As has started becoming the norm for a lot of companies, Bethesda gave players a chance to get early access to Starfield by purchasing one of its more expensive editions. This includes the Constellation Edition, which will let you play Bethesdaâs sci-fi RPG five days before it launches on September 6.
The bundle includes a steelbook case, a replica of the in-game Chronomark Watch, a big case for it, a patch, as well as the gameâs first story expansion called Shattered Space. That also includes some other digital goodies like a new skin pack, the soundtrack, and a digital art book, all on top of a digital code for the game. Because who among us doesnât love to spend a bunch of money to get a steelbook just to not have the disc inside, am I right?
The systemâs just gone up for preorder. A $300 price tag leaked last week, and a listing on retailer GameStopâs website now confirms it. If youâre a Bethesda fan, you might think thatâs worth it, but maybe itâs just me getting older that makes a $300 collectorâs edition feel like such an astronomical purchase, especially on a new IP you donât know if youâre even gonna like yet. But if you want to play the game early, that is one perk of the package.
