Going to be real hard to be an adult on Friday the 1st.
Howâs the download going?
Getting there, should be done by the end of this week!
Starfield size on disk:
I wasnât planning on playing this on release⌠but then I booted up my gaming OS on Friday and there it was, ready to be downloaded. So I did.
Think the game will be good, but Bethesda games are usually quite the time pit and I only have two nights per week that I can actually play (so itâs going to take forever to finish).
Wow, this took me too longâŚ
Live action trailer shown at Gamescom ONL
Accompanied by a stunning orchestral version of Elton Johnâs âRocket Man,â the live action trailer follows our hero on a breathtaking journey through the stars. Experience the hope and danger of setting out into the unknown and get ready for your own adventure when Starfield launches on September 6 on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. Play it day one on Game Pass.
Oh wow, dialed up the hype engine a notch or 2 there! Canât wait.

Still bugs me that the entire continent is so regularly ignoredâŚ
But wait, we are now part of a political bloc that contains almost all of the countries on the CIA watchlist. We will be infamous enough soon to warrant our own release gaming schedules
Planning on dropping a pc by someone who has real internet, to download this monstrous game. Oh the hoops we jump through for the distant promise of fun
So Iâll be booked off for a week after surgery on the 13th which means that, depending on how Iâm feeling, I might be getting in some quality gaming time to play this. So maybe a whole week during the day while the wife and kids are away. I havenât had that kind of gaming time since I was single over a Easter weekend.
Okay itâs a crafted music video, but still, itâs starting to look like we may have something special here.
Oh wow!
That is looking amazing! Iâm going to have to uninstall Dirt Rally 2 to make space for all the screen shots and video clips
In the absence of anything official, and with a couple of days to go before the Early Access start, found a couple of fan-made tools to mess around with. Obviously both are heavily WIP and subject to being inaccurate:
Character Build Planner & Calculator
This one is based on Character Backgrounds and Traits that have been revealed in various places.
Starfield Ship Builder
Very finicky to work with, but still a decent tool to play around with. Especially considering the lack of detailed ship info that has been made available. Does give an insight into the huge potential for ship mods to come in the future though.
I think the only things Iâve seen or know about this title are from the E3 content. Not that I have purposefully been avoiding it, just havenât had time or interest over the past few weeks.
PSA: If youâre wanting to avoid having things spoiled before you get in the gameâŚ
The review embargo lifts at 18:00 this evening. Every game and tech site, publication, channel, and creator will be flooding your feeds and inboxes.
Additionally, a number of streamers and reviewers have been given permission to livestream their gameplay at the same time.
This is a full 8 hours before the Early Access public release time for the game. Tread lightly as you navigate the strands of the web.
Iâll try and only post links to spoiler free reviews that focus on performance, general mechanics, and the like primarily for those that are interested to learn if the addition of the Xbox QA team has helped BGS beat their traditional out the box bugginess.
Upgraded to Premium through Game Pass. Iâm so ready for tomorrow.
