If you’re like any other Bethesda fan out there, you’ll be dying to know the regional early access release times for Starfield. The Space Odyssey adventure has been years in the making, and players will finally be able to leap into the cosmos and explore whole new worlds. It’s been an agonizing five-year wait after the game’s initial announcement, and if you can’t wait for a second longer, then here are the regional early access times for Starfield.
Starfield Regional Early Access Release Times
If you picked up the Premium or Constellation editions of the game, the release times for the early access period will vary depending on your timezone, as revealed on Starfield’s official website. A lucky few will have a full day ahead of them to experience Starfield for the first time. Players based in Europe haven’t been quite so fortunate and will need to stock up on plenty of caffeine if they want to dive into the game immediately.
The full list of regional early access times is as follows:
- Los Angeles – August 31 – 5 PM
- Ciudad de Mexico – August 31 – 6 PM
- Chicago – August 31 – 7 PM
- New York – August 31 – 8 PM
- Sao Paulo – August 31 – 9 PM
- London – September 1 – 1 AM
- Paris – September 1 – 2 AM
- Berlin – September 1 – 2 AM
- Saudi Arabia – September 1 – 3 AM
- India – September 1 – 5:30 AM
- Eastern China – September 1 – 8 AM
- Japan – September 1 – 9 AM
- Sydney – September 1 – 10 AM
- Auckland – September 1 – 12 PM
There is quite a bit of variation between the different time zones, but the one silver lining is that the early access periods will kick off simultaneously for each region. This means that players will not need to mess with their console settings or be forced to endure an extended wait while others enjoy the game.
Players who picked up the standard edition of Starfield will have to wait until its full release on September 6. If you’re hoping to play it on Game Pass then it will arrive on the platform on the same day.
