When can you preload Starfield? A new Xbox Series S listing may have confirmed it



Whereas it hasn’t been confirmed when precisely Starfield will likely be out there to preload, a current itemizing could have confirmed the date.


With video games being as massive as they’re lately, preloading can prevent loads of time so you may simply soar straight in. Formally, we do not know when Starfield preload will likely be out there, however in line with a current Amazon itemizing (noticed by GameScout), preload will apparently be out there as quickly as this week: August 9, to be particular. This was listed on an Xbox Sequence S bundle on Amazon, which nonetheless has that preload date listed. It additionally notes that you can play the sport after September 6, the sport’s normal launch date. On a separate itemizing for the Premium Version of the sport, which provides you early entry, it does say the sport will likely be playable September 1 as anticipated, alongside noting the preload date as August 9.

A few different issues to notice although: firstly, that is only a retailer itemizing, so it is solely doable issues might change, particularly with the preload date solely being a few days away on the time of writing. Secondly, the Xbox bundle itemizing notes that you would be able to play the sport as much as 120fps, which it says is “all powered by Xbox Velocity Structure.” Nevertheless, Bethesda’s Todd Howard confirmed again in June that the sport is locked to 30fps on each Xbox Sequence X and S (one thing our personal Sherif discovered a bit disappointing). The itemizing is for a digital code that works on each Xbox and PC, so it might be referring to the framerate you may hit on PC, however that may be odd contemplating the Xbox Velocity Structure remark.


All that is to say, for the second take this with a grain of salt, and maintain out hope for an official affirmation from both Bethesda or Microsoft. When you wait, should you’re getting impatient you possibly can all the time try the leaked achievement tracker.


Any which method, Starfield will likely be out on PC and Xbox Sequence X/S September 6, or September 1 when you’ve got early entry.
