A Starfield leak has reportedly outed details about the game's special editions, including a $320 Constellation version.
Starfield release date and editions: The game will launch on September 6, 2023, exclusively for PC and Xbox Series X|S. There will be three editions: Standard, Deluxe and Constellation (Collector).
Starfield gameplay and features: The game is a cosmic RPG in open-world, where the player is an interstellar explorer. The game offers a vast world to explore, filled with planets and space stations. The game promises stunning graphics and a captivating story.
Starfield events and pre-orders: The game will be officially presented at the Starfield Direct event on June 11, 2023, after the Xbox Games Showcase. The pre-orders for the different editions will likely start after the live.
I will be playing it day 1 on game pass and after mods start releasing and im ready to mod the game, I plan on buying it on sale. It seems like a pretty good plan to me.
Surely mods are going to be launching basically day one right? It's still overall the same engine. Granted, probably nothing big, but surely there's something people will want modded in very quickly.
I wish we would stop with these ‘premium editions and collectors editions’
Like yeah maybe have an edition with a cool collectors item for those who want it. But I (and I’m gonna sound ancient here) I remember when you bought a game, that was it. The complete package, no DLC’s, fairly bug-free and felt like complete experiences.
I cannot see a way how this collector's edition would be worth it. Even if they throw in all future DLC and physical goodies like your very own collection of multiple starship models, it'd be a tough sell to me.
I kinda love when AAA games get a stupidly expensive collectors edition that like ten people will buy. Just like seeing what insane shit they throw in them.
$70 USD to play an open world Bethesda game on launch day is a joke. There's no other way to describe it. It's laughable that Microsoft and Bethesda think anyone should be paying that much money to beta test the buggy, unstable, maybe even unfinished version of Starfield we're likely getting in September. You'll be paying the most money for the worst version of the game, period. And this is coming from someone who bought Skyrim on launch day in 2011.
Even if Starfield is better than expected, and surprisingly playable on launch day, I have no doubt in my mind that it will be an even better game by late 2024 thanks to the modding community, and you'll probably be able to get it on sale by then. Especially if you plan to buy it on Steam, where big sales events seem to happen every week. But I doubt Starfield is going to be finished in September, because Bethesda has been given a mandate to hit a product launch target determined by Microsoft board room executives. We've all seen enough games this year, especially on PC, that were practically broken on day one, and especially after Redfall, I have a feeling that Starfield won't be any better.
While I don't have a lot of faith in how this game will turn out, I'm excited to try it anyway. We need new IPs, and hopefully the game will age well like other Bethesda games
I assume that the premium edition will include the season pass for all the DLC that will come out. That comes to $167 in my local Australian dollars. Not cheap! I'm considering waiting for the GOTY edition. It'll include all the DLC, have some of the bugs worked out and will be cheaper.
I'm excited for it. However, like all games and especially those from Bethesda, I'll wait a year and pick it up on sale. Let the patches and mod fixes roll out and enjoy the game that much more.
