Starfield Has Already Surpassed 10 Million Players

Absolutely loving starfield and to think it's passed 10 million players!!! Not bad for a 6/10 😆

Congratulations to Bethesda and Microsoft! Despite all the negativity I have seen surrounding the game, it seems like it will have staying power as they collect more feedback and push more patches.

I am sure things will jump even more when official mod support comes.

Great news.

Although, is this really surprising when there are 25 million GP subscribers?

That just means 10 million people booted it up.

Great to hear. Brilliant game!!

Nice, gamepass is making it happen.

I've just finished the game and I really enjoyed it , I've not been that addicted to a game for a long time

Really need to get back playing as Baldur's Gate 3 and MK1 have really been taking up my time. Glad its doing so well as its fantastic and the boost Xbox needed.

I’m having a blast with it. At 10 hours in I thought- cool game. I’ll keep going. At 20 hours in i can’t stop thinking about what I will do in my next session when I’m not playing it.
Last game that got me like this was the Witcher 3.

A Total Success!
Congrats Team Xbox!

@GamingFan4Lyf its not just negativity, it’s people throwing a tantrum that it’s not coming to PS, so they created fake accounts and did their best to make it “fail”. Even the GP makes Xbox players not buy games and it sold 1 million early access on Xbox and 1 million on PC and yet the fake new’s continued. Which is sad, cause if this would have ended up a PS5 timed exclusive it would have gotten way more positive media attention. This game is mid to upper 80’s on meta and it’s treated like it’s a low 50’s. I haven’t even bought it yet, so i ain’t speaking on my personal take only the internet being the internet.

@HonestHick I feel like most of the negative stuff comes from Starfield fans complaining about people being negative towards it,lol. I see tons of positive press/coverage. 84 on meta means its a good game but like you I have not played it yet but I will get to it eventually.

Amazing news and congrats all around but I like to enjoy my games without looking at sales number and without a doubt Starfield is on top of my list as the most fun I had in a long time.

Great to see. Really enjoying it.

My current favourite game now I’ve taken time to the learn the systems within the game.

I was enjoying RE 4 remake but space just keeps calling to me as soon as I pick up the controller.

It has dragged me in and yet again I shall be space adventuring when I get home from work tonight.

@Realist i see what you are saying, but may i ask, how does a site give it a 80 and the other gives it a 40? I don’t need to play it to know it’s not perfect. I know it’s a large scale game and will have bugs and design choices some what review well. Granted this game the longer i wait will get better via patches. But this game has carried negative hate largely because MS bought it and choose to have it exclusive which for them is other wise known as not coming to PS. It’s pretty clear to anyone that looks for it. But i understand the game is under a subjective eye. I looked forward to when i slow down grinding Diablo 4 to try SF out with loads of patches that will surely make the game better to my first experience with it.

Very happy to see this! It is such a brilliant game and definitely my GOTY! The universe Bethesda has created is just so much fun to explore and I'm no where near finding everything to do yet!

I'm currently a UC undercover agent rooted within the Crimson Fleet. Thing is, I'm actually starting to enjoy being a pirate. Brilliant mission this.

@ApostateMage
This! I've just finished this storyline and to me it is almost on par with the Red Baron side quest in TW3. Yes, I'm serious. Loving Starfield (33 hours in).

Just about to hit the 100 hour mark in my play through. I've done all the faction questlines and looking at the achievement list I'm about halfway through the main story.

So many times I set myself a target for a play session then 3 hours later I'm turning the Xbox off knowing I did absolutely nothing I set out to do 😂

@SacredPYRO I feel you man. 47 hours and haven't done anything significant, mostly exploring planets and facilities.

Regardless of its 'metacritic' scores, the quality of the writing, the way the game was built etc, I am finding this quite an addictive game. It's so easy to get side-tracked and next thing you know, several hours have gone by and I've made 'no' progress in the Story, but still had a lot of fun. Its a world to get lost in and constantly 'discovering' something.

It's the 'only' game at the moment I want to spend my time in, the game I think about when not gaming etc. To me, they got the most basic element right from my perspective, which was to make something that I want to play and 'keep' playing too...

@BAMozzy same for me , I couldn't stop just doing everything and for once it wasn't about the achievements as I didn't even check out achievements till the third day of playing , I've not been like that in a very very time with any game .
I was actually thinking of ways to put off real life stuff to play it and when I was off the game I was thinking of things to do in the game like beefing up my defences on the outposts or where to put extra weapons on my ship so when I did get back to it I had a list in my head of things to do on there

30 million subscribers get the years biggest release and we're celebrating 10 million users. Considering that includes people who purchase the game (would be interested in that stat) on Xbox and pc, does it suggest a surprisingly smaller number (than I'd have expected) who 'own' the game actually played it??

It's a very good game but fallout and elder scrolls are more interesting and make you want to play more im about 20 hours in and finding it very dull and sick of fast traveling so much but will go back once I finish lies of p

I was a bit gutted when I first read that there was a lot of loading screens and no actual travel into planet atmospheres but I just love watching my beautiful ships takeoff, land and cruise in the little cutscenes.

@PracticeDummyGaming This is exactly how I feel. Witcher 3 was also the last game I played that I couldn’t stop thinking about. Now I sit at work thinking about what quest on a distant planet I am going to tackle next. Starfield has its hooks in me deep.

There is almost nothing revolutionary about Starfield but it is sublime video game escapism nonetheless. Like many others, after a rather underwhelming first 5 hours or so, I'm now hopelessly addicted. It's not perfect and I'd have changed plenty of elements but what we've got is still a great game, especially for Sci Fi fans.

@themightyant i agree, i imagine it will only get worse with upcoming releases in years to come. But all of a sudden a game thats a 80 plus meta is being written as a failure and bad game. There is no way that will help this industry be taken more serious as a medium.

It doesn’t mean anything. It should be 10 million have tried it and a million have actually bought it 😝

@Kaloudz we just want halo, fable, gears of war and rare to be great again.

@Kaloudz how long do we have to wait 😩

It is really good that Starfield is a success.

But, MS needs to keep this up and keep it up consistently. This won't mean a thing if MS doesn't keep releasing high quality AAA games. At least two per year that close to or exceed 85 on Metacritic.

@themightyant you know what’s in common with all that… social media and the ease to do it.

@themightyant i agree it’s in more than gaming. But wow are gamers toxic online. Most of which people are arguing isn’t even true or is just opinions. I am not saying i don’t have my moments of saying stuff online that could have been better kept to myself. But i am not going to argue with someone cause they like a game that i don’t or think a console is better than the other. I wish there was a way to say it would get better, but sadly i don’t see it.

I am really loving it myself... EXCEPT the base building. With 40 hours into the game i decided it was time to get one up and running last night. What a hassle...didn't have the right supplies. Wrote them all down on a sheet of paper and tried to go to the store in New Atlantis to buy what i needed, the woman (can't remember name now surprisingly since i kept shouting where IS ___) was NOT in the store, i went away and slept came back nothing. Then i built a little base and realized i need higher scanner perks to actually see what resources i'll be collecting....

I got about 60 hours in.
I'm a huge sci-fi fan, but this game just isn't doing anything for me.
I'm going to wait about a year, after a lot of Quality of Life fixes are made by micro/sada before I jump back in.

I've switched over to Eiyuden Chronicles and and enjoying it for the most part. It's funny but slow.

@Baler

Rare is great again. They made what is hands down one of the best live service games in history imo. Sea of Thieves is hands down one of the best games of last generation and one I continue to go back to. Sony will be lucky if even one of their 10+ live service games is as successful.

@RIghteousNixon my problem with it is I’ve nobody to play with or have the time to invest into it. I’d rather it was just a single player adventure like the good old days. I’m currently playing through nuts and bolts and really enjoying it but the game they put out now are few and far between.

@RIghteousNixon also I don’t pay for online and I’m not going to for one game I might play now and again.

Wasn't sure if I was going to play it at first (not a big fan of the Fallout or Elder Scrolls series) but since I have Game Pass figured, why not? Awesome game, Bethesda's best, imo. Went out and bought the Premium Edition upgrade that has a nice steelbook case. I'll buy a disc copy of the game around the holidays when there's some sales.

@Baler

And that fine. To each their own. Still need to recognize that Rare isn’t at some bottom of some trash heap. They have created a brilliant game that is seeing numbers that are hugely hugely hugely impressive given the age of the game. Rare is great again, they just aren’t producing games that fit what you’re looking for.
