Starfield will have a series of special edition releases in addition to the base version of the game, according to a new leak. Starfield is slated for release in September, with more details promised to be revealed on Sunday, June 11 during the Starfield Direct showcase that takes place immediately after Microsoft’s annual Xbox Games Showcase.
Starfield is Bethesda’s first single-player game since Fallout 4, which was released in 2015. It is also the first new intellectual property Bethesda Games Studios has worked on in over 25 years. The idea for Starfield has been floating around the Bethesda Game Studios’ offices for nearly as long. It’s a first-person action-adventure RPG set in an expansive galaxy.
Starfield leaks were bound to hit the internet what with the Starfield Direct coming in just a few days. While details about the game itself are still mostly under wraps, prolific video game hardware leaker billbil-kun of dealabs.com has revealed that there will be three different editions of Starfield upon release. The Standard Edition will retail for €69.99 on PC, with the Xbox Series X and S version at the higher price point of €79.99. The US console version price will likely be $70.00. The PC release of the Premium Edition will retail for €104.99 with the console version going for €114.99. Finally, the Constellation Edition will cost €299.99 for both the PC and console versions. That’s around $322 US.
Leaker billbil-kun did not report details on what, exactly, differentiates the three separate editions of Starfield, nor did they provide details on their contents. All of that may be information that will be revealed by Bethesda itself during Sunday’s Starfield Direct. The direct will livestream immediately following Microsoft’s Xbox games Showcase, which begins at 1 PM Eastern, and at least one Xbox executive has promised big reveals and demonstrations, even going as far as to say that viewers should “bring an extra pair of underwear.”
Information about the Special Editions does not represent the first leaks about Starfield-related retail options. Back in the beginning of April, an unknown leaker posted the first images of a Starfield-themed Xbox controller. While some were skeptical of the leak’s validity, the leaker’s claims gained significant credibility when gamers spotted the Starfield-themed controllers that had accidentally been made available early in retail outlets like Target. Billbil-kun has reported that a Starfield-themed Xbox controller and headset are indeed set to release on June 11. The controller will retail at $79.99 with the headset going $124.99.
Starfield launches September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
