How long 1.0 takes
Checked 2026-11-05 · Lightyear Frontier 1.0
1.0 adds a story ending. After it, you can keep playing. The FAQ and the launch post do not say how many hours that ending takes.
New regions and Milestones 13 and 14 add objectives to the 1.0 release. Returning with an established farm and starting again produce different routes through that content; neither establishes a universal completion time. A current public completion-hours sample was not available in the checked sources, so the hours field remains blank.
Deliveries unlock milestones, and automation starts at Milestone 4. Existing saves can continue into the added story; the FAQ recommends a fresh save for smoother progression while allowing players to continue an existing one. The story ending does not end access to the farm. These facts describe the structure of the playtime without assigning an unsupported hour estimate.

Questions
How many hours is 1.0?
Not published. I am not estimating.
Does the game end?
There is a story ending, and you can continue after it.
Is an old how-long chart still right?
It describes early access. 1.0 added an ending and two regions, so those hours are a different game.
