Embark on a journey to an uncharted location, face new adversaries, and immerse yourself in the narrative of House Va’ruun when Shattered Space debuts later this year.

Engage with the Trackers Alliance in an exhilarating new mission that arrives as part of the June Update. “The StarJacker” marks the first mission in a comprehensive series of bounty hunting quests. Your adventure with the Trackers Alliance begins when a mysterious Tracker contacts you within various settlements across the Settled Systems. You’ll be invited to their headquarters in Akila City for an initiation mission: track down a notorious thief wanted for starship theft and earn unique gear as a reward.
New Trackers Alliance missions will be released periodically through the Creations menu. However, you won’t have to wait long for the next installment. “The Vulture,” the second mission in the Trackers Alliance series, is available for purchase in the Creations menu today.
In celebration of the Creations launch, Starfield Premium Edition owners will be granted 1,000 Creation Credits. These credits can be redeemed on any content available in the Creations menu, including the upcoming Trackers Alliance mission.
Building upon the bounty hunting theme introduced with the Trackers Alliance, the latest update introduces a new Bounty Scanner System. As you explore the Settled Systems, scan the citizens you encounter and you may uncover some carrying a bounty. You can then decide how to resolve the situation, whether by persuading them toward a peaceful solution or employing more drastic measures.
The June Update introduces advanced tiers for melee weapons, allowing players to further enhance these weapons at crafting benches. You will now encounter melee weapons with increased damage, which you can then modify for even greater potency.
In addition to melee weapon upgrades, players can now research and craft their preferred types of ammunition at a Research Station and an Industrial Workbench. No longer worry about running out of ammo for your favorite weapons; you can simply craft more as needed.
