Starfield players have genius plan to grab free download and still get Collector’s Edition

With just weeks to go untilStarfieldlaunches,players are currently faced with some tough decisions to make.

Whichclass should we pick to start with? What should we do with our ships? Where in the game’smassive open worldshould we explore first? Being aStarfieldfan sure is tough work.

Perhaps the biggest question facing manyStarfieldplayers, however, is: should you get the game viaXbox Game Passor fork over the £70 and claim the game yourself?

There are benefits to both options, of course. If you have anXboxGame Pass subscription already thenStarfieldis effectively a free download. But as soon as you stop paying your subscription, you obviously lose access to the game until you start paying again. Fine and dandy for a game likeHi-Fi Rushthat you can clear in a few weekends. ButStarfieldis a chungus of a game,one that fans are already gearing up to losemany, many months of their lives to. Perhaps, then, it’s better to simply pay the money upfront.

However,over on Reddita few plucky gamers have come up with a very smart solution. In short? “Rent” the game for cheap on Game Pass for the first few months and wait for the physical edition to drop in price, something which will inevitably happen before too long. Whether it goes on sale around Christmas or simply drops in value,Starfieldwon’t cost £70 forever. Or maybe it will, I guess… probably not though.

“Play through it a couple of times un-modded on Game Pass, then pick it up for a song with DLC included and plenty of mods available,” one entrepreneur writes.
