Wanting to know when the Starfield embargo lifts? We have a copy of the game and you can read our Starfield review right here. If you’re wanting to know how the embargo went down despite the fact it has now passed though, read on.
We at VideoGamer have been fortunate enough to be one of the UK outlets to get a Starfield review copy for the new game, and we’re hard at work at digging into the game to bring you our definitive verdict. Of course, being a massive RPG from Bethesda this will be no small undertaking, but you can bet we’ve got our finest reviewing minds on the job. So that just leaves one question – when can you actually read our review?
It’s worth saying that a number of outlets have not had a review copy of Starfield as yet, including the likes of Eurogamer. So some reviews may be published after the initial embargo, so please keep an eye out. Once the review is live and you want to know when you can actually play? Well, head right along to our handy Starfield start time page, right this way.
When does the Starfield review embargo lift?
The Starfield review embargo lifts on Thursday, August 31 at 5pm BST/12PM ET/9 AM PT. You’ll be able to read all about our time with the game, how we feel it plays and just whether it’ll be worth your hard earned cash. Rest assured, this will be a spoiler-free review. It’s also just a few hours before the early access period goes live – so for many who have peordered the game, the reviews will come just in time to see how Bethesda’s latest fares.
