With the release of Starfield fast approaching, gamers are going to take a big hit in the back of their heads due to a heavy decision by Microsoft.
It almost sounds too good to be true, but yes, in a few days you can finally get started in Starfield. If you’ve been waiting for the game since its announcement at E3 2018, congratulations for your patience and for you as for all PC and Xbox players, we hope that Bethesda’s work will live up to expectations. Some hoped to be able to test it without breaking the bank but no luck, Microsoft is preparing for the launch of its big cartridge and this once again impacts the Xbox Game Pass.
A blow for players waiting for Starfield
If you were planning to get into Starfield with Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s decision may make you reconsider your plans. Indeed, against all odds, the company has just put an end to an offer that has definitely not stopped evolving for a few months. This is the one that allowed you to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass for € 1 for your first 14 days of subscription, which no longer appears at all on the official Xbox website. A huge blow to those hoping to enjoy Starfield for less. We imagine that this umpteenth change just before the launch of the Bethesda title is not innocent and surely calculated on the part of Microsoft.
Last March, the €1 offer had already suddenly disappeared without warning, causing a lot of frustration among players. She had made her return, still without an official announcement, in July, but less interesting. The trial had gone from 30 days to just 14 days. A small nerve that already felt the preparations upstream of the arrival of Starfield, but Microsoft judged that two weeks should already be too much to take advantage of its exclusivity without breaking the bank. Inevitably, those who thought they had found the ultimate trick expressed their dissatisfaction more or less strongly.
Will the players still respond?
To play Starfield with Game Pass for a month, you will therefore have to pay €14.99 with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, €10.99 for Xbox Game Pass Console and €10.99 for PC Game Pass. Well, we imagine that those who want to play Starfield more than anything will not be put off by this development.
Especially since the title of Bethesda promises to be absolutely huge, not only thanks to the work of the studio, but also thanks to the contribution of modders. Indeed, Pete Hines, the company’s publishing director, recently stated that the community could actually create new planets in the game. early access.
