After a successful early access period, Starfield’s worldwide launch is almost here. If you’re wondering when Starfield arrives in your time zone, here’s a breakdown of all the release times.

Starfield has been in development for some time, as Bethesda aim to deliver their most ambitious game to date. The devs have promised an enormous universe to explore, featuring over 1,000 planets full of vast cities and plenty of unique characters to meet.

Early access players have already taken to the stars and begun chipping away at the dozens of missions and activities to complete. But for those who pre-ordered the Standard Edition or are waiting for the Games Pass release, the launch is just around the corner.

Here are all the Starfield release times depending on your time zone.

What time does Starfield release?

Starfield’s official launch is on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, at 12 AM UTC, after the early access period began on September 1. This means that the game will go live for Standard Edition owners or Game Pass subscribers at different times across different time zones.
