We had previously reported on some confusion when it came to Starfield’s review and community codes. Today we have an interesting update on it, that’s all been confirmed.
Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming rebuffed a claim that reviewers wouldn’t get to play Starfield until September 1, saying that review codes would be going out ‘next week’. He made that claim this week, and he turned out to be wrong about it, but in the good way.
Various Xbox community members and reviewers have already confirmed that they received their review codes for Starfield. We’ll run down some of the people who shared the news on Twitter:
Rand Al Thor19 is an Xbox YouTuber who runs a podcast with Windows Central’s Jez Corden called the Xbox Two podcast. Rand Al and Jez have clarified multiple times that they don’t have a direct connection within Xbox, and have often missed out on review codes and other things.
So Rand Al was excited and surprised to reveal that he received review codes himself, as you can see below:

In contrast, OJ from PlayerEssence is officially a Nintendo brand ambassador, but he does play and make videos about video games from all companies and consoles. He also revealed that he received a Starfield review code, and opined that it is receiving too much hate. To be fair, that is a strange situation for a game that didn’t get officially released yet.
