You can fly directly to the surface of Starfield’s planets—sort of

A big part of Starfield’s marketing campaign has orbited around the enormous number of explorable planets in the game.

Pearce fast-traveled to Pluto due to the distance between where your ship starts and the planet itself was the smallest she could find. We’re not getting into the debate of whether or not Pluto is a planet, save that for NASA. She then flew for seven hours to find out if she could actually land on the planet.
