. However, the fun thing about the concept of the multiverse is that every instance within it is ever so slightly different, and Starfield players have discovered that manifesting in some amusing ways.
