“Starfield’s Early Access Pre-Orders Offer First Expansion and Bonus Features at Higher Prices”

Bethesda Unveils Starfield’s Expensive Premium Editions with Early Access

Bethesda has officially revealed that the upcoming game “Starfield” is set to have a premium edition that comes with first expansion access and early access up to five days before its official release on September 6, 2023. The Premium Edition costs £100, while the Constellation Edition costs £250. The Constellation Edition comes with Shattered Space, the game’s first story expansion, and a distinct watch that acts as part of the player’s HUD and is capable of connecting to a phone to deliver notifications.

Controversial Cost Higher Than Standard Edition

The announcement for Starfield’s Premium and Constellation editions was met with mixed reactions because of their costs. While the Standard Edition costs £70, customers who want early access and bonus features will have to pay a premium price. Despite their controversial cost, fans have already ordered them.

Microsoft’s Tentpole Release for Xbox

Starfield is being considered as Microsoft’s main tentpole release for Xbox this year. Its two pricey editions are both compatible with Xbox Game Pass. Fans can purchase the $79.99 Xbox Wireless Controller – Starfield Limited Edition and the $124.99 Xbox Wireless Headset – Starfield Limited Edition. Both of these accessories come adorned with Starfield logos and colors and have already been released for sale.

The Importance of Starfield

Starfield is Bethesda’s next big thing, and Microsoft has considerable expectations for it, as this year has proven to be shaky for the company. Minecraft Legends has had a humiliating launch, while the eagerly awaited Redfall’s rollout was a disaster. Hi-Fi Rush, on the other hand, has been a hit, but fans are hoping that Starfield will be the company’s new game-changer.

Pre-Orders and Early Access

Pre-orders for Starfield are now open, and fans can order their copies in any of the three editions. Customers who purchased the Premium or the Constellation edition will have an advantage in terms of early access and bonus features. While some fans are excited about the upcoming game, others are apprehensive about spending their money on expensive top-tier editions.

Final Thoughts

Starfield is a highly anticipated launch for Bethesda, which has made its name with hit franchises like Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Microsoft’s weight is behind it, and the company is hoping that this game will propel sales and become Xbox’s biggest success story so far this year. While the various editions of Starfield provide fans with early access and more bonus features, they also come with a premium cost. It is up to the fans to decide if early access and bonus features are worth spending so much money for.
