With over 24,000 reviews counted so far,Starfieldis enjoying a “Very Positive” overall rating on Steam. There are some negative reviews from people who are havingdifficulty runningStarfieldon their PCs, but otherwise the discourse surrounding the game on Steam has been mostly positive. With many new games the victim of review bombing efforts, some may be surprised to see thatStarfieldis coming out of the game with a lot of positivity surrounding it. However, others may have predicted that this would be the case.
After all,Starfieldcarries on the traditions of classic Bethesda RPGs likeSkyrimandFallout, which are hugely popular with PC gamers. Not only that, butStarfieldwas a big hit on Steam before the game was even out.Starfieldamassed over 200,000 concurrent players on Steam in its early access period alone, with many fans clearly willing to shell out the $99.99 to get the Premium Edition of the game or the Premium Edition Upgrade.
Now thatStarfield’s official release date has rolled around and the game has released on Xbox Game Pass, its overall concurrent player count is even bigger. It was recently claimed by Head of Xbox Phil Spencer thatStarfieldhad over 1 million concurrent playersacross PC and Xbox, which is an incredibly impressive feat and would make it one of the most-played games of the whole year at launch.
There’s clearly a lot of momentum behindStarfieldright now, and so hopefully Bethesda capitalizes on it by releasing patches that address fan feedback and fix some of its technical issues. And if that’s not enough to keep fans engaged, perhaps the eventual release ofStarfield’s Shattered Space DLCwill bring them back in.
Starfieldis out now for PC and Xbox Series X.
