To play Starfield early, the main way is to purchase the Premium Edition or the Constellation Edition of the game. These editions unlock up to five days of early access before the official release date, allowing players to start on September 1, 2023, while the standard edition and Xbox Game Pass access start on September 6, 2023. The Premium Edition costs about $100 and includes extra digital goodies, while the Constellation Edition costs around $300 and adds exclusive physical collectibles. Purchasing the Premium Edition Upgrade digitally for about $35 is another way to get early access if already owning the standard edition. Early access depends on purchase date, time zone, and potential outages but generally grants early play for up to five days ahead of launch.
