Main new features of the update
Fashion Creations
Creative Mode makes its debut in Starfield, allowing players to explore and play new content. This mode offers new missions, equipment, skins, weapons, and much more. For example, “The Vulture,” a new Stalker Alliance mission, is now available. Premium Edition owners receive a bonus 1 Creation Credits to take advantage of these additions.
Players looking to create their own content can download the Starfield Creation Kit on Steam. Note that this download is separate from the main game and exclusive to Steam.
