Does Starfield have microtransactions?

Does Starfield have microtransactions? If you’re wondering whether Bethesda’s latest outer space saga contains these ever-present in-game money makers, then you’ve come to the right place. Microtransactions have become an unwelcome, yet inevitable presence within many AAA games, so some are predictably worried that an appearance within the Settled Systems will ruin the interplanetary experience.

Of course, this particular facet may not be as important to some fans when compared to finding out who the possible Starfield companions are and learning how to level up fast. Nevertheless, we’ll still be taking a look at its possible inclusion in the game here to clear up the confusion so you know what to expect before jumping in.

Are there microtransactions in Starfield?

Yes, it’s possible Starfield may contain microtransactions as the game’s ESRB rating includes a reference to “in-game purchases.” With this in mind, these purchasable items will seemingly be making their way the game much like they did in Skyrim and Fallout 4. It’s currently unclear, though, whether it will be similar to Bethesda’s Creation Club system that they included in both of the previously mentioned games.

If it does end up being similar to Creation Club microtransactions, then you will likely need to purchase in-game currency, such as CC Credits, that allow you to buy exclusive content. It is also worth noting that this label may be due to the fact that Bethesda will be introducing future DLC once the Starfield Shattered Space expansion release date rolls around. Naturally, you will need to buy the added content to access it, which may be why ESRB considers it an in-game purchase.
