Starfield begins its public release tomorrow, August 31, and ahead of that, PC players on Steam can now begin to pre-load the game. Pre-loading was already available for PC Game Pass users, via the Microsoft Store for PC, and on Xbox, but Steam members are now invited to the pre-load party.

Starfield's file size on PC is very big, at 140GB, so being able to pre-load is quite nice for people who want to get into the action as soon as possible.

Lead landscape artist Matt Carofano previously discussed why Starfield is so damn big. He said Bethesda games are known for giving players freedom on a grand scale, and the idea is for Starfield to up the ante.
