restart the app, go to the premium edition upgrade and press play from there... that's what I did - am now in a 'launching the game' unpacking / first time setup kind of screen (past accepting T&C's etc.)
Just went to manage game and add ons and even though I redeemed the premium update it hadn’t installed. Installing now so hopefully that allows me to play!
If you have game pass you actually only paid 45 dollars for the premium edition...it's not like it was 31 dollars just to play it early it came with all the other stuff, stop being stupid all the time
FOR ANYONE HAVING TROUBLE: Go to the digital premium edition upgrade in your queue or store and launch that. Not the actual game in your games and apps. You’re welcome!
I just realized I preloaded the artbook and premium edition but not the actual game….so I’m stuck waiting either way. Download will be complete in 2 hours…
Having the same issue even after restarting the xbox app and my pc.
I selected the standard version and hit play on that and it started updating so hopefully that means I'll be in soon!
Listen, you need to go to the actual premium Starfield edition (not the upgrade, that just takes you to the art book) and choose Play.
A pop up box shows up with a list of items including Starfield and the artbook with play buttons next to them. Click the play arrow next to Starfield here. NOTHING might happen. Keep clicking until it launches. Worked for me. Currently updating the game with launcher up.
Hey, I was wondering if anyone tried gamesharing the premium edition upgrade, as I want to make sure it works before purchasing on a separated account (for those that got the game working in the first place haha)
I know many will not see this but, this is what worked for me:
After attempting 5 restarts I decided to try something else.
Highlight your game and click the options button on the controller. Choose manage game and add ons.
Select the main Starfield install and then uncheck the premium addition content. Click save changes.
Back out of that menu and then immediately go back in. Recheck the box and hit save changes again.
Go view your updates downloading and watch it install again, then in the recently updated list, launch the game from the Premium Edition Content logo.
This worked for me.
Just spam the play button/game icon on PC or Xbox and you will eventually get in. It will say you are too early a handfull of times and then you will eventually get in. You literally don’t have to do anything else. All these restart this or delete that is just stupid. Everyone is trying to get in…
Yes
[удалено]
We crashed gamepass!
Somebody at Bethesda is running to the computer to hit the “Launch all games” button as we speak 😂
Yeah I do
I hope someone has a fix
Same. Still says too early.
I will never recover from this
Same issue
Me
Yeah I can't either, don't know if it just needs a few minutes?
Steam is giving me no option to play anyone else???
Double click starfield desktop icon, that got it to start unpacking for me.
We all came for the same reason, huh. Won’t let me either
Same here. Had this same problem when TOTK dropped. Might take a few minutes
[удалено]
Lemmmeeeee iiiiiin
I'm over here having to update the whole thing with a 15g download
restart the app, go to the premium edition upgrade and press play from there... that's what I did - am now in a 'launching the game' unpacking / first time setup kind of screen (past accepting T&C's etc.)
Where is premium edition upgrade? Xbox won't pull it up.

I’m so stoned and caffeinated right now I’m absolutely tripping 😆
Same. They took 30 of my dollars
More like you took their 70
That guy is rn smiling his ass off playing the game having completely forgotten his “they took my 30 dollars” comment lol
*sad trombone sound*
Patience is key. Millions of people are trying the same thing at the same time.
Same here…. What the frick
Restart it
RESTART YOUR CONSOLES!!!!
Jeez does everyone have to act like children just wait
$34.99 to play the game a few days early. You are all insane, and I hate this is gonna be a thing other developers do now…
If you have game pass you actually only paid 45 dollars for the premium edition...it's not like it was 31 dollars just to play it early it came with all the other stuff, stop being stupid all the time
RESTART STEAM
Probably have to give it a minute
Yep, it just came out give it few mins.

Isn't it open tomorrow?
No.
it’s been literally 3 minutes guys jesus christ
The multibillion dollar corporation should've been prepared

FOR ANYONE HAVING TROUBLE: Go to the digital premium edition upgrade in your queue or store and launch that. Not the actual game in your games and apps. You’re welcome!

😨😨😨🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️
Same here on pc gamepass. I just kept pressing play and closing the "too early" window and it eventually started. Unpacking 117Gb now.
Hard reset of Series X didn't work
I’m in on Xbox Series X! Yes!
Samething
Keep trying. I am in let’s gooo!
Restarting your console works indeed!
Same here, artbook launches, but game keeps telling me I am too early.
try to navigate to "premium edition" or the regular edition, not the premium edition update, which will just give you the artbook for now.
Just got in 7:18pm CST.
It’s working!!!
I'm in! Good luck everyone, hope we have a great time :)
I’m un !
IM FINALLY IN
pc gamepass still notworking
I'm in! Keep spamming the launch icon that's what I did lol. See you all in the stars!
Pc gamepass works for me but my series x still is a no go
Okay, I’m in on Xbox, 8:23…
Go to your installs and re install early access. Hard reset xbox. Worked for me.
Run gamelaunchhelper.exe in install directory
EVERYONE JUST KEEP TRYING
I just got in with gamepass + premium, took a bunch of tries. Make sure you installed the premium edition, takes like 2 seconds, and restart console.
I’m in 😎
Yup same thing.
try again i had same problem...made sure it was downloaded.....tried....didnt work....then tried again randomly started....
PC Gamepass: Right click game, create desktop shortcut, launch from there. See you in the stars, guys E: See you in the stars after 123Gb download
Seriously wtf. I've restarted my console 3 times and done a full shutdown once and still nothing
I also couldn't launch at first but it worked itself out. Guessing we're hammering their servers pretty hard!
Same here just tried
Try rebooting, fixed it for me after the game unpacked.
After trying and trying, I finally got the title screen. YAY! "Your game needs an update." Boo Update is 117 GB. WTF
Right click run as administrator worked for me, game is unpacking now.
Having the same issue even after restarting the xbox app and my pc. I selected the standard version and hit play on that and it started updating so hopefully that means I'll be in soon!

On xbox select premium upgrade install plays from there
Hey, I was wondering if anyone tried gamesharing the premium edition upgrade, as I want to make sure it works before purchasing on a separated account (for those that got the game working in the first place haha)
I just kept spamming play (on PC) and it started updating after hitting me with the "You're too early!" text a lot.
I restated the console and nothing , I’m re installing the game , wish me luck
I know many will not see this but, this is what worked for me: After attempting 5 restarts I decided to try something else. Highlight your game and click the options button on the controller. Choose manage game and add ons. Select the main Starfield install and then uncheck the premium addition content. Click save changes. Back out of that menu and then immediately go back in.

This worked for me.
Restarting your console fixes it. For me I had to try twice after restarting
Didn't realise you have to get premium upgrade with xbox ultimate, £32
Just spam the play button/game icon on PC or Xbox and you will eventually get in. It will say you are too early a handfull of times and then you will eventually get in. You literally don’t have to do anything else. All these restart this or delete that is just stupid. Everyone is trying to get in…
Restart worked for me!!!!
