Cheapest Way to Play Starfield: Insider Tips and Tricks for Affordable Gameplay

Discover the Cheapest Way to Play Starfield

Starfield is set to revolutionize the gaming world, becoming one of those iconic RPG games that fans can’t get enough of. However, in today’s expensive gaming landscape, finding the most cost-effective way to play Starfield is essential.

To start, opting for the Standard Edition rather than the more premium package is a wise choice. While the premium edition offers some extra features, exclusive skins, and early access to the game, the core experience of Starfield is what truly matters and is the main source of excitement for fans.

The Standard Edition is priced at $69.99 / £59.99, which may seem steep. Fortunately, if you reside in the UK, you can purchase it through Fanatical at a delightful 17% discount, bringing the price down to £49.97. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent reduction in price for players in the US.

However, there is an even more economical way to play – Game Pass. Previously, Microsoft offered a fantastic deal of the first month of Game Pass Ultimate for just $1 (£1). Although that offer has expired, it’s still worth grabbing a Game Pass subscription after reading our Starfield review.

For those solely interested in playing Starfield, the Game Pass PC subscription is only $9.99 / £7.99 per month. If you are confident that you will continue playing the game religiously for seven months or longer, purchasing the Standard Edition is the way to go. However, if you believe that your interest in the game will wane before seven months, Game Pass PC offers significant savings of approximately $10 per month.

In the UK, the Game Pass PC subscription is cost-effective for six months before it becomes pricier than the Fanatical discount. The duration depends on how frequently you play and how quickly you accomplish what you want in the game. Nevertheless, some players will undoubtedly remain engaged for years.

So, if you plan on playing Starfield for an extended period, invest in the Starfield Standard Edition. Alternatively, if you anticipate moving on to other gaming pursuits within the next 6-7 months, Game Pass PC is the more economical choice. For those who love a bargain, waiting ten years until the game becomes available second-hand for $10 is also a viable option – just like those who recently started playing Assassins Creed: Brotherhood.
