Starfield Level Cap Explained

What is the level cap in Starfield?

Starfield is finally here and players are adventuring the massive open world of Starfield. Starfield is a typical Bethesda RPG in many ways, so players are probably expecting Starfield to have a level cap in the same way that the Fallout and Elder Scrolls games do.

But what is it? How does New Game Plus affect the Starfield level cap? And how many levels are you likely to go up during a playthrough? Find out in our Starfield level cap guide below.

What is the level cap in Starfield?

There is no level cap in Starfield (that we know of). Because of the unique circumstances of Starfield’s New Game Plus, which we’ve explained in our Starfield New Game Plus guide, there is essentially infinite chances to level up, and eventually get all of the powers you could possibly want.

So, as far as we know (and there may be some huge level cap of 1000, far beyond the number of skill points needed to complete everything) there is no level cap in Starfield.

In our experience, you’re likely to be around level 40 by the time you finish the game for the first time, but following this, you can level up at your own pace. if you’re looking for ways to level up quickly, you should check out our fast XP  and levelling-up guide.
