Thank god another Starfield thread.
Sales number/player count threads for new releases are absolutely valid. New news, new thread.

1 million "players"? Well, they have at least 30 million Gamepass subscribers...

Concurrent players. That means it’s probably closer to 4-5 million that have played so far.

The game is good, the combat is the best ever for a Bethesda game. I just miss some mods but that is coming soon afaik.
The game is beautiful on the Series X.
Will definitely buy a physical edition later.

That’s one million gamers playing across Xbox and pc at the same time. And the game just launched to the masses today (although early edition gamers are already playing it and it actually was playable yesterday on gamepass after dinner).

I could have sworn this is the reason we have OTs

Is that good though? I would expect it to be much higher than a million given that it’s free to GamePass users. Hell - Cyberpunk sold 13 million on day one and had a much much higher concurrent player amount.
What happened to the 10-20 million copies sold on day one that everyone was predicting? “That confidence”, “Starfield is going to be huge” to 1 million concurrent players at peak, maybe 2-3 million copies sold (though I doubt it — GamePass effect is at max for this title)

I just went to earth for the first time to survey it. I was surprised to find out that "space" isn't just a billboard of a planet. It's a dynamic sky box, it is just really empty and things are apart (like real space).
I originally went to the moon (Luna), and while I was in orbit (i know not technically in orbit) I saw that the Earth was behind the horizon. I got the idea to fly perpendicular to the planet and low and behold, slowly but surely the earth came from behind the horizon. It sure took a long time though.

Who predicted Starfield would sell 10-20 million copies on day one? Even a Call of Duty sells 20 million but in an entire year.

His ass predicted it.

Check out his post history. He’s been dumping on starfield even before the game was being played early access. Lol

Cybepunk didnt have 1 week of EA so people can shit on it. Those 13 millions would be half if people would have known the state of the game one week prior to release.

You ain't kidding.
We went from "my happiness isn't tied to commercial success" to "what happened to 20 million copies prediction? A figure I most assuredly pulled out of my keester".

1 million playing at the same time which tops BG3 peak concurrent players on Steam, BG3 Peaked at 850,000.

Like ppl don’t understand concurrent and sales/or how many people have it.
Anyways congrats to Bethesda. I can say I’m one that is playing it. It’s pretty fun once you get the hang of it. Still hadn’t built or understood the outpost yet.

But then why not announce the total amount of players?
'5 million players' sounds more impressive than '1 million concurrent'.
No ?

Doesn't sound bad, but could be better.
I guess it'll be interesting to measure everything about this game. Total amount of concurrent players, number of all time players, all time sales, Gamepass subscriptions growth and Xbox Series X/S sales growth during this entire month.

There will be more on the weekend (same as BG3)

Even with such a good news some people still have weird takes here.
Remembers me at this
Some people have an axe to grind with the game and the companies behind it.

You gotta wait for the weekends. It took bg3 a while to hit it's highest and it was a weekend.
But yeah gamepass will affect this. If it hits 400k on steam that's insane and probably means around 2 to 2.5 million steam sales alone in the first week.

You're comparing Xbox + Steam with Steam alone...

"A broken mess" Cyberpunk had over million concurrent on Steam alone. BG3 had 850k concurrent on Steam alone. This game has a base of 30 million crowd who already pay every month for their Netflix.
2 million ain't failure but nothing to shout about if you use "the game of the generation"

BG3 wasn't on Gamepass.

A decent number, however for context Halo 3 achieved 1+ million concurrent players on the 360 alone.
And to access the game you had to buy it (obviously you could rent it from places but they had to purchase a copy), there wasn't cheap access option like gamepass back then. Really goes to show how big Halo was at its peak.
