Microsoft has announced that the Xbox Games Showcase will be returning on June 9, and given the many first-party titles the company has in the pipeline for 2024, it seems safe to assume that it’s going to be a packed show.

Starfield Bringing Back One Launch Feature May Hint To Shattered Space DLC Release

Bethesda is restocking the most expensive edition of , which could be hinting at some major news that could rejuvenate interest in the title, like the arrival of its previously announced DLC. The $300 Constellation Edition was one of three different versions of the game available upon its launch in September 2023, with the other two being the Standard and Premium Editions.
also launched on day one as part of the PC and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. While the version included in the subscription was the standard edition of the game,those who wanted the additional content were able to upgrade to the Premium edition to get up to five days early access, a Constellation Skin Pack for the Equinox Laser Rifle, Spacesuit, Helmet, and Boost pack, a digital artbook, and the game's original soundtrack.
While the physical version of 's Premium Edition had an additional Steelbook case and a physical Constellation patch, the Constellation Edition had the most content for physical media collectors. The Constellation Edition came with all the aforementioned content included, along with a physical Credit Stick replica from the game with the digital game code laser-etched onto it instead of a standard disc, and a fully-functional smartwatch designed by the UK prop company, The Wand Company, to look like the LPV6 Chronomark Smartwatch featured in the game.
Originally, the Constellation Edition seemed like a good deal considering that most smartwatches range between $115 and $200 — with the Apple Watch costing $399 — and don't include a brand-new AAA game and its bonus content. Unfortunately, within a month of the game's release, many players were complaining that the watch was completely dead and wouldn't turn back on after being charged. Bethesda Support has issued some watch replacements, but this experience has been called frustrating due to the number of automated messages involved that had players in a loop repeating themselves.
While the watch may have looked great as a display piece, there were also complaints about its general functionality, with no touchscreen, issues connecting with Bluetooth, and very few actual smartwatch apps (with anything remotely strenuous draining the battery life extremely quickly). This essentially made it more of a digital watch that could tell its wearer what phase the moon was in than the "" it was advertised as.
Despite this, the scarcity of the item did see third-party resellers increase the price significantly after it first sold out. Therefore, it's likely that Bethesda restocking the Constellation Edition is due to seeing this initial demand and wanting the potential profit for themselves, although it's yet to be seen if the public negative feedback surrounding some of
