After a long wait and a delay or two, Starfield is just round the corner. But just when can you get your hands on it and lift off into Bethesda’s first non-Fallout or Elder Scrolls RPG? It depends where you are and which version of the game you have. So, to clear things up, here’s the answer to when does Starfield release in your region.
Here’s When You Can Play Starfield
Starfield launches (and unlocks) between September 5th and 6th. You can also play the game five days early and if you want to know how to do this, here’s how. Unlike some games which unlock at midnight local time, Starfield unlocks at 7:00 PM CDT, 1:00 AM BST and 12:00 PM NZST.
So, as confirmed by Bethesda, here’s precisely when you can play it, going from west to east.
