The ending of Starfield has your character becoming Starborn. Read on to learn the meaning of the ending, how to unlock all variations of the ending, and if there are multiple endings.
After collecting all the Artifacts and completing the Armillary, your character jumps to the Unity. Here, they'll encounter the Unity, a giant ball of light. They also meet their alternate self from another universe who tells your character that you must give up yourself to become Starborn—someone reborn into another universe.
While approaching the Unity, your character will be shown a glimpse of what happens to the people in the universe they are about to leave behind. Once they reach it, they leave their universe behind and start a new life in another, carrying over their memories and experiences.
Starfield only has one ending where your character goes to the Unity and becomes reborn in another universe as a Starborn. However, what happens to the universe you're leaving will be different depending on your actions and choices. These are influenced by any romances you had, factions you joined, and who you sided with in the final showdown.
| Companion | Ending |
|---|---|
| Sarah Morgan | Your lover, Sarah Morgan, eventually chooses to be reborn herself. Your commitment to each other bolsters all relationships in the Settled Systems. Marriages blossom. More children are born who want to be explorers. |
| Andreja | Your lover, Andreja, eventually chooses to be reborn herself. Your commitment to each other bolsters all relationships in the Settled Systems. Marriages blossom. More people in House Va'ruun begin to question its orthodoxy and look to the outside world. |
If you had a companion you shared a special romantic bond with, their fate will be shown during the ending. Otherwise, no one will appear.
| Faction | Ending |
|---|---|
| Constellation | The Constellation membership who stays behind will, in time, publish their data about the discovery of the Artifacts, the Starborn, and the Unity. Space exploration across the Settled Systems is given new life, as people search for hope out there in the stars. |
| UC SysDef | Your work with UC SysDef against the Crimson Fleet is a triumph of law over greed. The UC establishes greater security throughout the Settled Systems. Travelers throughout the stars will be safer. |
| Freestar Rangers (Spare Ron and refuse bribe) |
By thwarting Ron Hope's schemes but sparing his company, HopeTech becomes a humbler organization. They return to their traditional values: making honest starships for hardworking people. Admiration for those working the tough jobs grows throughout the Freestar Collective. Ambitions centered around wealth decline. |
You'll also see what happens to the factions you've cooperated with. If you didn't join other factions, you'll only see what happens to the rest of Constellation.
List of All Factions and Faction Questlines
| Ally | Ending |
|---|---|
| The Hunter | The Hunter is reborn once again. His ethic of expediency, and individual will, spreads throughout the universe he leaves behind. Many will find the courage to rise and seize power from those who have it, for good or ill. |
| The Emissary | The Emissary remains in this universe, but your faith in them inspires them to seek out those they believe are worthy of finding the Unity. Many noble Starborn will be reborn under their guidance. |
| Neither | By defeating both the Hunter and the Emissary, the path to the Unity in this universe is left for the people of the Settled Systems to discover on their own, uninterrupted by powerful Starborn. |
Depending on who you side with in the Unearthed mission, you'll see how the universe changes if you leave The Hunter or The Emissary victorious. There's also a variation if you refuse to side with either of them.
Should You Side with The Hunter or The Emissary?
You can choose to walk away from the Unity during the ending. This will send you back to your universe to live your life as is. However, you can choose to jump back to the Unity anytime.
