Much anticipated action RPG Starfield finally releases this week.

Set within an open-world expanse of the Milky Way sometime around the year 2330, there are over a thousand planets to explore. Some are based on actual exoplanets already detected from Earth, others are generated procedurally based on the planet’s location and prevailing conditions.

Players can create and customise their own characters, with individual traits unlocking different advantages.

Planets are mineable for natural resources which can be used by player-constructed outposts to manufacture equipment, weaponry or goods for trade.

The game also includes a modular ship construction system, so players can fully customise the layout and capabilities of their ships. Spaceports allow parts to be bought, sold or repaired.

And naturally there’s combat. Players are responsible for allocating power between critical systems and they can be assisted in battle by NPCs they’ve met during their travels. If peaceful contact doesn’t work out, NPC ships can be boarded and plundered.

Starfield will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC from September 6, or for those who can’t wait early access via premium editions is available September 1.
