While Starfield's global release for PC and Xbox Series X and S is still pending, a fortunate group of fans have already had the privilege of experiencing the game. Recently, one such individual, @Memphian94, shared initial footage from the retail version, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the upcoming title.

Although @Memphian94 has chosen not to unveil further footage, possibly to safeguard their YouTube channel, they did provide an update today through an early review of the game. While the review doesn't delve extensively into the game's specifics or its content, it is replete with commendation. This praise carries significant weight, particularly since the reviewer admitted that this genre of game wasn't their usual preference. Interestingly, they playfully apologized to Todd Howard, stating, "Todd, no offense man, that's a good game."

Starfield is poised to be a monumental addition to the gaming world, and modders have already revealed their intention to extend their support from the game's inception. This announcement brings excellent tidings, especially for PC users, particularly those equipped with an NVIDIA RTX GPU. Modder Puredark affirmed that they will be introducing mod support for DLSS 2 and 3 upon the game's launch. This is noteworthy as these features were originally absent due to AMD's sponsorship.

The anticipation surrounding Bethesda's first new intellectual property in years has been palpable, and the countdown is nearly over. Early Access for Starfield is scheduled to commence at 12 AM GMT on September 1st, while the game's official release for all players is a few days later, on September 6th. Starfield will be available on PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S platforms.
