Starfield is going to be big. Bigger than anything we've seen from Bethesda. While in the past, we've explored singular continents or real-life regions in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, its newest RPG will take us across the stars to 1,000 planets across 100 star systems.

As such, this is the most accurate look at Starfield's galactic map we're going to get until launch.

While much of the galaxy Starfield showed is based on real-life, much of it is also fictional. "Some stars seem to be renamed in the game," the website's explain section states. "70
