Highlights
Welcome to our Starfield walkthrough where we go over all story quests and their associated quest steps.
There are 19 main quest missions and it takes around 20-30 hours to complete the campaign if you skip every side quest.

Starfield’s questline can be difficult to follow as there is no map and sometimes you need to figure some things out by yourself. If you are stuck on the main questline and don’t know how to proceed, we are here to help you out. The campaign should take you around 20-30 hours to complete but there are countless side quests that you can do along the way and exploring the game world will also take up a lot of your time. There are 19 missions in total and we have listed every story quest and a walkthrough of their quest steps.
