Yesterday, Bethesda teased six major new features coming to Starfield next year. Following this, the company also shared a player count update, revealing 13 million players have now joined Constellation since the game's launch on Xbox, PC, and Game Pass in September.
Once again, it's Bethesda's "biggest launch" in its history. To celebrate this milestone, it's released a new infographic, combing all of the player stats, and revealing a bunch of fun facts like the average playtime per-player being roughly 40 hours and the combined amount of planets visited so far getting close to 2 billion.

Back in October, Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella also noted how Starfield set another record on launch, for "the most Game Pass subscription added on a single day ever". In saying this, no specific figures were shared.
You can get the rundown about what's on the way to Starfield in 2024 in our previous coverage here on Pure Xbox:

Congrats and im sure there will be more players thats like me are busy with other things or backlogs or waiting for mods support, i have no doubt it can reach 30 million players
13 million is great! I’ve yet to play it. Been busy with other games and personal things. When I free up some time, I’ll be giving the game a shot.
40 hrs on average is awesome but I may have put in more than 10 persons average playtime and I don't regret it. Congratulations to Bethesda and Xbox
Really? The ashta are what gets people? Folks just playing the main quest and sticking to the city planets, it sounds like. Surprised that Ecliptic is giving folks trouble. I just farm them for ships and gear. I have the Wanted perk lol. Come into my parlor…
Such a great game. I think about my mining outposts all the time. I became obsessed with that feature. I hope that outposts gets its own expansion.
The engagement of some of their biggest games is great. 13 mil already for this, 10s of millions for Halo and Forza 5 ect. Active users and engagement is clearly where Xbox wants their bread buttered and their plan is a good one IMO.
Copies sold ? I'd say 4-5 million tops.
Pretty sure I make up 90% of that ship building figure 😂 I honestly can't wait for mods to expand on it or for them to implement a blueprint saving and sharing feature.
Where's the "Hours wasted managing f'ing inventory" and "times the game crashed while loading" stats?
@Serpentes420 I played 250+ hours and I swear half of that was in menus or travelling around the whole galaxy to sell all the loot I required because you couldn't do that in just one place. It's definitely designed to drag out time as long as possible.
@Serpentes420 this game has more crashes than destruction Derby I'm so glad I'm done with this game
Definitely think that those stats will double over the holidays as we enter peak gaming season… I for one will spend this time with Xbox instead of loved ones…
I don't think I have seen a game hated quite as much as this has been this year, and yet it seems to be a total success. I know I enjoyed it, my game of the year.
@JayJ Zero clue how so many people like yourself get indifference and disappointment confused with hatred. They're beyond different.
Wonder how many of those, that are still active, and how many that actually bought it, instead of just trying it out on gamepass?
@shoeses People who are indifferent don't keep talking about something.
@JayJ they're obsessed with hating this game. Most of us just move on to a game we actually like. They linger on the subject and make it their whole ass personality and wonder why they're jokes.
I have Gamepass, bought the game and put about 80 hours in my first sitting with plans to tackle some more time over the holidays. Haven't beat the game yet too. Been playing some BG3 as well. I don't get how any RPG fan can't enjoy both games, but that's their problem. Glad I'm eating good instead of staying miserable in the comments. ***** must be old by now.
Fun game, but please Bethesda keep updates coming. I want more in depth aspects of this game to be addressed. Story updates as well as job updates ie crafting, cooking, piracy, bounty hunting.. also patch out at least 25% of glitches. I'm tired of falling through my map in New Atlantis.
