Starfield does not have an open beta, despite what a sponsored link on Google might have you believe. People on Reddit (thanks, Jean) recently discovered the advertisement served to some at the top of Google's search results, but again, there is no Starfield beta.

The sponsored search result appears to have been paid for by a company called bizongrow, an advertising firm that says it helps companies get good search engine results on Google. The ad for the alleged Starfield beta claims people can "join the adventure" to play the open-world game with friends. The text uses the wrong style for Starfield--writing it as StarField. The link appears above the official page for Starfield on Bethesda's website in Google's search results because it is a paid-for, sponsored result.

This is obviously meant to dupe Google users, and people should not click the link. In any event, it's led some to wonder why Google allowed this in the first place. After all, Google's own ad policies suggest this kind of thing should not be allowed.
