As a long-time Starfield explorer, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the June Update, and let me tell you, it doesn’t disappoint. Bethesda has delivered a substantial content drop that spices up our cosmic adventures in fascinating ways.
The introduction of the Trackers Alliance has me feeling like a true intergalactic bounty hunter. This new faction will add a whole new layer to the game, allowing us to pursue and take down marks across the galaxy. One of the standout quests, tracking down the notorious Starjacker, which will have us on the edge of our seat. Not only will it lead to some intense confrontations, but will also provide a rewards and a sleek new suit and a powerful beam weapon that will make the hunt totally worth it.
The Vulture mission is another surprise. Available now in Creations with mod support live on all platforms, it’s a compelling addition that will introduce new surprises and challenges. I have to mention, Bethesda’s promise to periodically add more missions keeps me excited for future updates.
The quality-of-life improvements in this update are also noteworthy. Ammo crafting is definitely something quite good for the players, as it will allow us to be prepared for whatever the galaxy throws in their way. The enhancements to melee weapons, with new tiers and increased damage, will make close combat more satisfying, and let’s not forget the modding improvements, which will open up a world of possibilities for customizing our experience.
One of the highlights for me was diving into the Creations section to see what the Verified Creators have been up to. Their contributions add a personal touch and variety that keeps the game fresh and engaging. If you haven’t checked out the video detailing these updates, I highly recommend it for an in-depth look at what’s new. below:
UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS
Creations are here!
Creations are now available in Starfield. What does that mean? You can now access and play new content in Starfield. Creations may include new missions, gear, skins, weapons, and more!

Trackers Alliance Missions Available
New missions have been added to Starfield as part of this update. Trackers Alliance establishes the first of several missions enabling you to live your best bounty-hunting life. The first mission, The Starjacker will have you in contact with a mysterious Tracker located in settlements throughout the Settled Systems. From there, let the hunts begin!
The second Trackers Alliance mission, The Vulture is available within the new Creations menu. And what bounty hunter is without their trusted methods to get the job done?
Bounty Scanning and Mission Boards!
This update also introduces the bounty scanner system that enables you to seek and destroy (or peacefully resolve…?) those targets with bounties on their heads. If you still want more, you can also check out the Elite Trackers Alliance mission board.
