Starfield speedrunner smashes through game in a matter of hours

Starfieldis a game that’s supposed to last you hundreds of hours but naturally, that’s never going to stop speedrunners from trying to blast through it as quickly as possible.

The day is almost upon us.Starfieldleaves early access tomorrow, meaning it’ll become available to everyone. Well, everyone who has purchased it at least or is looking to download the title via Xbox Game Pass.

Ignoring that fact though, one speedrunner has managed to blast through the game in less than three hours.
