Actual release date.
Does anyone know the actual release date? I know that it is not weird to release a game on Wednesday but why wouldn't they release the game on Tuesday instead of a Wednesday? The release date for it is September 6th, which is a Wednesday rather than the 5th, which Tuesday and historically speaking, normal or Friday, as with Skyrim and select other games. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Sept. 6th is the official release date. Until that is "officially" changed, it is the release date. No matter what day of the week it is.

You forget they are now under the Microsoft Blanket. Microsoft generally prefers Wednesday releases most of the time.

In my opinion it's unfortunate because Microsoft being the publisher will be making all kinds of decisions that BGS will have to follow and I feel like this will end up being a bad thing over time. Of course, on occasion I have been wrong about these things. Hopefully this is one of those occasions. But honestly, I fear the worse. Thats not to say that I think that BGS games won't be awesome. They will.. But I feel that Microsoft will end up pushing things out too fast and that Todd Howard won't be able to say "no, it's not ready yet" to Microsoft. The only reason (in my opinion) that Starfield was pushed back to September this year had nothing to do with development and everything to do with Microsoft not wanting Starfield to walk all over Redfall. In my eyes Redfall should have taken a back seat and given a far superior dev studio (BGS) the June Spotlight. The devs that made Redfall have never really made games that in my opinion would very good or quality-based at all. I never buy their games anymore because it's always crap. (and Redfall flop just confirms to me that they still suck. But that is solely my opinion).

If Microsoft wasn't a thing regarding BGS then I think Starfield would have probably released in June this year.
