Starfield: Bethesda hoped for nearly a billion dollars in revenue

The huge leak of internal documents from Microsoft continues to reveal juicy information. We learned that Game Pass games cost the manufacturer a lot of money, and that the postponement of Starfield was a real disaster for the service of Microsoft. But before that, Bethesda And Microsoft had very big ambitions for the RPG in the space.

The document that interests us is not precisely dated, but it is not recent and indicates that Bethesda And Microsoft expected to generate nearly $1 billion in revenue with Starfieldat the time when it was still expected in 2021 and where the Game Pass was not the spearhead of the Xbox Series X|S. Of course, there is no question of making a billion in a week, the plan was calculated and precise, with 600 million the first year, then 215 million in two years, and another 50 then 35 million for the following yearsor $900 million over four years precisely.

High ambitions, but not so crazy. InsiderGamingwho relays the document, recalls that even if half of Starfield players (and there are already 10 million of them) bought it full price without going through the Game Passthis would already represent 350 million dollars. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know actual sales figures at the moment, Microsoft keep it secret.

Only the future will tell us if Bethesda And Microsoft were right with their sales forecasts. You can find Starfield from €52.40 on Amazon, Cdiscount And there Fnac.
