All Starfield Edition Differences Listed

Bethesda has proudly announced that Starfield is coming on September 6, 2023. Despite the small controversy about the 30 FPS cap on Xbox, I have high hopes that everything will work out well in the end as with most of the classic Bethesda game titles. Bethesda has also announced all Starfield editions that you can pre-order. Below, you will see all Starfield Editions and their differences. There’s the Constellation Edition, Premium Edition, and all sorts of things, so hop on in and enjoy the fun!

What are the Starfield Constellation Edition Pre-Order Bonuses?

Starfield Constellation Edition includes:

• Starfield Base Game
• Shattered Space Story Expansion (will be available automatically upon its release)
• * Up to five days of early access to Starfield
• ** Starfield Chronomark Watch and Case
• *** SteelBook® Display Case
• Constellation Skin Pack: Equinox Laser Rifle, Spacesuit, Helmet, and Boost Pack
• Access to Starfield Digital Artbook & Original Soundtrack
• ** Constellation Patch
• Credit Stick with Laser-Etched Game Code

Now, you see a lot of asterisks up there, here’s what Bethesda has to say about these:

*Actual playtime depends on the purchase date and is subject to possible outages and applicable time zone differences.

This is of course, pretty normal to see as a disclaimer. New Zealand gamers might get the game earlier, who knows?

**Disclaimer: Phone connectivity is limited. The Starfield Chronomark watch does not transmit phone calls, does not support cellular service, and is not a touchscreen device.

This disclaimer serves to pretty much inform you about what the Starfield Chronomark is and isn’t.

***Only available at select retailers.

Sadly, not every retailer will be able to distribute the Constellation Edition for Starfield.

Where to Buy the Starfield Chronomark Watch and How Much Is It?

Sadly, the Starfield Chronomark Watch is currently only available as a pre-order bonus for the physical pre-order bundle called “Starfield Constellation Edition”. At this moment, it’s not sold separately, but I have a reason to believe that the third-party marketplaces will have them at some point, at who knows what price.

Where to Buy the Starfield Constellation Edition

I have found the Constellation Edition on a couple of websites, however, the stock is very limited or already out of stock:

• Bethesda Official
• BestBuy US Xbox and PC Version
• Walmart Xbox and PC Version
• JBHIFI (Australia) Xbox and PC Version
• Game.Co.Uk Xbox and PC Version

Also, Restock Tracker should be of great help! I have a sad premonition that many of these bundles will end up on Craigslist or eBay due to the everlasting scalper problem in our community. A lot of these sites allow you to make one order per account, which should help mitigate this trend, but you never know how witty these people are…

What are the Differences Between Regular and Premium Edition in Starfield?

It’s important to know that there are differences not just between the Regular and Premium Editions of Starfield, but between the two Premium Editions as well (given that one is Digital, which just exists in your account’s game library, and the other is Physical, which you get shipped to your doorstep and enjoy some merch).

What are the Starfield Physical Premium Edition Pre-Order Bonuses?

Everything you get with the Digital Premium Edition, you also get with the Physical Premium Edition. On top of that, you will be getting (Disclaimer: Available when purchased from participating retailers):

• SteelBook® Display Case
• Constellation Patch

And there you go, this is everything you need to know about the Starfield Editions. The Starfield Chronowatch is certainly something that might be exciting to own, especially if Starfield IP takes off for Bethesda. Then, if you manage to get your hands on this contraption device, you may be happily surprised if its value skyrockets in a decade or so. Please note that this is not investment advice and that you should not hoard these watches.
