EXPLAINED: Starfield planets alien life procedural generation and more | Vintage Vibes

Starfield ship above planet

If a tree falls on a planet and there's no one there to see it, did it really happen?

Just something to ponder as you're exploring the Settled Systems of Starfield, a cluster of stars where humanity has started colonies in the year 2330. Starfield is the largest game ever built by Bethesda Game Studios, with a staggering number of planets for players to explore in addition to innumerable spaceships and space stations. 

If you're a little confused at the scale of everything here and exactly how it all works, don't worry. I've got everything you need to know about Starfield's planets right here.

This guide has been composed based on pre-release information found in official Bethesda materials. I'll be sure to update it once the game arrives.
