Starfield PC Early Access Countdown
Bethesda

The release of Starfield is quickly approaching and is one of the most anticipated AAA releases of the year, being Bethesda's next massive open-world RPG set in a fully explorable universe of planets, stars, and other celestial bodies. Now, while the game officially releases on the 5th of September, it will be coming slightly earlier to PC via early access. 

So if you're planning to grab the game on PC and want to know when you can expect it to release in early access, then we have you covered. Below you can find a comprehensive countdown to the early access release countdown of Starfield. 

How long until the Starfield Early Access release? 

The standard launch of Starfield is scheduled for September 6, 2023, and thanks to the information found on the official Starfield Website, we know that the early access debut will occur on September 1 or August 31, depending on the region. Because this information is also present on the official Xbox store, we expect this release date to apply to the PC version as well.
