The standard version of the game cost $70, which has become the norm for big releases these days, sadly. There was plenty on offer: some story reveals, cities, ship-building, skill trees, upgrades, space combat, and much more. The Starfield Direct showcase over the weekend revealed a massive 45 minutes of the game that is being called Skyrim in space. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077 expansion Phantom Liberty has pushed the 2020 base game into second place, though a 50% discount no doubt played a big part in that, too. Following the extended reveal of Starfield, pre-orders for Bethesda's highly anticipated title have moved it to fourth place on Steam's global bestsellers list. In context: If the Summer Game Fest's job was to raise the hype around some of the big upcoming games this year, then mission accomplished.
