Leaked: Starfield Xbox Headset Available Now at Select Retailers!
Microsoft's highly anticipated Starfield headset and controller have surfaced at select retailers prior to its official unveiling, confirming previous rumors and generating excitement among gaming enthusiasts
Ahead of the highly anticipated release of Starfield, fans of Bethesda have caught a glimpse of the limited edition headset and controller based on the game. The internet has been buzzing with excitement ever since a picture of the Starfield-themed controller surfaced online around two weeks ago, and rumors of an accompanying themed headset were even discussed on the Xbox Era podcast by K. Asante. While initial rumors were met with skepticism, it is now widely expected that Microsoft's Xbox Showcase on June 11, 2023 will be the official unveiling of the two Starfield-themed peripherals. As more information has become available, the credibility of these rumors has only grown stronger.
The rumored Starfield headset and controller have been spotted at German retailers Saturn and Mediamarkt. As of writing, these items are only available in-store and are not listed on the retailers' websites. Although Microsoft has not officially announced the limited edition peripherals, their presence in stores confirms their existence. Fans who were hoping the rumors were true can now rejoice. Some Reddit users are speculating that a Starfield-themed Xbox console may also be released, but there is currently no information to support this claim.
For Xbox fans, Starfield is one of the most highly anticipated games set to release in 2023, especially after the lackluster release of Redfall. Critics were somewhat more forgiving, giving Redfall a Metacritic score of 53, but users collectively scored it unfavorably with a 2.1. Some even called the game "unplayable" and "garbage." The fact that Redfall received five different limited edition controllers led some to believe that Starfield would receive at least one, and the recently leaked image confirms this speculation.
It has been announced that Starfield will have three different editions available for purchase, although no information has been released regarding the contents of each. There has been speculation that one of the editions may come with themed peripherals, but this has not been confirmed. Fans can look forward to learning more about what they can expect from the upcoming Starfield Direct. The highly anticipated game is set to launch on September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
