Can't access Starfield via Game Pass, even with Premium Upgrade

Hi, my name is Ezequiel and thank you for your question and for reaching out. Hello Liam how are you?

There are many players downloading the game at the same time, the server is very overloaded, I suggest you have a little patience and wait a while.

Hi, my name is Ezequiel and thank you for your question and for reaching out. Hello John E53 how are you?

If you bought the Starfield Premium Edition full game, you already have the full game and with the DLCs already included. It is not necessary to purchase a Game Pass subscription.

If you purchased the premium edition upgrade, it is required that you purchase the Starfield Standard Edition base game, or download the game via Game Pass subscription.

As a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, this is what you need to buy for early access and all the bells and whistles

Whenever I launch the game it comes up with a screen saying “you are too early” and I can’t play even though I bought the premium upgrade and have the game pass version of Starfield and I don’t know how to fix it

It's important to note that Starfield will launch on Xbox Game Pass on day one, so subscribers don't need to purchase a copy of the game.

Hey Ben, so the question they are asking, and also I am wondering, is will the "Premium Upgrade" apply to both versions of the game? Yes, we are aware that the game is available free on game pass and is available on both Xbox Console and PC, but that's not the question. We want to know if we purchase the premium upgrade on one device (which also allows us to play the game with earky access), will it apply to both my console and PC versions of the game. Will I get early access on both devices, as well as the DLC that is included with the premium upgrade?
