This comes as a major twist in the expected Starfield layout. A review code basically refers to the developers providing a game’s codes to media personnel for review before release. These reviews are usually embargoed until a certain time and date, which is when creators and news outlets can begin posting their reviews. With the reports of review code coming in way earlier, players might be getting a lot of potential insiders on the game days before its launch.
