Bethesda\u2019s forthcoming space epic Starfield<\/em> is apparently so long<\/span>, it\u2019s made the developer\u2019s head of publishing Pete Hines lose all sense of time. At a Bethesda MainStream event<\/span> during Gamescom 2023<\/span>, Hines said<\/a><\/span> he felt like the action role-playing game didn\u2019t \u201creally […] get going\u201d until he took 50 hours to finish its main quest. That was after he\u2019d already dropped 80 hours into sidequests.<\/p>\n

\u201c80 hours in, I went from doing one game to a completely different game where I started really focusing on the main quest,\u201d said Hines, \u201cand then I got so caught up in the main quest, that I spent the next 50 hours just doing that. […] I\u2019m here to tell you that this game doesn\u2019t really even get going until you finish the main quest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTelling somebody, \u2018Oh, I played Starfield<\/em> for 40 hours\u2019 tells you nothing<\/em> about what that person has done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

130 hours is an intimidating amount to put into anything, let alone something that turbo-blasts blue light directly into your eyeballs and brain. But try not to worry for your ocular health yet\u2014it might not take you as long as it took Hines to bring the game to max speed.<\/p>\n

In 2022<\/span>, Starfield<\/em> director Todd Howard estimated its main quest would take a player around 30 and up to 40 hours to beat. I suppose that isn\u2019t much of a difference from 50, but at least you could have around 10 more hours to, like, go outside. Or play Crash Bandicoot<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

In any case, Hines maintains that Starfield<\/em> will claim a huge portion of your time. In another Gamescom conversation, this one with IGN<\/em>, he said<\/span>, \u201cIf I\u2019m being honest, there\u2019s really not an amount of time that I\u2019m comfortable enough [with saying] \u2018Now you\u2019ve played enough Starfield<\/em> to get what this game is.\u2019 Because, like, I\u2019m at 150, 160 hours on my current playthrough, and […] I haven\u2019t even come close.\u201d<\/p>\n

Start clearing your schedule, then. Premium or Constellation Edition buyers can play Starfield<\/em> in Early Access starting September 1, and the game is officially out for everyone on Xbox Series X\/S and PC September 6.<\/p>\n
