The head of Bethesda's publishing division Pete Hines shared his experience of playing Starfield. He's spent about 150 hours in the game and still hasn't gotten to the end.

"There's so much stuff I have intentionally not done," Hines says. "We try and tell everybody how big this game is, and the folks that are playing it, one of the few things they will tell us is 'yeah you weren't kidding'. I can't believe how big it is. No matter how you wanna play, there is so much for you to do in this game.

Hines said Starfield is much bigger than Bethesda's other games. Players will be able to decide for themselves whether to go through everything or focus on certain quests.

It feels when you're playing it almost like there are a bunch of different games inside one game," Hines says, "and I get to decide how much time I want to spend, in a way you haven't really seen in a Fallout or Skyrim.

In August 2022, Todd Howard said the game's main quest alone would take 30-40 hours to complete. A year later, Pete Hines said in an interview at Gamescom 2023 that even after 150 hours in Starfield he was no closer to completing the RPG.

Starfield will be released on September 6, 2023 on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
