Starfield will be playable for some this week, says insider

The release of Starfield is nearly upon us and fans are super-hyped to play Bethesda’s upcoming sci-fi RPG.

Bethesda claims that Starfield is two decades in the making. Not that Starfield has actually been 20 years in development, it’s more so that the vision of Starfield was a dream many years ago but now thanks to modern-day technical advancements, it can now come to fruition.

Recently, Bethesda hosted a dedicated ‘Starfield Direct ‘and during its 45-minute presentation, there was an overwhelming flurry of information, which perhaps required at least two viewings.

Starfield truly promises to be a massive game featuring not only the largest city that Bethesda has ever created, but even has over 1000 planets for players to visit. However, it is claimed that only 10% of those planets will have meaningful life or around 100 premium planets if you will. Still, with roughly 100-star systems, much like Skyrim, hopefully, Starfield will be keeping us entertained for years to come.

The launch of Starfield is less than a month away and you can play it a few days earlier if you have pre-ordered the Premium or Constellation Edition. However, according to an insider, some lucky folk will be playing Starfield as early as this week!

As shared in a Reddit post, replying to a person on Twitter, video game journalist and industry insider, Tom Henderson claims that review codes will be going out this week. While we should take rumours with a pinch of salt, with a game that promises to be as massive as Starfield, it makes sense for Bethesda to get review codes out as soon as possible.

Starfield will be released on 6 September 2023 for PC and Xbox Series X|S, unless you’ve pre-ordered the Premium or Constellation Edition, in which case, your release date is 1 September. Starfield will also launch on Xbox Game Pass.
