The Starfield release window has been reconfirmed via a freshly-launched support page for Bethesda’s upcoming sci-fi action RPG.
Back in May of last year, Bethesda announced that both Starfield and Arkane’s Redfall would be delayed to the first half of 2023. According to the publisher, to allow for additional polishing and to ensure that players receive the best versions of these titles.
“We’ve made the decision to delay the launches of Redfall and Starfield to the first half of 2023”, Bethesda wrote. “The teams at Arkane Austin (Redfall) and Bethesda Game Studios (Starfield) have incredible ambitions for their games, and we want to ensure that you receive the best, most polished versions of them.”
The exact release dates for both games have yet to be revealed, but some months ago, Microsoft’s Matt Booty said that Starfield will release after Redfall. Interestingly enough, recent rumors appear to suggest that Bethesda and Microsoft are targeting an early May release for Redfall, and this might imply that Starfield is coming in June.
While we’re still waiting for a release date confirmation, Starfield’s official support page has now reconfirmed the release frame set by Bethesda back in May of last year.
“Starfield arrives exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and PC in the first half of 2023”, the support page for Starfield reads.
If the recent Redfall release rumor is indeed true, and Microsoft is still planning to release that title first, it seems that a June 2023 release for Starfield is highly likely. As always, we’ll keep you updated on this matter. For now, stay tuned.
