<\/p>\nPlaying Starfield Early Access requires paying extra money. You have to buy a special version of the game, like the Premium or Collector’s Edition. These versions let you start playing the game five days before everyone else. However, these special editions are quite pricey. It’s important to understand what you’ll be allowed to do and what benefits you’ll get with Starfield Early Access. Below, I’ll tell you all the important details about getting early access to Starfield, including when it becomes available and how you can get it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To be able to play Starfield Early Access, you need to purchase either the Premium Edition or Constellation Edition of the game. These are more expensive versions of the game. Let me explain what they include and how much they cost in simple terms:<\/p>\n
Starfield Premium Edition ($100\/\u00a3100, digital or physical options)<\/strong><\/p>\n Starfield Constellation Edition ($300\/\u00a3250, physical only)<\/strong><\/p>\n If you already bought the Standard Edition of the game but want the cool extras that come with the Premium Edition, you can upgrade to the Premium Edition. This upgrade includes Starfield Early Access. This is a good choice for those who use Game Pass as well. Of course, this means spending more money than just getting the base game. But remember, you’re not only paying for Early Access, you’re also getting other great stuff, which might be really appealing.<\/p>\n Starfield Early Access becomes available “up to 5 days” before the official release. This kind of vague phrasing means the game unlocks for everyone around the world at the same time. So, for example, if you’re in the US, Starfield Early Access starts on August 31. But if you’re in a time zone ahead of the UK, it starts on September 1.<\/p>\n Below, you can find the exact starting times for Starfield Early Access in different major regions. We’ve also included a helpful map from Bethesda for more detailed breakdowns of different time zones.<\/p>\n Starfield Early Access offers players the chance to play the game before its official release by purchasing either the Premium Edition or Constellation Edition. These editions include various in-game items, expansions, and physical collectibles. The vague “up to 5 days” early access window ensures a simultaneous global release, accommodating different time zones. Players can upgrade from the Standard Edition to the Premium Edition for early access. While these editions are pricier, they provide unique benefits beyond just early access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Playing Starfield Early Access requires paying extra money.
