Starfield Max Level Explained

First and foremost, it is important to note that the information in this article is based on both leaks and educated guesswork. As soon as official details become available, we will endeavor to update this article quickly.

With the disclaimer out of the way, the leaked Starfield achievement list notes, "Reach for the Stars – Reach Level 100." This is the highest level noted in the achievement list for Starfield, causing some players to believe that Starfield's max level cap is 100.

While some think the max level cap is 100, Starfield is a Bethesda game, and it is likely you can max out every single skill in the game. Starfield has five skill trees and each one has 15 skills at least, and each skill has four ranks. This means that if you can max out everything in Starfield, unlocking every skill for your character, you could reach a level over 400!

Starfield pre-loading is now available, and the game will be released on 6 September 2023 for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox Game Pass. You can get up to five days of early access with premium digital editions.
