Starfield offers players an expansive galaxy to explore, boasting over a thousand planets waiting to be discovered. If you've been pondering the presence of extraterrestrial life in this Bethesda RPG, you're in for some interesting insights. Having delved into the game for more than 70 hours, I can confirm that aliens do exist in Starfield. However, they may not align with your traditional expectations.

In Starfield, the aliens you'll encounter are far from intelligent beings with whom you can engage in meaningful conversations. Instead, they take the form of creatures that you'll have to battle throughout your gameplay. So, in terms of intelligent, communicative alien lifeforms, I haven't come across any as of yet. Nonetheless, there are tantalizing hints suggesting the existence of other advanced civilizations, which could hold promise for future developments in the game's lore.

Among the diverse array of alien creatures in Starfield, the Terrormorphs stand out as formidable adversaries. These monstrous beings have wreaked havoc and even led to the downfall of entire civilizations. If you're seeking extraterrestrial-focused content within the game, I recommend delving into the UC Vanguard faction storyline, where you'll face these menacing creatures head-on.

Additionally, the main storyline introduces you to a group known as the Starborn, which might initially seem like aliens but are, in fact, something quite different. They are immortal human beings who have traversed various timelines by assembling special artifacts. While you'll learn the identities of some Starborn characters during your gameplay, the origins of the artifacts and temples they are associated with remain a mystery, leaving room for potential revelations in future DLCs or sequel games.

Starfield is available for Xbox Series X/S and PC, inviting players to embark on a thrilling journey through a vast and enigmatic universe.
