Houses will also play an important role in Starfield.

Just like in Skyrim and Fallout 4, Starfield features a housing system where players can both purchase and customize their properties. Not only do they provide a safe place for intergalactic adventurers to rest their heads, but they also enable you to safely store your most valuable items.

There are likely to be a lot of furnishings and items that you can use to truly make your home feel like your own by using the customization options in the game.

To get a house in Starfield, you’ll need to buy it using in-game currency or by completing certain quests. You will also need to become a UC Citizen in order to obtain a house in the game. Apart from that, the Dream Home trait also helps you own a luxurious home in the game right from the start.

However, that also puts you in a debt of 125,000 credits. Fortunately, it is very easy to pay off.
