Starfield follows the trend of most games these days by offering preorder bonus content alongside various game editions. In many cases, preorder bonuses can tip the balance of scales for in-game play. They often give players some advantage from currency to powerful weapons and armor. However, Starfield takes a different approach. They merely offer the preorder bonus as a fun little perk, a “thank you” for being invested enough to purchase the game ahead of time. Let’s discuss the preorder bonuses, how to redeem them, and the various editions you can enjoy.
Starfield Preorder Bonus DLC – What Is It?
There is no real advantage you can get with the Starfield preorder bonus. Instead, it’s all about cosmetics. It’s a great way to reward those who want to get a jump start on the game while also not rejecting those who don’t.
You will get the following bonus items when you preorder Starfield:
- Old Mars Skin Pack
- Laser Cutter
- Deep Mining Helmet
- Deep Mining Pack
Redeeming Starfield Preorder Bonus Content
When you’re playing Starfield, all the preorder bonus DLC and any other premium content you’ve purchased should show up in your inventory. Since the preorder bonus is only a skin pack, all you have to do is equip it.
So, head to a Weapon Workbench and a Spacesuit Workbench since you have skins for both. Select the “change skin” option and find the Old Marks Skin Pack items with everything else you have. Also, it won’t cost you any components when you change skins, letting you save them for the more important things.
Starfield Editions – Compared
The Starfield preorder bonus items should not impact which editions of the game you decide to purchase. Every edition will receive the preorder content if you purchase the game in advance. Game Pass subscribers will also get access to Starfield preorder bonus content as long as the subscription is active.
