Publisher Bethesda will release the SciFi role-playing game Starfield on September 6, but many review codes are already circulating. This is excellent for an assessment of the game before release, but the problem with leaks remains.
For a long time, only the head of Starfield, Todd Howard himself, was allowed to talk about Bethesda’s new game. Meanwhile, control has been somewhat relinquished: the first editorial teams and content creators are already playing.
This also brought the first leaks. Statements about the condition, the design, and initial impressions are making the rounds.
The people at Bethesda do not like the leaks at all. However, Senior Director of PR, Matt Frary, is even more bothered by one thing. Why there is a greater risk of leaks compared to the past and what Frary criticizes about the reporting, you can find out here on MeinMMO.

What bothers the PR chief? On Twitter / X, the senior employee of Bethesda expressed his frustration:
Tweet translation: “Everyone knows that I can’t stand leaks. However, I like media reporting on the leaks even less. If the major sites do this to circumvent embargoes they have on their own [review] codes? Oh, I really don’t like that. Even with the insignificant and false [leaks].”

Why is the leak risk for Starfield so high? As Paul Tassi from Forbes reports, Bethesda was much more generous with the review key distribution for Starfield than for previous titles (via forbes.com).
Tassi reports of content creators with a few thousand subscribers on Twitch or YouTube who managed to obtain an early version of Starfield. And that two weeks before the start of early access, three weeks before the full release.
He praises Bethesda’s approach. There will be many tests and reviews of Starfield for the embargo case on August 30.
But correspondingly high is now also the risk that important information and spoilers of Starfield will circulate before the release.
