Bethesda has recently announced that Starfield has bagged the gone gold status and confirmed that the game will be released as scheduled. Furthermore, Bethesda also announced a few things related to the game.
What are they? Check out this review from Gamedaim below. Don’t forget to share it with your friends so they don’t miss the latest updates about other Bethesda games.
Gone Gold, Starfield Releases Next Month
Along with the announcement, Betheda has also confirmed that players can preload the game on Xbox Series X/S starting August 17 and August 30 on Steam.
For your information, Starfield was originally scheduled for release in November last year, but in May 2022 the game received a delay until the first half of 2023. Unfortunately, in March they announced that Starfield would only be released on September 6, 2023.
Several editions of Starfield itself are already available for pre-order. The standard version of the game is priced at around $70 which includes the base game as well as being available through Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC.
Meanwhile, the Digital Premium Edition and Constellation Edition are priced at around $300 and will come with the game’s first story expansion, Shattered Space as well as up to five days of early access from September 1, 2023.
Had the PS5 version of Starfield not been canceled after Microsoft acquired Bethesda back in 2021, the game would have at least released later than planned.
Focusing on fewer platforms has been a huge benefit to the development team. If you release on many platforms, then it will take a lot of time and it’s even more expensive.
Pete Hines, CEO Bethesda
Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty claimed in June that if Starfield had been released back then, it “would already have the fewest bugs of any Bethesda game that has ever shipped”.
