A lot of things leaked today, but the player count for Bethesda’s latest game wasn’t one of them.
Bethesda shared on Tuesday that Starfield crossed 10 million players, continuing its reach as the largest Bethesda Game Studios launch ever. This is up a few million from the previous milestone, where Bethesda shared that Starfield reached 6 million players on Sep. 7, 2023.
Starfield is available on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC, as well as Xbox Game Pass, and is the first title released by Bethesda Game Studios as an Xbox first-party game.
Analysis: A great game keeps on going
Starfield’s continued success is great to see, and I’m curious how many more player milestones we’ll get before the year is up.
Bethesda Game Studios previously outlined a number of features the team is going to add through future updates, including DLSS support, FOV options, and more. I hope not too much time passes before we find out when to expect these and other features or accessibility options.
We do know that the Starfield Creation Kit is coming early in 2024, which means I’m on the clock to upgrade my PC so I can really play around with that.
