Starfield gives players more skills and upgrades than they’ll know what to do with; here are the best skills to focus early on.

Leveling up in Starfield grants a skill point to spend in the skill tree menu, allowing players to unlock new skills or rank up existing ones.
Certain skills like lasers, targeting control systems, and commerce are worth focusing on early in the game as they provide significant benefits that accumulate over time.
Skills like research methods, weight lifting, and medicine offer long-term advantages by making certain tasks, such as upgrading weapons and healing, more efficient and reducing the need for excessive grinding.
