One aspect that many fans are excited about regarding the upcoming release of Starfield<\/a>, is the game’s massive scope and scale that Bethesda has put tons of effort into. One feature that exemplifies this effort is the number of planets in the game that players can visit, explore, and even call home. <\/span><\/p>\n

But how many planets are there? and what do each of them offer players in terms of new experiences? Well, you won’t have to ponder on this for much longer. Below we break down exactly y how many planets there are in Starfield as well as what you can expect to find when you visit them all. <\/span><\/p>\n

How Many Planets Are in Starfield?<\/h2>\n

Drawing from recent insights shared by both Bethesda’s developers and Tom Howard himself, we’ve gathered that Starfield intricately weaves together handcrafted and procedurally generated worlds. The game boasts an impressive array of over 1,000 planets scattered across 100 distinct Star Systems. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s been confirmed that there will be over 1000 planetary bodies to explore in Starfield. (Picture: Bethesda)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although the count of habitable planets is limited, players are granted the opportunity to explore every one of them. In terms of sheer scale, Starfield stands as the most expansive creation in Bethesda’s repertoire, promising more than 100 hours of cosmic mining and interstellar voyages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notably, despite the vastness of its navigable galaxy, Starfield confines its roster of habitable planets inhabited by living creatures to approximately 100, accounting for merely 10% of the game’s expansive cosmos<\/a>. Among these, some planets merely host local wildlife, while others teem with intelligent lifeforms. (It’s worth noting that non-inhabitable planets still harbor valuable resources and permit the establishment of outposts or housing.) <\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the combination of generated and handcrafted planets, the game will offer a unique experience for each one you visit. (Picture: Bethesda)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In contrast to titles like No Man’s Sky, the assortment of extraterrestrial creatures on Starfield’s planets is not randomized. The developers have explicitly clarified that players will encounter indigenous lifeforms specific to the given Star System.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting aside the planets integral to the main storyline<\/a>, Starfield employs procedural generation to craft its moons, exoplanets, and additional planets. As players approach a planet, the game employs random number-generated algorithms to shape terrains according to the world’s unique geological characteristics. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, planetary landings won’t involve manual procedures; instead, a cinematic transition will replace the process of docking and take-offs. And while we would have liked this to be manual, it’s understandable as a limitation considering the game features a mix of procedurally generated planets as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

So there you have it, a complete overview of the number of planets you can expect to find in Starfield, as well as how they are crafted and what you can find on each of them. Of course, as the game’s lifecycle continues, more planets may be added, so we’ll be sure to keep this article updated with the latest numbers. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
