The $100 Starfield Premium and $300 Constellation editions of Starfield allow you to play the game up to five days early, starting September 1 instead of September 6. But you don't have to spend that much to jump in ahead of time.
Microsoft is also offering a $35 Premium Edition upgrade (or $31.50 if you have Game Pass) that includes the early access perk, as well as the Shattered Space story expansion (when it releases) and in-game items like the Equinox Laser Rifle and more. Players also get the Starfield digital art book and soundtrack.

In other news, Starfield preorders are already steeply discounted, so if you're planning to buy the game, now might be a good time to lock in your order. Everyone who preorders Starfield gets the Old Mars Skin Pack, which includes a variety of in-game skins.
