You’ll definitely need a few thousand hours to explore virtually everything in the game!

Starfield Game Pass crossplay

While you can purchase a Starfield Steam edition of the game, purchasing a copy directly from Microsoft with a Starfield sale or picking the game up with the Game Pass affords one major advantage: Starfield cross saves, allowing you to play on one save on both Xbox and PC.

While the advantages to this might not be immediately obvious, cross saves indirectly allow Xbox player to access Starfield console commands, Starfield mods, and more. While mods won’t carry over from PC session into Xbox sessions, major mods like the Starfield Community Patch can still be used temporarily to navigate around bugged missions or NPCs that a Starfield update has yet to address.
