Starfield: How long to beat the main story?

Here's how long it takes to beat the main story quest of Bethesda's next big RPG Starfield. 

Bethesda's Todd Howard has shared some new exciting details about Starfield, the studios' next big RPG, which is launching next year on PC and Xbox. One of the new details that Howard revealed in the interview with IGN was the length of the main story, which will be about 20 per cent bigger than previous Bethesda games such as Fallout 4 or Skyrim, both massive, massive games. 

Howard revealed that it should take around 30 to 40 hours to complete only Starfield's main story quest, without doing any other stuff like side quests. Starfield has 20 per cent more main quests than previous Bethesda games, which is one of the reasons why its story is longer than Fallout 4 or Skyrim.

"This one’s ending up a little bit longer [than our previous games] and we may tune that some still," he said. "It’s more quests, so it might be 20% more than our previous ones."

Starfield will also be much bigger than anything Bethesda did so far in terms of sheer map size. The game features over 1000 planets both handcrafted and procedurally generated for players to explore. So yeah, Starfield is pretty big and we probably won't ever found out everything that Bethesda Game Studios put in the game. 

All in all, a lot of exciting details about Starfield which is finally set to launch in 2023 after many many years of development. We cannot wait.
