How to Use Ship Storage and Inventory in Starfield

Starfield is a space role-playing game by the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

You can create any character and go on a journey to answer humanity’s greatest mystery.

Customize your character’s appearance, decide their background, and select their traits.

Join Constellation, the last group of space explorers finding artifacts throughout the galaxy.

Explore more than one thousand planets, navigate cities, and traverse wild landcapes.

You can also pilot and command the ship of your dreams, personalize the look of it, and more.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to see, access, or use your ship storage, inventory, or cargo to store items in Starfield.

How to Use Ship Storage and Inventory in Starfield

To use your ship storage and inventory in Starfield while you’re inside of your ship, open your inventory, and press the Cargo Hold option.

If you’re outside of your ship, go near it, open the character screen, select the Ship Menu option, and select the Cargo Hold option.

Here’s how to do this:

  • Method 1 (inside of your ship): Go inside your ship, open your inventory, and press the Cargo Hold option (Q on the PC or LB on console).
  • Method 2 (outside of your ship): Go near the outside of your ship, open the character screen, select the Ship Menu option, and select the Cargo Hold option.

In Starfield, you cannot carry too much weight on you.

If you go over the mass limit, you’ll lose oxygen every time you sprint and you can’t fast travel.

Hence, it’s important to store items that you don’t need inside the Cargo Hold of your ship.
