Ahead of its release, Starfield has created a buzz in the gaming world. After years of hype and anticipation, the role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios is ready to launch.
However, what caught everyone’s attention was the early access not working properly for many of the people. Before the official release on September 6, 2023, Starfield Early Access was launched on September 1, giving fans five full days with the game until a few could not enjoy the gameplay.
Being one of the most popular games on the market right now, many players have dropped extra money to hop into the early access launch period. Many enthusiastic gamers are unable to play as it remains locked past its official release time.
The “You Are Too Early” bug/ error has left everyone frustrated, and there is no official explanation about the same. However, it is assumed that the issue has been from Microsoft’s end caused by the sheer number of fans flooding the website. It has caused an issue to occur that temporarily prevented the hyped-up players from launching the game.

How To Fix The Starfield Bug/Error?
Many netizens have shared the solution to the bug that occurred during the Starfield Early Access gameplay. A user claimed that uninstalling the premium content for Starfield and reinstalling it, then restarting the device, will get the game to load properly and allow players to jump in and play. Others have also reported that a full system restart has allowed them to start playing Starfield.
Unplugging the cable from the power socket and turning off the console has also resulted in fixing the error.
Another user claimed that the plug needs to be unplugged for around 2 to 5 minutes and should be plugged back, which might allow the early access period to begin.
With all that, the real gameplay of Starfield is set to release on 6th September 2023.
