Starfield: How to Reach Neon

In Starfield, there are numerous smaller colonies, a handful of medium-sized settlements such as Cydonia, and then three rather large cities: New Atlantis, Akila City, and Neon City. Among them, you can travel back in time to New Atlantis within half an hour and soon after, reach New Akila.

It is quite possible to overlook Neon for a while, even though it is approximately as close to New Atlantis as Akila City. However, if you wish to explore the sights of this vibrant and bustling city as early as possible, please continue reading.

How To Reach Neon In Starfield

Neon is located within the Volii system. Volii has a recommended level of only five, which means that players are welcome to fly there right from the beginning. However, if you are still piloting the Frontier spacecraft and haven't upgraded it accordingly, the distance of 22 light-years indicates that your maximum range is insufficient to transport you there using a gravitational jump.

Hey, that's perfectly fine. Unlike some places the early game quests can send you to—some of which are quite far away, with recommended levels in the forties!—it's quite straightforward to reach the Volii system by setting a course for the Olympus system when coming over from Alpha Centauri. From there, any spacecraft can safely bridge the relatively short distance between Olympus and Volii.

The planet on which Neon City is located is called Volii Alpha, and there will be nothing to prevent you from going there directly once you arrive here.

What's There To Do In Neon City?

The question of what there is to do in Neon City is a bit like asking what there is to do in Las Vegas, except in this case, there is likely a broader range of answers for people who are not interested in gambling. Undoubtedly, the main attraction is the Ryujin Industries faction, one of the four major factions in Starfield. If you are interested in joining this prominent corporation, we would be pleased to provide you with more detailed information.

There is also Xenofresh, a former fishing company that has recently, let's say, ventured into somewhat darker waters. There is a main quest here where you will embark alongside the wealthy Walter Stroud, as well as many of the usual locations, albeit with a more striking transformation than anywhere else in the inhabited systems.

Many of the quests here are more dubious and will require you to delve deeper into gray areas than you may find in New Atlantis and Akila City. Adding to that is the overall atmosphere. It always rains in this place, and it perfectly complements the glitz and glamour of Neon City.
