To skip the Starfield intro videos, you need to delete or rename a video file in the game’s main folder. Follow the steps below to do so.
First, we need to access the Starfield installation folder.
Steam

- Right-click on Starfield
- Click Manage and select Browse local files
Xbox App for PC
- Launch the Xbox App
- On the left, under INSTALLED, click on Starfield
- Click on the button with three dots

This will take you to where Starfield is installed.
