As has started becoming the norm for a lot of companies, Bethesda gave players a chance to get early access to Starfield by purchasing one of its more expensive editions. This includes the Constellation Edition, which will let you play Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG five days before it launches on September 6.
The bundle includes a steelbook case, a replica of the in-game Chronomark Watch, a big case for it, a patch, as well as the game’s first story expansion called Shattered Space. That also includes some other digital goodies like a new skin pack, the soundtrack, and a digital art book, all on top of a digital code for the game. Because who among us doesn’t love to spend a bunch of money to get a steelbook just to not have the disc inside, am I right?
As of this writing, Bethesda has yet to put the edition up for pre-order or confirm the price. A $US300 ($416) price tag leaked last week, but the company has yet to actually drop that particular bomb in any official capacity. If you’re a Bethesda fan, you might think that’s worth it, but maybe it’s just me getting older that makes a $US300 ($416) collector’s edition feel like such an astronomical purchase, especially on a new IP you don’t know if you’re even gonna like yet. But if you want to play the game early, that is one perk of the package.
