About the game

Welcome to the Frontier

Starfield is the first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. Set in the year 2330, humanity has ventured beyond our solar system, settling the Settled Systems and living as a spacefaring civilization.

In this next-generation role-playing game, you join Constellation, the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy—as you navigate an expanse of over 1,000 planets.


Key Gameplay Features

  • Total Freedom: Create any character you can imagine and explore a massive galaxy. From the sterile high-tech towers of New Atlantis to the gritty, “NASApunk” streets of Neon, the choice of where to go and who to be is entirely yours.
  • Deep Customization: * Ship Building: Modify every aspect of your spacecraft, from reactors and grav drives to aesthetic habs.
    • Outpost Construction: Establish bases on distant moons to extract resources, conduct research, and house your crew.
    • Backgrounds & Traits: Choose a starting profession (like Cyber Runner or Chef) and unique traits that provide both gameplay buffs and narrative challenges.
  • Dynamic Combat: Engage in tactical gunplay using ballistic, laser, or electromagnetic weaponry. Utilize Boost Packs for vertical mobility and master the art of zero-G ship dogfights.
  • Constant Evolution: With the 2024 Shattered Space expansion and the recently released Terran Armada (2026) DLC, the lore surrounding House Va’ruun and the mysterious X-Tech has expanded the universe further than ever.
