Starfield Global Release Times Set for August 31
Bethesda has released Starfield’s global launch schedule, starting with early access for Premium Edition owners.
2023’s highly-anticipated RPG, Starfield, is about to blast off. Bethesda has unveiled the official launch timeline, clarifying the release dates. The game is set to release on September 1 for Premium Edition buyers and September 6 for everyone else. However, due to the early access component, the launch dates can seem a bit blurred.
Starfield will debut on September 1 (or August 31 for the Americas) for those who’ve opted for the Premium Edition or higher tiers. For standard edition buyers or Game Pass users, it’s September 6 (or September 5 in the Americas). Regardless of your region, the game will be available at 5 pm PDT, translating to 1 am BST and 10 am AEST.
Despite the official launch being slated for September 6, the buzz around September 1 will undoubtedly make it feel like the actual release day. Expect a surge of online content, including screenshots and livestreams.
PC players who’ve purchased the game through the Microsoft Store can preload it already, while Steam users can start preloading from August 30.
While waiting for Starfield, familiarize yourself with the game’s companions and the various space factions available for players to align with.
