Starfield, Bethesda’s much-awaited space game, has created a buzz among gamers who can’t wait to see this amazing game. By the way, it has all chances to become the Game of the Year. Players are already planning epic voyages and preparing to spend endless hours in yet another immersive open-world RPG from Bethesda. It promises to take you to more than 1,000 planets to explore using unique spaceships in its vast cosmos.
But some avid fans who pre-ordered Starfield’s coveted Constellation Edition got messages stating that the firm canceled their purchases. What’s worse, no one explained why.
One user, Beltaine-7716, wrote: “I’m more than a little concerned about the order update I just got.” The user also attached tracking info, showing that the purchases had been canceled. Several others shared similar stories, raising the question of whether this was a bug or a widespread problem.

At this stage, this appears to have affected the PC version of the Constellation Edition, with Xbox users reporting no problems. Many people believe that the source of these strange cases is the provider. They think it’s server problems, not on purpose.
We need to note that these may be unique cases, and there is still hope that the Constellation Edition will come at launch. But with only a few copies left, more cancellations could be terrible for serious fans and Starfield lovers.
Walmart canceled Starfield pre-orders as well
Apart from this, Walmart has been called out for canceling pre-orders for the Constellation Edition. Users on Reddit and Twitter reported that their pre-orders had been charged $0.00 or canceled “by mistake”. Customer service didn’t things clear, but vice versa. When talking to buyers, they said they see no issues with purchases. Later, users got messages saying otherwise.

While some suspect that Walmart may have oversold pre-orders, it has yet to make an official statement on the matter. As the 6th of September release date approaches, those who have pre-ordered from Walmart should double check their purchases.
Starfield gameplay and more
Bethesda’s first new franchise in twenty-five years has attracted a lot of attention. It’s no surprise that people are interested in the thousand worlds that await exploration. What kind of people will we meet, and what treasures will we find in their possession? The prospect of building spaceships and learning their cargo capacity is equally enticing. We’ve been painstakingly gathering information about Starfield’s compelling storyline, interesting characters, diverse settings, and exciting gameplay ever since it was first announced. Here is everything we know about Starfield.
Release date
Starfield is scheduled to be released on 6 September 2023. It was supposed to be released on 11 November 2022, but Bethesda announced a delay in May 2022. The reason given was the teams’ ambitious vision for the game, with Arkane Austin’s Redfall and Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield both striving for polished perfection. While we’d been expecting a release in the first half of 2023, the official announcement revealed the game’s exact September release date, adding to our excitement.
Pricing
The games business seems to be going up, with Sony, Activision, and Microsoft raising the normal price of their games to $70 USD. Starfield will be similarly priced at $70. This suggests a new standard rather than a temporary increase in the cost of games. There is, however, a silver lining for Xbox Game Pass customers. Microsoft habitually adds the hottest AAA titles to Game Pass on launch day, and Starfield will be no different. Players can look forward to playing the game for free as part of their Game Pass membership.
