Starfield, one of the most sought-after releases this year, is made available earlier than expected to Game Pass users who are willing to pay a price.

Users Get Opportunities to Save on Starfield

Users wishing to gain early access to Starfield on Game Pass without having to pay full price have the opportunity to do so, however, this opportunity comes with a slight hitch. It allows fans to explore the stars a week before the game's official release.

About Starfield

Starfield, one of the most eagerly awaited releases this year, has generated immense buzz among players, many of whom are keen to get their hands on the game as soon as possible. Luckily, the game is available to Game Pass users. Those who use this subscription service can avoid paying full price for the game.

The Catch

Nonetheless, for those desiring early access to Starfield, there is a catch. Upgrading the existing subscription to the Premium Edition of the game allows players to access the game a week before everyone else. Although this will cost around $35, it is still a more affordable option than buying the game outright, which costs $70, or forking out $100 for the Premium Edition.

Potential Drawback

However, there is a major drawback. Purchasers must buy the game at full price on the Xbox platform if their Game Pass subscription expires and they have not renewed it, making the $35 purchase redundant without Game Pass.

Considerations for Game Pass Subscribers

On the other hand, those maintaining their Game Pass subscriptions have less to fret about. Considering that Bethesda is now officially part of Microsoft, it is expected that Starfield will permanently be on Game Pass, helping gamers to sidestep the problems faced as many other third-party titles rolled off the service.
