Starfield Players Can Plan Their Character Build Before Release

Prepare to fly.

Starfield releases on August 31 for those who have purchased the Premium Edition on PC or Xbox Series X/S and on September 6 for everyone else. If you want to get ahead of the curve and blast through the character creator so you can dive into your space adventure as soon as possible when the game launches, there’s a way to plan your character’s build right now.

While the Character Build Planner and Calculator’s information may change once the early access launch rolls around, it’s still useful enough to get a good idea of the kind of character you’ll be zipping around the galaxy with and which skills you want to level up first.

You can find the Starfield Character Build Planner and Calculator on the Nukes & Dragons website.
