Bethesda's STARFIELD will be launching in a couple of days for early access owners, and proper launch next week. So I am wondering will everyone will start play it: early access , proper launch date or later.

In case anyone is wondering, here's the release times

 

[FunkMiller]

I'll be downloading it on GamePass on day of release. See no real reason to fork out more money just to play it a few days early - especially given that it's a Bethesda game, and could still come in a lot hotter than people think.

 

[Robb]

Launch day. I’m not in much of a hurry, the game seems humongous so playing it a few days early will hardly matter.

 

[L*][*N*K]

Bethesda's STARFIELD will be launching in a couple of days

Holy shit really? I couldn't tell from the trillion threads about this game

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Early access gang. CEST time zone. I'll wake up early and plan to spend the entire day just exploring.

 

[acm2000]

ive literally just upgraded my series s to an x for starfield/forza/alan wake 2, but i will wait for full launch

 

[Mr Hyde]

Most likely on release on PC Game Pass. I'm worried it's coming in hot though, even if early buzz says its polished. Still got PTSD from Skyrim on PS3.

 

[JokerMM]

When it inevitably hits the souljagame console

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Official launch date through GP but maybe I'll just grab the game directly through cdkeys since it's a bit cheaper there than on Steam. Not 100% yet.

 

[MMaRsu]

Early access, I'll be up at 2 staying up as long as I can probably an all nighter and I'll sleep the day after

 

[Negotiator101]

On the 6th I hearing its gonna get a patch before official release so the early access doesn't interest me that much. I'm expecting a brilliant game either way but no harm in waiting for a more polished version.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Early Access Crew. I have a good feeling about this game. ^_^

 

[Negotiator101]

You'll miss the day so why not sleep the night and get up early following day? Otherwise you'll screw up your sleep pattern.

Feel like we’ve had this thread 3 times now.
But I’m waiting till the 6th. It’s Father’s Day this weekend so I likely won’t get time anyway.
I’d have considered it more if I knew anything about the expansion.

On the 6th I hearing its gonna get a patch before official release

I got a 15gb update earlier. But I’d expect you’re right with another one or two before release though.

 

[Riky]

Early access, will spend a bit of time comparing the formats first.

 

[Mr Moose]

Later date maybe, I wanted Space Skyrim and they gave us Space Fallout.

 

[NEbeast]

Why do these threads feel like paid advertisements.

 

[nightmare-slain]

would be a day one purchase but i'm drowning in Baldur's Gate/Armored Core/TOTK and others. Maybe if I can knock AC6 out soon then I'll pick up Starfield.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Probably after a couple of patches.

 

[Magic Carpet]

This Friday! Part of the paid early access. Seems everyone and their space Grandmother has a review code.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Probably after a couple of patches.

always a smart move with a bethesda game. i don't care if people say this is the least buggiest bethesda game. there's a very good chance that it's bullshit and the game will release a broken mess.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Why do these threads feel like paid advertisements.

By the way, did you know you could pay to play one of the most ground breaking games to ever be released, and will be released in this generation early!? All for the low price of $31+ gamepass sub (I mean, who doesn't have the best deal in gaming! )

Oh and did you know that Phil is blessed by the pope to release Starfield. Now you have to buy the game or go to hell.

[prinz_valium]

The minute the game will release.
Will go to bed at 8pm local time. Release is 2am local time

 

[JimmyRustler]

6 of September because I’m on work trip from Thursday on and am not around for the early access.

 

[Fools idol]

Probably when the Remastered Complete Edition is in the Xmas Steam sale for $5 in 5 years from now...

 

[BLAUcopter]

We're on holiday in Bali, and the early access drops while we are here so will miss a few days. Still, what a great thing to come home to!

 

[RoboFu]

I’m early .. I’m not even excited by the game but I’m a sucker for hype.

 

[Matsuchezz]

I will play it once Uncle Phil decides it is ok to release it on PlayStation 5. I just canceled my gp sub for testing xcloud. It sucks!

 

[diffusionx]

The game looks amazing, I said as much in the reveal thread, and really hope it's great, but I'm in full cost control mode right now so will not be playing it for now. The only game I plan to buy this year is Phantom Liberty.

 

[naguanatak]

2am on friday. Last three vacation days. Only a couple of small things to do, rest of the time will be in front of TV/Series X
Looking forward to digging in and taking it slow

 

[Gudji]

When it gets a big sale.

 

[lmimmfn]

When i finish Baldurs Gate 3..........in a few months time

 

[MMaRsu]

You'll miss the day so why not sleep the night and get up early following day? Otherwise you'll screw up your sleep pattern.

I have like a huge vacation time right now soo it doesnt matter too much for me..

But I mean I might play through the entire day too, from 2 till like 00:00am the next day so I'll wake up somewhere during the day on saturday

 

[AJUMP23]

I got the early access after thinking about it.

 

[adamsapple]

8PM EST Augut 31st.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Early next year? I need a new PC for Starfield.

 

[Evil Calvin]

7:00pm cdt for me on Aug 31st...BUT....at that same time my NCAA football team (Mizzou) kicks off. Same damn time.

 

[Arachnid]

Early access a day early via a trip to New Zealand

No way in hell I'm paying for the premium version to play a few days early. Especially not when I'll have the game for free on Gamepass.

 

[alienator]

not, playing armored core 6 \/

 

[spons]

I'll just wait until it hits Game Pass proper. Not paying 30 bucks to play 5 days early.

 

[SolidQ]

in 2024-2026 maybe

 

[Guilty_AI]

Someday. I like the idea of it but i could never get into bethesda games, so i'll let it cook for a bit, maybe wait for sales.

 

[Warnen]

Bought the early access version on steam

 

[SJRB]

Friday for sure, Premium Edition is locked and (almost) loaded.

There’s no way I’m going to dodge footage and spoilers for a whole week.

 

[LostDonkey]

As soon as it unlocks for early access.

Installed premium edition upgrade to Series X and PC

Ready to go!

 

[Alpha Male]

Thursday at 7:00 pm cst on Series X

 

[amigastar]

At official launch, i've already paid more to play Diablo 4 earlier.

 

[ComputerBlue]

At a later date for me, much later. I don’t have a good enough PC, don’t want a series, so maybe some day if I buy a steam deck or something. Game looks great but not spend $400-700 CAD on new hardware great.

 

[MadchesterManc]

Probably next year. Wanna try and clear some of last years backlog before I start this years
