Starfield preloads start tomorrow on Xbox Series X/S and Windows PC

If you’re so eager to get stuck into Starfield the thought of having to wait even a second after launch fills you with shuddering anguish, there’s some good news! Bethesda has announced that preloads will be available from tomorrow, 17th August.

The hugely anticipated Starfield – an ambitious mash-up of Garfield and Stars in Their Eyes – is still a little way off, of course, launching for PC and Xbox Series X/S on 6th September. Impatient sorts with languorous internet connects can, however, begin the potentially lengthy process of downloading its 125GB of space-fun well in advance as per today’s announcement.

Those looking to play Starfield on Xbox Series X/S or on PC via the Windows Store can get their pre-load going starting tomorrow, 17th August, while Steam users will need to wait a little longer; Bethesda says preloads via Valve’s store will begin on Wednesday, 30th August.
