player count says it all.

[casdarius]

currently there are just over 10k players on starfield... after a major dlc release.
for reference skyrim special edition which added god rays and a hdr pack still has over 29k players..

stop huffing the copium.

I mean I played Starfield again after a lengthy hiatus, when the modkit came out. But it quickly turned sour again, since its the same old same old.

The varuun DLC, i was gonna get it, but now I don't even want to. Too generic Bethesda content. The game needs a larger overhaul, not a small DLC.

This is very true the numbers don'e lie, its not looking good for SF.

Well by all acounts it was a rather short story expansion, so anyone who came back for that is gone again now, which is exactly what the figures show, no surprise.

LOL wow that is so small number 😂

Not that we haven't seen failures in gaming before it happens all the time, especially now in the golden age of "early access". But the worst part is how we can't even talk about the obvious bad behavior coming out of game studios because of the "fans".

Without discussion nothing ever moves forward.

Right, an for some reason there are people that insist that we dont talk about it.

[ebolaconundrum]

Skyrim special edition currently has 2.5 × as many people playing it. That's about 26,000

[JacEEEBABY]

The numbers aren't surprising considering how boring and empty SF is. The dlc didn't help the game out either.

one game released on gamepass at launch, the other did not. xbox's most played list tells a different story entirely.

[Wozed]

Game is so meh they have to "sell it" 0.00$ on xbox to brag about good sales numbers..

[TheLegend27]

Amazingly small number, we have the smallest numbers, don't we folks? Tremendously small

Starfield is sold 70$ on xbox. Gamepass is 12$ a month. You sound confused

[RL 101]

Does that seem like too little to you? Starfield has had a stable and established player base for months, with weekly peaks of +10K simultaneous players on Steam alone. These numbers are pretty good considering that the title came out more than a year ago, which means that it's not going to go down much further than that (in any case, it can continue to have occasional spikes with each update over time).

This helps it maintain a long-lasting community for several years, just like other titles from the studio.

There are many games that have been released just a month ago and already have fewer simultaneous players than Starfield.

Regarding Skyrim or Fallout 4, there are several factors that you don't take into account and that explain why these titles have more simultaneous players:

- They are games that practically everyone owns

- Both Skyrim and FO4 have been discounted to ridiculous prices on many occasions (almost free), increasing their accessibility to them by more people throughout all these years.

- It is evident that the reach of Skyrim and FO4 when it comes to being able to gather many simultaneous players is infinitely greater than that of Starfield, a game that is currently owned by many fewer people, since it has never been as discounted as the previous ones and has not been available to the public for as long as the others.

- They are very addictive, like all Bethesda titles (including Starfield, hence the high average of hours spent per player), which is why they are still being played so many years later, just as will happen with Starfield.
