In Starfield, magazines offer valuable bonuses and upgrades to your character, and in this guide, we’ll explain how these magazine bonuses work and the effects they can have on your gameplay.
What Are Starfield Magazines and Books? – Upgrades & Effects
Starfield magazines are special items scattered across the universe that grant instant stat upgrades to your character as soon as you read them. These upgrades are permanent, meaning they will permanently boost your character’s abilities. After reading a Starfield magazine, you can choose to display it in your ship as a trophy or sell it to a vendor for extra credits. If you played Bethesda’s Fallout games, you might recognize this mechanic as it’s similar to magazines that offer perks and skills in those games.
All Starfield Magazines and Books
While the exact number of Starfield magazines in the game is uncertain, if we take inspiration from Fallout 4, there could be even 100 magazines to discover and collect in Starfield. These magazines will offer a variety of upgrades to enhance your character’s skills and abilities.
Collecting Starfield magazines is crucial for creating powerful character builds in the game. These upgrades can significantly impact your character’s effectiveness in various activities, such as combat, exploration, and interactions with NPCs. You’ll want to seek out and collect as many of these magazines as possible to maximize your character’s potential.
