Want Early Access to Starfield before the 6th September launch? Here’s How to Upgrade to the Starfield Premium Edition with Xbox Game Pass. This upgrade not only lets you dive into the game on 31st August but also grants access to upcoming DLC and exclusive items.
Fortunately, if you want to upgrade, it’s not going to cost you $100 to play Starfield early, as Xbox Game Pass members can get a massive discount bringing it down to $31.50 or £31.49.
This package not only grants early access but also includes the forthcoming Shattered Space story expansion and in-game bonuses such as the Equinox Laser Rifle and other exclusive items.
Upgrading to Starfield Premium Edition on Xbox Game Pass
Interested in upgrading to the Premium Edition of Starfield? Simply visit the Xbox Store and select Starfield’s Premium Edition from the drop-down menu beside the pre-order button. Xbox Game Pass subscribers should notice a special discount applied. With this upgrade, you can access the game on either PC or Xbox Series X, as the Xbox Game Pass provides you with access to both platforms.
Remember that the Premium Edition doesn’t include the base game for Starfield, so if you should leave Game Pass at any point, you will lose access to Starfield. If you purchase the game separately, you will gain access to the Premium Edition content again.
To simplify your understanding of Starfield’s access options, let’s look at it like this:
- Standard Game Pass + Premium Upgrade (discounted version) = Early Access
- Full-Priced Premium = Early Access
- All Other Versions of Starfield = No Early Access
Concerned about Starfield leaving Game Pass? You can put those worries to rest. Since Microsoft owns Bethesda, Starfield is now a first-party game, ensuring its continued presence on the service. It would take an extraordinary turn of events for this to change.
