Bethesda's Starfield RPG has been described as "Skyrim in Space", which explains why its one of the most highly anticipated games of the new console generation. The wait officially ends today, September 6th, 2023. Indeed, Starfield is now out in the wild, and many gamers out there might be wondering whether or not they should pick up an Xbox Series X|S to play it. If you are one of those gamers, GameStop has a deal that you might want to take advantage of.

So, with the trade-in and bonus, you should be able to take a significant chunk out of the price of that Xbox Series X. All you need to do is bring any console to your nearest GameStop for a trade-in before September 16th to score the additional credit. 

As for the game itself, you can order Starfield in a standard edition, Premium Edition, Premium Upgrade Edition, and Constellation Edition here at GameStop, or pick it up in the store when you get your new Xbox Series X.

Starfield Review

ComicBook's Tanner Dedmon gave Starfield a 4 out of 5 and although there were some notable issues, it didn't stop him from praising the game: "My opinion of Starfield is overall high despite what the many criticisms outlined here might suggest. It's a Bethesda RPG, and even Bethesda's middling options blow competitors out of the water when it comes to choice and freedom, so Starfield was always going to be a success. Whether it's enough of a success to uplift Xbox and make someone buy a new console is another discussion, but Starfield itself is perfectly competent and – dare I say it – fun, and even the most frustrating moments were unable to deter me from wanting more."
