Starfield companions will keep you company and help you out in a fight, regardless of whether you’re an explorer or a bounty hunter. Here’s every companion in the game, plus their skills and background.

While Starfield may not be a multiplayer game, it does enable players to be accompanied by Companions. These computer-controlled units all have their own unique backstories, while some have a lot of interaction in the game’s main story.

As you can imagine, having an extra pair of hands on deck is incredibly useful, especially when you’re exploring a particularly hostile planet. So, whether you want to know how many Companions there are in Starfield or simply wish to check their skills and background, our guide has everything you need to know.

How many Companions are there in Strarfield?

Starfield has plenty of Companions for players to recruit.

Starfield offers over 20 unique Companions that players will be able to recruit. According to a recent Q&A with the game’s developers, a total of four Companions from the Constellation will have the most story and interaction with the player.

However, it’s important to note that each of the Companions in the game have their own backgrounds similar to the player, so there’s plenty of variety when it comes to picking your computer-controlled companion. Just like in other Bethesda games like Skyrim, Starfield Companions can also hold onto your items, which is always incredibly useful.

Certain Starfield Companions will have more story interaction than others.

Starfield developers have confirmed that the game will have several named characters who can join you as a Companion or Crewmember. However, only four of them have the most detailed storylines and have story interaction.

All four Constellation Companions are listed below:

  • Sarah Morgan
  • Sam Coe
  • Barrett
  • Andreja

Additionally, the developers also revealed that you can romance Companions but not Crewmembers, so you may want to think carefully before you go wooing your AI allies.

As always, we’ll be sure to update this information as and when new Companions are revealed, so be sure to check back here regularly. In the meantime, head over to our Starfield page for all the latest news and guides.
