It looks like the fans have a reason to hold on to their excitement with the Starfield preload date leaking on Amazon recently. Turns out players will be able to start preloading the game on their consoles and PCs starting August 9 which will let Bethesda deliver a smoother release experience.
This also becomes crucial considering the enormous 125 GB download size of the game which was revealed earlier. With the game only weeks away from the official release date of September 6, 2023, fans have been finding it hard to wait for getting hands-on with this astronomical scale and size of a game.
Bethesda’s Starfield has been in the works for years now and has built up a huge hype amongst the gaming community. Hence, the release seems to be as much a challenge for Bethesda since they had promised the fans a smooth launch experience which is why the early preload date gives players a much-needed head start.
Starfield preload date might just do wonders for Bethesda
History has not been kind to big and hyped-up game releases in the past few years where we have seen games like Cyberpunk 2077, No Man’s Sky (2016), and Anthem face major crashes and bug issues during the launch. In addition to that, the recent release of Baldur’s Gate 3 with its gigantic 150 GB download size and no early preload date also became responsible for bringing the Steam servers down.
It wasn’t a surprise since BG3’s popularity resulted in players all around the world flocking all at once to get their hands on it. Therefore, there is a high chance that with the fans getting an early chance to download the huge game files with Starfield preload date, especially those with slower internet speeds can take their time to get ready with game files on their PCs and consoles.
On the other hand, those looking to start playing the game before the usual audience have the option to pay a premium of $35 for the digital upgrade bundle. Moreover, those having the Game Pass subscription can also use it to upgrade to the Premium Edition. This allows the players to access the game from September 1 itself and also get a plethora of bonus content along with it.
Bethesda’s Starfield is a massive treat for fans
Calling it a massive open world might be unfair when the game is going to give players a chance to fully explore 1000 planets in the universe. Additionally, tons of side content will also add to the experience for those who have the urge to dive deeper and indulge themselves completely in the game.
Many enthusiast gamers have already been building up their own ships and some have even been meticulously going through the pre-release materials of the game. It is no doubt that all of this seems to add more to the expectations and hype around Bethesda’s space epic which finally drops on PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles on September 6, 2023.
