With the final release of the long awaited Bethesda' space exploration RPG, many players are having questions about how to find their way around. In order to do this, you need to learn all about the Starfield planet map. How to use it?
Starfield is primarily centred around the exploration of planets, so this is quite an important element. The game places a strong emphasis on deep space exploration, with players venturing into uncharted territories, discovering new planets, and unravelling the mysteries they hold.
To help you in this important space expedition, let's take a look at the best uses of the Starfield planet map and how to make the best use of it.
How to open and use the Starfield planet map
In order to open the map, you have to select the Starmap that you can find in the top left corner of the menu. In order to do so, you can press and hold the left stick on the controller, and then select it.
But how to use it? By pressin B you can start to zoom out on the map to go to the System view, or even more to the Galaxy view. From the Starmap you can decide which planet to visit next, for example because it has interesting resources to collect. Just press LB to view what resources one planet might have.
Finally, in order to choose a destination to land on from the map, then select the area you'd like to travel to and press A, then hold down X. That will set the target for your next destination.
Now, if you're done with the map, you can hold the B button to return to the menu that you were there before, on your character. You can also press it numerous times to start zooming out.
