Summary
Starfieldplayers who own the Premium Edition can claim 1,000 Creation Credits for free. This bonus gives them the ability to unlock variousStarfieldmods, including new quests.
On June 9, developer Bethesda shipped asurprise update toStarfieldthat brought mods, alongside new missions, gear, and more, into the game. Mods in the game are available via the Creation Club, similar to other Bethesda titles likeFallout 4andThe Elder Scrolls 5:Skyrim. In tandem with the update, the Xbox first party developer also launchedStarfield: Creation Kit, which is a free editor for creating and sharing a wide range of content for the spacefaring game.
Besides the free mods, there are paid mods inStarfield’s Creations menu as well. While real money can be used for playing such mods, Premium Edition owners may also cash in their bundled 1,000 Creation Credits to access the same. This perk may slightly ease the issue regarding Creation Club for thoseStarfieldplayers who have slammed the paid modsfor being too pricey. To put things into perspective, a single quest that would otherwise cost $7 can be purchased in exchange for 700 credits instead.
On the officialStarfieldTwitter handle, players have hinted that the free credits may not be enough to make a difference or to favorably change the community’s stand onStarfield’s Creation Club. A user commented, “I got those 1000 Creation Credits then [sic] had to use 700 out of the gate for the new bounty missions. Super lame.” Another user straightforwardly asked, “Give us 10k [sic].” Several comments stated that the quests should be cheaper or should at least include all Trackers Alliance missions. On the other hand, some users said that they should be free given that the action RPG is still looking to revitalize its player count, which is relatively low compared to other Bethesda games, such asFallout 4.
Starfield Players Are Unhappy With Creation Club
Bethesda’s introduction of the Creations menu inStarfield, where it also houses paid mods, hasn’t been received well by all fans. These highly priced mods have even led to playersreview bombingStarfieldon Steam. Their main argument behind this grievance is that mods have historically been free content created by the community and diverting these creations through an in-game menu has only emerged as another way to implement microtransactions.
Even though some fans are currently disappointed with single quest mods being sold for a high price, there is something coming in the near future that may excite them.Starfieldis set to receive astory expansion called Shattered Space, which will bring elements of horror into the space game. Premium Edition owners and Constellation Edition owners will get the DLC for free when it rolls out later this year.
