This new core book comes to market a year after Starfinder 2E playtest began (see "'Starfinder 2E'") and provides an entry point for players looking to take off playing the new edition. It contains all the dice mechanics as well as character creation rules needed for players to build a Starfinder 2E character. Players can pick from 10 ancestries, six character classes, and hundreds of feats and spells to build new characters to adventure throughout the galaxy with.

It also contains a primer on the Pact Worlds and the Starfinder 2E setting, so players can understand the world a little bit before they dive into a game session. The Starfinder Player Core book is also compatible with Pathfinder 2E RPG and will retail for $69.99.
