How to Play Starfield Early

To get early access to Starfield, you must buy its Premium or Constellation editions. While these cost more money than its Standard Edition, they’ll give you up to five days of early access, allowing you to play as early as September 1, 2023.

The downside? You’ll have to pay a considerable amount more. The price jumps from $69.99 to $99.99 when you upgrade to Premium and skyrockets to $299.99 with Constellation. The edition you pick is entirely up to you, but either way, accessing Starfield’s five-day early access period requires owning one of these two editions.

Fortunately, they both come with the base game, so the extra cost comes from their additional perks.
