Starfield main quest

The Starfield main quest takes you across the Settled Systems in search of mysterious Artifacts and the secrets of the universe.

Starfield’s story can likely be divided into several distinct categories, so we’re putting the page together to collect all of the Starfield main quest missions and where you can find them. We have numerous trailers, interviews, and the Starfield Direct showcase to draw on, but Starfield’s main questline will likely follow a similar flow that previous Bethesda titles have possessed.

How long is Starfield?

It takes the average player around 30 hours to complete Starfield’s main story.

If you’re looking to 100% Starfield and complete all of the Starfield side quests, it could take you as long as 100 to 120 hours or more.
