The first 30 minutes of Starfield’s gameplay has just leaked onto the internet – so tread very carefully unless you’re willing to be spoiled.

Typical of a game with the gravitational mass of Starfield, online footage has leaked spoiling the first part of the game. Footage is filmed portrait with a phone camera, is awkward and doesn’t quite capture the brilliance of the game, so we’d advise you steer clear of any spoilers here. It also seems as though it was played via Xbox Series X.

It’s not known how exactly someone got a copy of the game early, though it’s possible it was a mistake on a retailers behalf.

We’d suggest being extremely careful when browsing Reddit, YouTube and Twitter, as it’s possible footage from leaks may surface there too.

Early access starts on September 1st in the UK, while it will be available on Game Pass on September 6th and other platforms.
