Starfield has been out on early access for more than a couple of days, and the initial reception has been largely positive. While there have been a few complaints here and there, the majority of the community is happy to invest their time in completing Bethesda's first IP in decades. To that effect, how many chapters does Starfield have, and how long might it take to complete it?

Read on to find out the answers.

There are 19 missions in total in Starfield to complete the main story. They are as follows:

  1. One Small Step
  2. The Old Neighbourhood
  3. The Empty Nest
  4. Back to Vectera
  5. Into the Unknown
  6. All that Money can Buy
  7. Starborn
  8. Further into the Unknown
  9. Short Sighted
  10. No Sudden Moves
  11. High Price to Pay

  14. Unearthed
  15. Final Glimpses
  16. Missed Beyond Measure

Completing just the main narrative will likely take players anywhere between 25 to 40 hours. This is, of course, dependent on the pace they set for themselves and the difficulty they choose to try out during their playthrough.

But as we all know, the beauty in Bethesda's games lies beyond the story.
