Hope this is ok, looked and could not see one already there

I'm guessing this game will be very popular and a fair few on here will play it, so thought i would start this.

Well i just got a preload notification from Steam, 116GB space required.

Can't wait.

Steam says it is available now

Solaris17 · Aug 30, 2023

I'm pre-loading mine too atm.

Vayra86 · Aug 30, 2023

Launch drama in 3...2...1...

FoulOnWhite · Aug 30, 2023

Steam crash in 3...2...1...

Can't wait to see this

Ferrum Master · Aug 30, 2023

Are you crazy guys? It is Bethsoft... you shouldn't touch it after 10th patch of open alpha test.

Taraquin · Aug 30, 2023

Looking forward to "No mans Skyrim"

Space Lynx · Aug 30, 2023

I got a free copy with my 7900 xt, but i don't get the steam key for that until like 1pm on September 1st, that's when amd rewards says the key unlocks. So no preload for me, but I am looking forward to it.

Chrispy_ · Aug 30, 2023

Thanks for beta-testing it for me chaps. I'll install once it's had a couple of months of major bugfixes.

Space Lynx · Aug 30, 2023

To be fair, bugs can be fun sometimes. So i am approaching all of this with an open mind and going to just enjoy the ride.

Sithaer · Aug 30, 2023

Gonna try it on gamepass since I have it active till december or so. 'it was a gift to me in late 2022'
Don't really game that much nowadays so I will just test it there and depending on how the game is/how much time I will have for gaming I might buy it later this year.

Easy Rhino · Aug 30, 2023

I am volunteering as beta tester! Edit: that means i will play the official release with everyone else and help work out the bugs. :laugh:

c2DDragon · Aug 30, 2023

I can't wait to face the bugs too !
I'm sure it will be a very good game.
The early access starts Friday at 2 am in France...I can't wait to be this week-end and crash into bugged asteroids !

FoulOnWhite · Aug 30, 2023

3 of my friends have bought it too. Dale thinks it is going to be a surprise hit.

It will be a hit alright.
For starters, it hits your pocket. Then there'll be probably a performance hit, and here's hoping it isn't a s-hit in the end.

GerKNG · Aug 30, 2023

still waiting for my amd reward unlock...

Holy crap that's a great idea. I'm not going to feed Bethesda 70 bucks for another Creation Engine shitfest, but this... this sounds doable. Do they still have promotions if I've never subbed once?

Y'know what they say when 'a game is fun with friends'...

Chomiq · Aug 30, 2023

Hold up, Dale's buying Starfield?!

Did the retailer not provide you a code? When I redeemed the reward for my 7800X3D it was instant. I did have to contact Newegg to get the code though.

Remeca · Aug 30, 2023

I'll install it on the HDD and see how it goes.

I'm going to have to grab my Steam Key from AMD's Rewards site at lunch and get the DL started. I accidentally ended up in a situation where I have two keys; one premium and one standard. I think that the standard key will make a good b-day present for one of my friends.

Belfaborac · Aug 30, 2023

Preloading at 21%. I'm hugely looking forward to it and since I'm not a 14yo with little impulse control and no other games to play, any bugs present won't bother me one bit. Nor has Bethsoft's bugs bothered me the slightest in the past and despite the utterly predictable forum launch dramas I've played their games (TES and FO) more than any other games I own, by a factor of at least 10.
