Today we are looking at the different versions (as well as some other cool Starfield gear) of Starfield that are available to you so you can make sure you are getting the one that is right for you.

When Is It Out And What Is It On?

Starfield will be released on September 6^th (if you get the standard version) for Xbox Series X/S and PC. This is an Xbox exclusive so this is the only place you can play the game!

It has a very classy look to it and the red back and clear triggers really does give it a ton of personality. This is priced at $79,99 and you can get the controller right now!

Starfield Limited Edition Headset

As well as a limited edition controller, you can also get a Starfield Limited Edition Headset that is priced at $124,99.

What Edition Of Starfield Should I Buy?

If you are a big physical game collector, you will definitely want to make sure you actually buy the Starfield: Standard Edition, you can always upgrade to the Premium Edition if you know that you want the story DLC. Of course, as Starfield is going to be on Game Pass, you can always just play it on there and then decide if you want to “actually” add the game to your collection. The Starfield: Constellation Edition is for those of you that love your collectors’ editions and who have been hyped for Starfield for a very long time! That is one awesome looking watch, but only you can decide if it is worth the price of admission!

No matter what, Starfield is a must play game if you are an Xbox Series gamer and you only have a few months to wait!
