Will Starfield Offer An Early Access Ahead of September Launch?

With the hype surrounding Starfield, gamers cannot wait to get their hands on the title. To get the title early, as with most releases, Bethesda placed early access in the Premium Edition of the game. While Starfield releases on September 6th, fans can get the title about five days early if they get the Premium Edition. However, it seems there is confusion surrounding what is the date for early access to the game.

It looks like Bethesda revealed the exact date for early access, though there is confusion among gamers about what time the game will be available to them.

Starfield’s early access leaves fans confused

Starfield is among the most hyped games released this year for Xbox and PC. After Microsoft purchased Bethesda, the title became an exclusive, releasing only on Xbox Series X/S consoles and PC. The fans who upgraded to the Premium Edition or higher received the chance to play the game early. However, they do not know what time they get the game. If fans preorder the game now, either by selecting the Premium Upgrade or higher version, they get access six days before release! In addition to this, there will be in-game bonuses and content available.

Other users quickly came to the rescue, trying to piece together when each region will gain access to the game. One user speculated since standard releases follow midnight releases at Eastern Time, east coast fans can expect to get the game around 10 p.m. The user went on to explain their plans of exploring the game, waiting until the next morning to start playing it instead of starting the night of release. However, another user had a different story. They will be getting the title at 7 p.m. on the east coast.
