It’s officially Gen Con, and it’s also launch day for the Starfinder 2E Player Core. Alien ancestries. Space powers. A galaxy awaits.
Well, it’s here! At Gen Con and also on the Paizo webstore, Starfinder 2E is ready to go, starting with the one book everyone needs to get started playing: The Player Core. The new Starfinder 2E Player Core takes the game and updates it to be compatible with Pathfinder 2E remastered. If you know how one game plays, you can play the other.
There’s more, too, of course. New alien ancestries to play as. There are new classes and overhauled classes. New gear options, new spells – a ton of stuff to help launch a bold new era of Starfinder. And it all starts today.
Starfinder 2E Player Core: Out Now!
This is a beefy tome. It is very much a Paizo product, by which I mean the Starfinder 2E Player Core weighs in at something like 464 pages. It’s not just new layer options. It’s also part campaign setting as well. You can delve into the mysteries of the Pact Worlds or go beyond.
Because The Player Core wants your characters to be grounded in the setting. Whether as a space lizard trucker or a be-tentacled alien gamer, you can play as whatever weirdo you want. Which is already a huge plus for Starfinder 2E.
Here’s a look at some of the specifics you can expect:
“The Starfinder Player Core is the definitive entry point for Starfinder Second Edition, with everything a player needs to learn how to play the game! Choose from 10 ancestries, six character classes, and hundreds of feats and spells to create unique characters ready to take on a ruthless galaxy awash with magic and opportunity. Starfinder Player Core brings the Starfinder RPG into its new edition and is now 100% compatible with the acclaimed Second Edition of the hit Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Along with GM Core and Alien Core, these books provide a new foundation for the future of tabletop gaming!
Inside you’ll find complete character creation rules, walking you through building a character by selecting your Ancestry, Background, and Class, with a focus on the envoy, mystic, operative, solarian, soldier, and witchwarper classes! Core ancestry options include android, barathu, human, kasatha, lashunta, pahtra, shirren, skittermander, vesk, and ysoki! A vast catalogue of options allowing you to customize your character including versatile heritages, like the undead borai and Drift-touched prismeni, skills and feats, and hundreds of spells, ensuring that the character you build represents your hero not just in story, but in rules as well!

The alien ancestries alone are absolutely expansive. You can take a closer look at some of their abilities here. But then on top of that, there are new classes, new spells (including one which summons a phantom fleet to bombard your enemies), new gear—everything gets hit with the update brush.
This is your chance to get in on the ground floor of the new Starfinder. You can find adventures and more awaiting just around the corner. But as of today, you can start playing!
Still dreaming of a Pathfinder 2E campaign that slowly morphs into Starfinder as the party discovers a secret spaceship!
