To see the Starfield map on your computer:
- Quickly press the ‘M’ key.
- Or, if you prefer, open the game menu by pressing the ‘ESC’ key, then click on the ‘Starmap’ tab.
On your game console:
- For PlayStation, open the map by pressing the ‘Touchpad’ button.
- For Xbox, access the map by pressing the ‘View’ button, which looks like two squares.

- Look through the menu that pops up and pick the ‘Surface Map’ option. That’s it.
Direct way to open Starfield Map

If you click on this icon, it will take you directly to the map you need for that task, like the big map of space or a map of the surface. This makes it easier and faster to find your way without having to search around in the map menu.
