Well, this is certainly less than ideal. If you were hoping to take advantage of Xbox Game Pass’s £1/$1 dollar deal in order to playStarfield, I’m afraid you’re out of luck. Microsoft has killed off the deal yet again, sigh.
We’re inching ever closer to the release ofStarfield- and the hype is palpable. It’s no surprise though that people are excited to dive intoBethesda’s first new IP in 25 years.Starfieldis set to boastover 1,000 planetsand 100 star systems, so I’m imagining that it’ll keep us busy for some time to come. In recent weeks, devs have been teasingthe various factions you can joinand companions you can befriend. Of course, you can try and turn those friendships into romances - and fans are already discussingwhich characters they’ve got their eyes on. There’s going to be so much to keep us busy, but if you were planning on taking advantage of a classicXbox Game Passoffer in order to dive into the day one release. You may need to come up with a new plan.
Take a look atStarfield’s epic new cinematic trailer below.
If you’ve pre-ordered any ofStarfield’s various physical or digital editions, you’re all set - and I’m imagining you may be diving into early access in a few days time.Starfieldis also launching as an Xbox Game Pass day one release though. If you’re a long term subscriber of Game Pass, you too have nothing to worry about, but if you were hoping to rejoin the subscription service to playStarfield, taking advantage of the £1/$1 starter offer, I have bad news for you. After previously bringing the offer back, Microsoft has scrapped it once again.

In the UK, Ultimate increased from £10.99 to £12.99, while the standard Console tier went up from £7.99 to £8.99. Microsoft is really banking onStarfieldmaking some cash - and you can’t blame them. It looks fantastic. Still, it’s bad news for our pockets.
