As part of yesterday's Xbox Showcase - which also offered us a first proper look at the Shattered Space expansion - Starfield also got a pretty substantial update right away. While the fact it's come with the release of the game's long-awaited Creation Kit for modders has gone down well, one thing that's drawn a bit of a mixed reaction from players is the decision to make one of the Trackers Alliance quests paid Creation Club content.

First of all, let's be very clear about what exactly is going on here. A big part of Starfield’s June update are some new bounty hunting missions and mechanics. The first of these missions - which sets you up as a bounty hunter - and all of the new features like the bounty scanner system and Elite Trackers Alliance mission board are available for free as part of the update.

So, what are some players not happy about? Well, the second Trackers Alliance bounty hunting quest available as part of the update - The Vulture - isn't just included as part of the free update. It's instead being sold via the Creation Club storefront that's also been added to the game as part of this update, for a price of 700 credits.
