When will Starfield release on Game Pass

Starfield Full Release

The Full Release for Starfield begins on the evening of September 5 or the morning of September 6, depending on where you live. You can thank Sir Sanford Fleming for inventing timezones, I guess. But he stopped missing trains, and you won’t miss this release. Bethesda has opted for a full global release, not a staggered one, so prepare to jump into their new space-faring adventure at the same time as your friends all around the world.

  • Mountain Time USA — 6 p.m MST on September 5

Game Pass is once again proving to be a fantastic value proposition for players, as a little bit of patience means millions of people will get to play Starfield for just the subscription price. While the part of me that loves physical media and worries about the erosion of true ownership of the things we buy is fearful of a future where we never own anything, for people who just want to play as many games as they can for as little outlay as possible, this is a good day.

Remember, the best way to approach Starfield is patiently. It takes a little while to open up, but when it does, it is a very attractive flower indeed. We also have all manner of interesting articles, guides, hints, and tips for you. Like how to get a cool free ship called the Razorleaf and pretend to be space Batman.
