The Starfield open beta at the top of Google search is an obvious scam
Published: November 09, 2025
Anticipation for news on Starfield is white-hot, and this hasn't been helped by the many delays the game has had. Everyone's jonesing to get their Skyrim in space on, but maybe some of us are Jonesing too much. Eagle-eyed PCG reader Jean Carrasquillo noticed, when googling the game's name, something suspicious: The top result is a sponsored link to a Starfield open beta that promises you can "play now."
Needless to yono all app say, the wise Jean did not click on this link and instead dropped us a line. Because it's absolutely bogus, a scammy scam from the scammiest scamsters. There is no Starfield open beta. If there was, it would be plastered across every gaming website and billboard you could see.
The link connects to a website called bizongrow dot com (don't go yono all app there!) which redirects users to a website called "starfięld dot com" (notice the accented e) where there's a "demo" button. Definitely do not go to these sites and do not press that demo button, because it will begin running an executable file on your PC that is not a Starfield beta but doubtless contains a ton of unidentified malware.
This bizongrow website was registered in early April and appears to have been live for around a week, with various redditors either noticing or falling for the scam and warning their fellow space hopefuls to avoid it. Looking into bizongrow dot com, it claims to be an advertising company, but that's clearly just some sort of front. The fake Starfield site was registered on 21 April and, while the registrant's info has been withheld "for privacy purposes" the mailing address given is Reykjavik. I'm pretty sure Bethesda doesn't have an Icelandic branch yet.
The malicious link has been reported to Google already so hopefully it'll disappear before long, but seriously: Come on people. There is no free Starfield yono all app open beta and the nasty types know you'd love one.
Starfield is coming in September, For real this time, Todd promises, for real.

The deposit process is smooth and fast. I was able to fund my account instantly and start playing without any hassle. Plus, the multiple payment options make it convenient for everyone regardless of location.
I absolutely love the game selection here, especially the slot games. The graphics are amazing and the animations are super smooth, making every spin feel exciting and immersive. I've spent hours playing without getting bored!
Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.
