Starfield is already an extremely large game with tons of quests and over 1,000 planets to explore, but it’s bound to be much bigger, as modders will be able to create entire planets. Granted it isn’t clear how long it will take for modders to upload their creations for others to enjoy. But the fact that it’s coming is great news for enthusiasts of the game. In an interview on the Bethesda Twitch channel on August 24, Bethesda Softworks Senior VP of Global Marketing and Communications Pete Hines confirmed that modders will have a pretty robust list of things they can do.

This includes creating large planets, new questlines, new stories and more. Alluding to a potentially massive wealth of content for players to sink their teeth into.

Of course, it’s not clear what players will be able to do on these planets. But presumably it’ll be anything you can do on any other planet that was put in there by Bethesda Game Studios.

Starfield modders creating planets will make the game infinitely more vast

Every time players get a brand-new space game of this magnitude, it pushes us ever closer to the dream of true interstellar space exploration. Sadly for anyone playing Starfield space exploration of this scale will never happen in real life. But that’s ok because it can happen in Starfield. If over 1,000 planets wasn’t enough for you, patience is key here.

Especially since by the time you actually explore all of them, modders will likely have already created more for you to explore. Making the game infinitely more vast than it is now. If you think about it, the sandbox potential is staggering. And with the mod community hard at work, you can look forward to hours of exploration and nothing else.

And that’s just with new planets. Now add in newly mod-created quests and stories and there’s a very good chance you’ll be playing this game for years to come. Provided you like it enough to do so. Starfield officially releases on September 5 for PC and Xbox. It’ll also be available through Xbox Game Pass. And if you pre-order the premium edition you can play on September 1.
