Starfield max level: What is the level cap in Starfield?

Avid Starfield players will probably be wondering when they might hit max level in the game. You might be surprised to learn that the game has no level cap, and you can actually keep levelling as far as you want.

However, there are some things you should know so you can make the most of your levels in Starfield. Here's everything we know about the max level in the game.

Is there a level cap in Starfield?

There is no level cap or max level you can hit in Starfield. Essentially, you can keep playing for as long as you want and continue levelling up even after you've picked up every single skill in the game.

There's an achievement for reaching level 100, so you'd be forgiven for thinking 100 might be the cap. But no, you can continue past that if you wish (and if you have the time to spare).

Technically, previous Bethesda games like Skyrim had a ridiculously high-level cap that would take you thousands and thousands of levels to reach. We're not sure if Starfield has anything like this, but even if it does it's very unlikely any player will actually reach that level without altering the game somehow.

How many skills you can get in Starfield?

There's no max level in Starfield, but the developers could have added a limit on how many skills you can get.

Thankfully, this isn't the case. You can level up as many times as you want and potentially unlock every single skill on one character.

There are 82 total skills in the game, each with four different tiers. That means you'll need to use a total of 328 skill points to get every possible skill in the game. However, you can continue levelling up past level 328 if you want to.

As far as we know there's no benefit to doing this currently, and the time it would take to reach level 328 is immense. Most players will never get that far, but if you do, you still might not be done with all the content in the game!
