Starfield Direct event showcases gameplay, limited edition accessories, new media & more!

The Xbox Games Showcase had a lot of cool stuff to show off, as hoped, but there was one obvious first party/Xbox console exclusive title that everyone most definitely were over-the-moon excited to see more of: Starfield.

Bethesda’s space-themed RPG has been 25 years in the making, and finally, it’s set to release for Xbox Series X|S consoles and the PC this September. Huzzah!  In order to contain all that excitement, there was a separate Starfield Direct event with a plethora of additional info and media, which you can check out below.

Take a look at a few flavors of gameplay video (in the form of a deep dive and trailer), and some new screens too.  And if you’re looking to go all-in on some of the more content complete editions, there’s info for the Constellation Edition and Premium Editions and the Starfield Limited Edition Wireless Xbox Controller and Headset for those looking for some slick new Xbox accessories to go along with the game.

Starfield is scheduled to launch on September 6th, 2023 for the Xbox Series X|S, PC and Game Pass.

Starfield is the first new universe in over 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. In this next generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, create your character and explore with unparalleled freedom as you embark on an epic journey to answer humanity’s greatest mystery.

In the year 2330, humanity has ventured beyond our solar system, settling new planets, and living as a spacefaring people. You will join Constellation – the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy – and navigate the vast expanse of space in Bethesda Game Studios’ biggest and most ambitious game.

Along the way you will join in the adventures of various factions; pilot and customize your own ship; explore planets and discover their local flora, fauna, and resources; build outposts; and master a refined combat system to deal with threats of all kinds.
