After much anticipation, Bethesda’s highly-anticipated video game, Starfield, finally has an official release date. The game was initially set to launch on November 11, 2022, but was delayed until sometime in the first half of 2023 to ensure a high-quality product at launch. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news on the game’s release date, and today, it has been officially announced that Starfield will launch on September 6, 2023.
Delayed Release Confirmed
The game’s delay had caused disappointment among fans, but they were reassured that it was for the best, as it would result in a better quality game.

Today’s announcement confirms the game’s delay and its official release date.

Starfield will be released on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. The game is considered a strong candidate for Game of the Year in 2023, and fans are eager to see how it will perform upon release.
Potential Changes to Xbox Release Calendar
It’s possible that Starfield’s release date will lead to changes in the Xbox release calendar, but we’ll have to wait and see. For now, fans can mark September 6 on their calendars as the day they can finally experience Starfield.
