Is There Starfield Early Access?
Yes, Starfield offers 5 days of early access to players who purchase the Premium or Constellation Edition of the game. Starfield early access is available on both Xbox and PC, starting on September 1, 2023.
What’s more, the good news about a midnight launch is that players on Xbox will be able to use the New Zealand Trick in order to access the game up to a day early in select regions.
As soon as early access in New Zealand drops, players all over the world will be able to experience Starfield by changing their console location to NZ.
This has been a longtime exploit that Xbox is very much aware of and even occasionally references – so there’s no harm in using it!
