All Skill Magazine Locations in Starfield

The best reads this side of the galaxy!

Throughout your interstellar travels in Starfield, you’re destined to encounter all manner challenges and foes, human or creature, no matter which faction you align with or planet you visit and survey. The deeper into the galaxy you venture, the more fearsome those foes and challenges become, and it’s of course important to have yourself well-prepared for the journey. There are many ways to go about that, including something Bethesda has once more brought back called Skill Magazines. Upon discovery, these add permanent buffs to your character’s many attributes, and they’re scattered all across the galaxy. If you’re wondering just where to find them all, here is our handy guide to all Skill Magazine locations in Starfield.

How to Find & Use Skill Magazines in Starfield

Skill Magazines are a special tier of discoverable buff items that are found in various locations from one end of the galaxy to the other. They can be anywhere, from innocently sitting on a coffee table at an office in New Atlantis, to the deep trenches of various enemy outposts on different planets. You can find them any number of ways, be it while sidetracking to explore different star systems, or during the Main Story quest line.

There are also all different kinds of Skill Magazines, each brand with their own unique, distinctive cover that give a variety of buffs from carrying capacity, to weapon damage, to food recipes and more. Collecting at least most of them can make a significant difference in your gameplay experience, capitalizing on the stat boosts that come from your Skill Tree ranked challenges, and any special gear you may have equipped.

Like any other scavenged item in the game, you simply pick up the magazine to automatically and permanently apply its buff to your character. While they don’t weigh anything in your inventory, if you want to do some de-cluttering and get rid of the magazines, selling or dropping them does not get rid of the buffs, so no need to worry there.

Also, bear in mind that a select number of these magazines can randomly spawn in a certain type of outpost or “abandoned” location on any planet that has them. While we’ll indicate a spot where we’ve found it ourselves, there is not necessarily a guarantee that it’ll be in that exact location in your playthrough.

Finding these magazines also contributes towards the ‘Thirst For Knowledge’ achievement, which requires you to obtain and read at least 20 of them.

We’ve categorized the magazines alphabetically by brand, as there are several issues of each one to find throughout the game.
