It's also on Gamepass. You can play it instantly for a much lower cost to make sure it works. Then buy it if you still want later when it goes on sale.
Comment on Starfield Launch Details, PC Specs & More

I will say once more. Do not preorder video games. It could be shit, it could be buggy, but what it won’t do is run out of copies. Wait until the reviews are out, or even a bit after it launches if you can. If you’re anything like me you have hundreds of games you haven’t played yet so what’s an hour or a day in the grand scheme of things.

Doesn’t work on linux

Duh, the reason there’s Game Pass on PC is for people to stay on Windows. Microsoft saw the writing on the wall when Valve released SteamOS and scrambled for a way to keep people on Windows.
And it’s working for me (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Send help.

No, MS wanted to compete with PlayStation Plus. Linux constitutes about 2% of users on steam. MS doesn’t care about Linux gaming.

We need a LSW to run the Windows store on Linux as a pacakge manager
Squeak@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Linux isn’t officially supported anyway. That’s like saying it doesn’t work on PlatStation…

They’ve applied for steamdeck compatibility review
tills13@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Self inflicted problem.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Give it some time. Valve is going to work overtime to get it Steam Deck compatible.

I was burned too bad with Cyberpunk 2077 that even though Starfield seems to be all right, I’m waiting until after reviews come out before I pick up a copy. That just means I wait a few more days to reduce the risk of more pain.
Lethtor@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Cyberpunk also seemed alright, even the reviews were glowing. Well, we all know how that turned out
DulyNoted@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Man I wish I could even get a consistent impression out of anyone. I’ve been scrounging for pre-release footage but Beth is being weirdly tight lipped about this one.
100% a wait for the reviews situation, the less they show off the more I worry they’re hiding something. Just a reminder to everyone, Fallout 76 was the last game they released…
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I agree completely and would like to add especially if it’s a Bethesda game. I can still remember waiting for half a year for Skyrim to be playable on PS3 after buying it on launch day.
ComradeKeen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m normally with you but the opportunity to play it on a long Labor Day weekend was calling my wallet to soon
jwagner7813@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is part of the reason why they chose the launch day
oryx@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Same, and with Game Pass it was just a $30 upgrade. The only stuff I pre-order is stuff I know I’ll like anyway - mainly Destiny expansions and TES/Fallout/Starfield. I’m gonna buy it anyway, why not pre-load it and play immediately?
rambaroo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Say list wait for reviews to come out
DulyNoted@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Being downvoted for sense. What a world.

That’s how I’m feeling… Reviews are coming in pretty positively. Can you pick it up on steam and play now?
Sneptaur@pawb.social 1 year ago
It’s a Bethesda game. It wouldn’t feel right if it were bug-free.
pancakes@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
It wouldn’t feel right if it didn’t have the exact same bugs as the last 4 Bethesda releases.
Lesrid@lemm.ee 1 year ago
If anything is moving backwards through the air, you know it was bolted on to code for Skyrim’s dragons
WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The reviews have mentioned it does actually have an enemy that is this games dragon lol
Redditiscancer789@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A news article was released today that said starfield is the least buggy Bethesda game to date. Fluff but man that sure puts some expectations out there to live up too.
Sneptaur@pawb.social 1 year ago
I hope I will be pleasantly surprised then!
CoderKat@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Honestly, with how long it’s been in development, I can totally believe it. And sure hope so. I mean, it’s been so long and I’ve also been constantly thinking about how long it’s been since Skyrim came out (since it’s been publicly stated that TES6 was blocked behind Starfield). All that time has gotta mean something. And it’s not like Bethesda doesn’t have great talent. I’ve always got the impression it was all a matter of lack of time for the size of the game.
