Starfield is a massive game withmultiple solar systems and planetsto explore. Because of that, exploration can get tedious for any average gamer. Fortunately, Bethesda has addressed this problem in the game, allowing players to fast-travel in various scenarios — be it a planet to planet, planet to ship, or one landmark to another on the surface of a planet. The fast travel system helps you cover long distances, allowing faster travel from point A to point B. That said, let’s learn how you can fast travel in Starfield.

In Starfield, the game will restrict you from fast-traveling in three cases:
