Starfield is one of the year's biggest games, and it's launching in early September--though early access begins today. With that date rapidly approaching--and the game coming even earlier to those with certain editions--when will reviews go online? [Update: The time has come, and our Starfield review is live.]

　　Members of the media will be able to start posting reviews today, Thursday, August 31 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. That is the very soonest that reviews are allowed to appear online. This is one day before Starfield goes live on September 1 for people who buy the Constellation Edition or purchase an upgrade (more on that below).

　　Now Playing: Starfield Direct – 45 Minute Gameplay Deep Dive

　　Starfield is the first new IP from Bethesda Game Studios in multiple decades. It was originally scheduled to be released in November 2022 before it got bumped to September 6, 2023.

　　The game launches that day on Xbox Series X|S and PC, while Xbox One owners can play it through the cloud. All Game Pass subscribers will be able to play the game for no extra cost.

　　The game's $100 edition unlocks five days early, starting September 1, but there is a $35 premium upgrade that players can purchase to jump in at that time. People looking to play on Game Pass can take advantage of this upgrade.

　　A recent Starfield developer Q&A revealed a lot more information about the game, including how players can buy property and go to jail. Preloading for Starfield is live, which is worth doing considering the game is 100GB+ in size.
