Here’s everything we know about grav jumping in Starfield, including how to power up your grav drive, how to grav jump, and how to deal with grav jump errors.
How to grav jump in Starfield
To grav jump in Starfield, visit your starmap via the pause menu. Once you’ve zoomed out,select your star system and planet of choice. You’ll only be able to select locations that appear as white dots on the map. Red dots aren’t accessible for one of three reasons: because you’re passing through a star system you haven’t explored before, your ship’s jump range isn’t high enough, or you don’t have enough fuel.
Starfield will tell you what the issue is if you try to select one of these locations, so if you aren’t able to grav jump, find out why —exploring, upgrading your grav drive, and upgrading your fuel tankcan remedy these issues respectively.
Once you’ve charted your course,allocate power to your grav drivein the power management menu. If you haven’t allocated any power, you’ll receive the “Grav Jump Pending” warning, though this can be fixed by giving it even just one bar of power. Your grav drive will take a bit of time to charge (with longer jumps taking longer to charge), though you can speed up this process by diverting more power toward this system. Once it’s charged,select “Jump”and you’ll be on your way. If you’re not grav jumping for your next journey, remember to redistribute your power away from the grav drive once you’ve arrived!
