Samsung confirmed people who own one of the company’s Smart TVs will be able to access Starfield in the Samsung Gaming Hub. This is because of how the system works with Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass system. As long as someone subscribes to that service, they will have access to the title to stream on the TV.
The announcement did offer some details about how this will work. As Starfield will be a day-on Xbox Game Pass game, it will be on the Samsung Gaming Hub on smart TVs that day. However, people can’t immediately start playing it on September 6, 2023 when it launches. They will need a subscription to the service and a Bluetooth controller. As such, any recent Xbox Wireless Controller, say for an Xbox One or Xbox Series X, would be compatible.
As a reminder, the Samsung Gaming Hub uses a number of different apps to provide access to games. For example, Amazon Luna and NVidia GeForce Now are both supported. People who own a smart TV or monitor from the Samsung would be able to play Starfield on it.
Starfield will release on September 6, 2023 for the both the PC and Xbox Series X. The Xbox Series X preload is live now, while the PC one will show up on August 30, 2023.
