Media now have copies of Starfield ahead of the game’s global review embargo later this month. Bethesda sent out review codes for the anticipated game yesterday just a day after the title went gold. The Starfield review embargo is set for 31 August at 21:00 CAT / 9 am PT / 12 pm PT / 5 pm BST.
Keep in mind that this review embargo drops 8 hours before early access customers get to play their game. It also drops 6 days before Starfield launches on Xbox Game Pass.

Unfortunately, we won’t be reviewing Starfield on the site because we weren’t supplied a review code – despite covering Starfield for over five years and being one of the largest gaming platforms in the country. Sadly, publishers don’t notice you if you’re based on the tip of Africa.
In less than two weeks you’ll get to see what media think of the latest Bethesda game. If anything, Starfield is likely the most important game launch of 2023. It is Bethesda’s first new IP in over 25 years. The game was announced back in 2018 and its development story will go down in history.
