Those buying an Xbox Series X can get a free Starfield copy at select retailers, including Verizon and Target.
Starfield is a popular game, with the title reaching over 10 million players since its global launch this month. Of course, aside from being available digitally and at retailers, Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG is also available on Game Pass. Those who haven’t bought the game just yet or aren’t subscribed to Microsoft’s game subscription service can now get a free copy of the game when purchasing an Xbox Series X. Both Target and Verizon are bundling the game for free with Microsoft’s Series X console for ‘only’ $499.99. Interestingly enough, Target’s offer isn’t limited to Starfield, but it also works with various Xbox Series X titles, including Madden NFL 24, the new Mortal Kombat 1, Hogwarts Legacy, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, and more.
As said, Verizon is currently offering a special limited-time Xbox Series X bundle with a free copy of Starfield for $499.99 (normally $569.98). This item is only available online, and those purchasing the bundle need to be at least 17 years old.
I read that to mean it’s a digital download only and not a physical copy in stores, but didn’t put much thought into it.
