Starfield was supposed to be a revolutionary space role-playing game, it ended up being just a Fallout 4 enhanced with a sci-fi vibe. A title presented as the new spearhead of the Xbox Series Bethesda by Microsoftwhich still attracted many players, but the latter are already abandoning the ship.
As reported PCGamesNciting data from SteamDB, In recent days, Starfield has only had between 4,000 and 12,000 players simultaneously on Steam, we are very far from 330,000 players connected at the same time at launch. To compare, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, released in 2016, currently still has between 16,000 and 27,000 players simultaneously. The fault of a game which disappointed the fans, the evaluations are “average” on Steambut not only.
Starfield suffers from two problems, the first being lack of content updatesan essential thing for today’s market. Bethesda has released patches to improve the experience, including version 1.9.51 most recently, but that’s not enough. Players especially expect real content, the extension Shattered Space has not yet given any news, difficult to maintain the hype in these conditions. The other problem is the absence of mods official on PC. If alternatives have obviously been possible since the launch, including Nexus Modsmany players are waiting for the tool Creations of Bethesda to get started in the modding. Todd Howard claimed that this tool would arrive at the beginning of the year on PC and Xbox Series X|S, it is still waiting.
As a reminder, a rumor suggested that Starfield could be released in the future on PlayStation 5, like other games Xbox Game Studiosbut ultimately, we should no longer rely too much on that, at least for the RPG spatial. Furthermore, if the figures are low on Steamlet’s remember that Starfield is also available on Microsoft Store and Xbox Series X|S, via the Game Pass which has many subscribers. The title managed to attract 10 million players in the month of its release, and there are undoubtedly still quite a few of them having fun with it on these other platforms.
Starfield is therefore not yet completely to be buried, but Bethesda has a lot to do to make it last as long as Skyrim. You can find the game from €56.99 on Amazon, Cdiscount, there Fnac And Gamesplanet.
