Starfield’s more expensive editions grant five days early access, Bethesda has confirmed.
The Digital Premium, Premium Edition Upgrade, and the $299.99 Constellation Edition (the one that comes with the in-game watch in real life) all include “up to five days early access”.
Starfield’s street date is September 6, but with this early access period its effective release date is September 1.
Here’s the small print, from Bethesda:
“Actual play time depends on purchase date and is subject to possible outages and applicable time zone differences.”
Given Starfield is a single-play story-driven game, it’s hard to see outages preventing any of the five day early access period from being available.
Bethesda showed a huge chunk of Starfield during its Starfield Direct. Here’s our guide to what comes in each edition of Starfield. And here’s every game shown during Summer of Gaming so far.
