There's already been a lot of fantastic news about the launch of Starfield and now Bethesda has announced the new IP has surpassed 6 million players, making it the company's "biggest" launch of all time.

This puts the space exploration title ahead of the company's long-running RPG franchises The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Bethesda shared the following post on social media, thanking the player base for their support:

Of course, one thing to factor in here is the game is not only an Xbox Series X|S and PC release, but also a "day one" title on Game Pass. This means there could be a lot of people playing Starfield via Microsoft's video game subscription service, who haven't actually purchased it yet.

In saying this, earlier this week it was highlighted how Microsoft's 'Premium Edition Upgrade' for Starfield (giving players early access to the game ahead of its full launch) was the best-selling selling item on the Xbox store.
