Starfield Countdown: Xbox Game Pass & Official Release Time

It would be an understatement to say that the Starfield release has made numerous gamers restless and for justified reasons. The last major Bethesda Game Studios launch (of course, ignoring Fallout 76) was Fallout 4.

Sci-fi and space exploration have always mesmerized gamers, and Starfield is aiming to deliver a fulfilling experience withmore than 1,000 planets. Now, if you’ve bought the game or plan to, you must want to know when you can actually play it. We have created this guide to help you learn about the release date and time for Starfield in your region.
