I think most people that cared about the game could hand over $30 more for “early access”, will full release push the needle that much? I don’t know, don’t think so.
Copies of the Premium edition were included with a lot of graphics card sales, and there’s been a lot of upgrading going in with some card prices coming down. It could be a significant factor.
That’s exactly how I got my copy. The highest tier AMD GPU (7900 XTX, 24 GB) dropped to $800 on Amazon sometime in July, performing about 95% as fast as an RTX 4090 in most titles, which cost $1600-1900 (10% sales tax), and outperforms or matches the 4090’s performance in Starfield.
I’m getting 108 FPS on 4K Ultra outdoors, and 128 FPS indoors, with Resolution Scale at 100% and FSR disabled.

It’s going to be on game pass day 1. Why would I pay full price + 30 more to play 5 days early?
If you’re on gamepass you only pay the 30 extra not full price. I didn’t either but was tempted.
Because you don’t want to be left behind or because neurotransmitters are already going pog just thinking about the game and you need your fix.

Best impulse purchase of the year.
Is there any other real benefits except early access?
It says it includes a story expansion. Obviously it will be available for purchase separately but I doubt it will be less than $30.
I almost wish I’d just bought that to be playing now. I’m waiting for the “release”, though.
