Starfield is billed as Bethesda Games Studios’ biggest RPG to date. With more than 1,000 planets to explore completely from north to south, east to west. But, you don’t have to do everything in the game to experience the hand-crafted story and content. So, what is the Starfield length and how long will it take to beat the game?
Todd Howard has come out and given us an indication of how long it will take to beat the main story path Bethesda Games Studios has carved into Starfield. With more than 1,000 Starfield planets, you won’t have to explore them all to beat the story, but you will be launching to a number of planets.
Starfield length
The Starfield length is around 30-40 hours for the main story and quests. This is according to an interview with Todd Howard from IGN where he said it would take about that long to finish the main story if you were focusing on it on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Given that there are more the Starfield map size in the game is vast, the full length of the game if you want to complete all side missions and optional content will likely be double or triple this at around 100-120 hours. Then, if you want to explore everywhere, our guess is that you are easily looking at 150 hours or more of time to sink into Starfield. But, that is a prediction on our part.
