What Time Does Starfield Release? – Answered

The time for space is now!

Starfield is very close now, set to release in just a few short days for early access players and on September 6 for nonearly access players.

With so much excitement behind it, you may wonder when you can dive into the new universe. Here’s what time Starfield releases in your region.
