If Starfield is only released this Friday, September 1, 2023 in early access, the game has been in the wild for several days and has leaked on the Web. Leaks that were not at all to the taste of Bethesda.
Xbox Series players, as well as PC players, will finally be able to embark on the Starfield adventure this week. A weekend that promises to be rich and very pleasant, except for the author of the leaks. The latter risks remembering his gesture for a while…
Starfield leaker found and prosecuted
As you probably know, Starfield has been the victim of major leaks recently. Significant leaks since at least forty minutes of gameplay have been uploaded to YouTube, in addition to cutscenes, story spoilers, etc. A few days following the web incident, the person responsible was identified and arrested in Shelby County, Tennessee. Several charges have been brought once morest him.
The young man is being prosecuted for theft of property worth between $2,500 and $10,000, for theft of stolen property worth $1,000 or less, and possession of cannabis. But what earned him this arrest was his small resale business. Indeed, following getting his hands on various copies of Starfield, including the collector’s edition, he went to the Japanese e-commerce site Mercari in the hope of making a small added value. And that’s obviously where everything went wrong for him.
For the time being, it is not known whether he will receive a prison sentence, but it is a risk. When posting the video on Starfield, the author was mocked by players. Critics who had the right to a response from the person concerned. “Todd Howard, no offense, it’s a good game. It’s good work. Some say I was playing like a beginner because I’m not a video game expert. But I was just trying stuff. It’s a good game, don’t miss it.” (via my city). For once, he was not missed by Bethesda and / or Microsoft.

An Xbox Game Pass benefit removed before the game was released
Starfield will be available this Friday, September 1, 2023 for purchasers of the Constellation, Premium, or “Premium Edition Upgrade.” For everyone else, it will be September 6 on Xbox Series, PC and Xbox Game Pass. A boon for current subscribers, but less for new ones who would have liked to test the service to discover the title at a lower cost. If you go to the site, you will see that the formula at 1 euros for 14 days of trial has been removed. Previously, it had already been made less advantageous since before, for the same price, you might recover 30 days Xbox Game Pass. Bethesda and Microsoft haven’t commented, but it’s hard not to have a connection to Starfield’s upcoming release.
From its launch, Starfield wants to make an impression. This is why Bethesda wanted to allow the modding community to let their talents speak. “There’s still a lot to come and when you start to think regarding the kind of community that forms around games from Bethesda Game Studios and putting a tool like this in the hands of people who ask themselves, ‘how would you like to create a planet? This is all going to be really extraordinary. When you start seeing your community participating and adding all the different things they want to bring to it. Their own stories they want to tell…” said Pete Hines, executive editor at Bethesda.
In addition to modding, know that Starfield will have its New Game Plus mode from the outset. No need to wait weeks or months to restart a game by keeping certain equipment and others.
