Does Starfield have a level limit?

Realistically speaking, one could play hundreds of hours of Starfield and still not see everything the game has to offer. In fact, we are confident that the upcoming years will provide evidence of this as players showcase their impressive playtime in their save files and write articles about stumbling upon something in the game in 2028 that they didn't even know existed.

That all sounds nice and good. But it raises the question: What is actually the maximum character level in Starfield? Or... is there even one? You've seen star systems recommending players to venture there only at level 75, so this is definitely not a situation like in Fallout 3. What's the situation? Here's the thing.

What Is Starfield's Level Cap?

So, let's cut to the chase and provide the direct answer in case you're looking to move on. Hey, we get it. Time is precious. In Starfield, there is no level limit. Yes, you can go beyond level 100. There is an achievement associated with reaching level 100, which led some fans to speculate that it might be the limit, but no. There simply isn't an achievement beyond level 100, as reaching level 100 already poses a significant challenge.

Here are some food for thought. Considering the breakdown of skills in Starfield, a player aiming to reach all four ranks in each individual skill would require 328 points. Since you gain one skill point per level, it means you would need to reach level 328 to fully maximize the skills. Honestly, we appreciate that aspect as it means player builds will truly differentiate from one another, except for those who somehow manage to reach level 328. Is it possible to do so? Yes. How long would it take? We... don't know. A long time.

By and large, we expect that most people will complete the main story of Starfield (the Constellation story) somewhere in their 30s or 40s, perhaps even in their 50s if they take a very thorough approach. At such a "low" level, most skills are not maximized, and many may not have even been used yet. However, players will have equipment that is good enough to handle what the Constellation (and other factions) offer.

Reaching level 100 will take approximately the same number of hours. Going beyond that, well, good luck with that. Future Starfield expansions may even surpass the current maximum level of 75 in the star systems of Starfield. However, for now, we can only say for certain that just because Starfield doesn't have a level limit, it doesn't guarantee that your character will reach triple-digit numbers or even come close. And that's okay.
