Description:
Bethesda's head of publishing still hasn't finished with the game after
around 160 hours of playtime.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Heads up, prospective Starfield players - youre apparently going to be extremely busy playing Bethesdas space-exploration RPG for quite some time. You'd better finish that Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough while you can.

As PC Gamer reports , in an interview at Gamescom 2023 yesterday (Thursday, August 24), Bethesdas head of publishing, Pete Hines, told IGN that hes been playing Starfield for around 150-160 hours, and hasnt even come close to finishing everything.

If I'm being honest, there's really not an amount of time that I'm
comfortable enough [to say], 'Now you've played enough to get what this game is, Hines told IGN. Because I'm at 150-160 hours on my current playthrough
and I haven't even come close. There is so much stuff that I have intentionally not done.

We try to 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 werent kidding. I cant believe how big it is. Its content and exploration, no matter how you want to play, theres so much for you to do in this game.

Last year, game director Todd Howard told IGN that Starfield s main story could be between 30 and 40 hours long, but based on those new numbers given
by Hines, it sounds like therell be heaps of optional content to get stuck into. Thats unsurprising, really, considering that it's set to boast over 1,000 fully explorable planets, not to mention over 100 star systems. With that said, Xbox boss Phil Spencer revealed yesterday that it takes three or four hours before it blows up in terms of its epic scale, so don't expect to go wandering off freely in space as soon as you load the game up for the
first time.

The wait for Starfield is almost over with it set to release on September 6
on PC and Xbox Series X |S, but early access (for those who've bought the Premium or Constellation editions) kicks off on September 1. Prepare for launch.
