To kick off the Starfield Direct today, Todd Howard reconfirmed there would be over 1,000 worlds for players to explore.
He further noted how it "wasn't until now" that Bethesda has had the technology to be able do this - allowing landscape, people, and creatures to fill the entire universe.
"This time it's not just one world, it's over 1,000 worlds...We realistically simulate the galaxy around you."
Later on in the Direct, it was mentioned how the planets in Starfield are procedurally generated, but the hand-crafted content comes as players explore each location.
Howard originally revealed in June last year how Starfield would feature "over 1,000 planets" - noting at the time how he couldn't wait to see what players discovered.
How are you feeling about this many planets in one game? Comment below.

Omg. Make the Starfield direct stop! This is information overload! I wanna go into a coma till this comes out!
Ya know I think Phil might be wrong....Starfield MIGHT make people sell their PS5's for an Xbox.
I have to say the game looks extremely impressive indeed.
My x box hasn’t had much activity over the last 6 months but this will change that for sure.
Exciting.
That’s just silly
Looks amazing I'm just hoping it runs at 60 fps on series x else the game will be dead on arrival
I have been one of the most vocal bout Starfield, saying i hope it lives up to the hype but i’m sceptical. Was genuinley nervous we’d get another Redfall an no way will it live up to Playstation exclusives. I have to say, it looks incredible!!! It’s gorgeous an there’s just so much to do an explore!! J love exploring, most games take me double the stipulated time to finish as i’m an explorer!! Starfield could actually be a bad thing!! I work full time, have a missus an 9 year old twin boys who live up to their names!!! Ronnie an Reggie Bray!! 😂😂
My mood has now changed, i’m almost certain Starfield will be 10/10 across the board. Could Xbox get their first GOTY award!? I think it has a huge chance going on wat we’ve seen so far.
looks far too polished for one of their games lol, makes me suspicious of what they might be hiding.
looks amazing on the super high end pc they were demoing it on but i wanted xbox footage.
if it works mostly fine and it is like it seems like it will be it will be unfathamomably epic and a miracle of game development.
cautiously optomistic
@Krysus i most say in my 23 years gaming.. I never saw a game this massive i dont mean only in size i mean in gameplay options and attention to details!!! You can create tou character choose your origine stoey choose your starting perk and have a huge skill threes to build with, you can make your space ship with huge options almost a mod editor, and you flight with it and fight with it
You can make your continents and build your house recruit workers and have citizens you can choose which side to help and the usual decision making and consequences, huge world to explore and mosters and living creatures to see... Costumize your weapon... Oh and you have a cool robot companion
This incredible
@TakeItEasy I turn 50 on release date. And I've gamed most of my life. I've never, EVER seen this much in one game. This is like 10 games worth of customization and gameplay mechanics! I thought TotK was a Shoe-in for GotY...but this changes everything. It's the No Man's Sky + Skyrim + Everspace + Zelda? I never knew I needed! And this is all BEFORE mods kick in!? WTH!?
@Krysus even if poeple own gamepass they should buy it, totally worth it!!! This is +500 hour worth of gameplay not even counting the mod community
@TakeItEasy I'll be playing this when I'm 60. Guaranteed. If I wasn't buzzing so hard on that trailer and this bag of Twizzlers I'd watch the entire trailer again! They even took varying planet gravity and projectile physics into consideration! I'm thrilled for Xbox to crush it today!
i love beth game in general but this seems so ambitious
cannot wait to play
am sure the 1000 includes dull, boring mine-only moons, but still
great show!!
I don’t trust Todd Howard one bit.
Im hoping i can run some kinda space business. Is it weird that I want to know how we make money in this game?
Not wanting or trying be party pooper. But I can all but guarantee you that 99% of those 1,000 planets will be boring dull, generated, repeated places just to mine resources.
@vidjagames No joke. The dude is straight up snake oil salesman.
@Kaloudz I may be repeating myself but Starfield has redefined the space exploration genre and pushed it a level beyond… seriously did I actually see a ship designed like a Transformer?
@Dan1283 already been confirmed 30fps.
