Starfield is massive. That much you could have guessed. But if you’re wondering how long it takes to beat in terms of earthly hours, well that depends on how much you want to see. Estimates can range drastically based on your preferred play style, meaning you could be done in short order and ready to see what else there is to play in September 2023, or you could make it the only game you play for weeks or even months to come and probably not run out of things to do. Here’s what you need to know about the playtime for Starfield, its mission list, and more.
