Shit, I might just go for it and get the premium edition. I didn’t know it included an expansion.

I’m not paying the £86 for the premium edition but cdkeys has it for £64 and it seems they will send the key right away so I can preload.

Preloading it now ............ urgh 7 hours now this takes me back to the days of dial up and before any smart arse goes "brah get a better connection" I am on the best connection old copper wiring can offer.

Game Pass Ultimate do PC version is Early Access??

Not to be a dick but that would take you a 5 second google search to find that out

Game Pass Ultimate do PC version is Early Access??

Gamepass is the base game. You have to buy the DLC for early access.

Was just gonna post this. Nice surprise I might add.

 

[hollams]

Not sure if I want to pre-load or not. I have gig fiber so it will download fast vs pre-load decryption that sometimes takes longer than the download.

Downloading it as I type this.
I bought the Standard edition but regretted waiting more to play it. Is there any way to buy just the DLC or upgrade to the premium edition?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Downloading now.

I believe the Premium Upgrade is limited to the Xbox version. You'd need to do a refund on the standard edition and buy the premium edition instead. How long ago did you buy the game? Technically refunds are limited to 14 days from purchase and 2hrs. of play time.

*edit* Yep...

Can players upgrade to premium via Steam?
The Premium Edition Upgrade for Steam will be available at launch on September 6. It does not include Early Access. For Early Access on Steam, you can purchase the Starfield Premium Edition. If you’ve purchased the Standard Edition on Steam, you are able to refund the Standard and purchase the Premium on Steam at any time prior to September 6.

Thanks, bro. Unfortunately I bought it on a 3rd party (GMG), so I guess I'll wait

Just make sure to ignore spoilers on GAF and Youtube. The time will fly by and you can join in when the majority of people will be starting on standard release day. No worries.

It's a lot more understandable for a game like this than say .. CoD Blops 3 which is 200+~ GB for a 6 hour campaign, some MP and Warzone.

Waiting on real world impressions on this one. Too much conflicting noise. The truth will be known within a week of release.
