Bethesda is known for its cult role-playing gamesand some The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim still manages to be talked about 10 years after its release thanks to multiple reissues. But the next adventure of Bethesda will be done hand in hand with Microsoftit will be Starfieldand the boss of Xbox has big ambitions for him.
Phil Spencer spoke with Stephen Totilo ofAxios and said it wants to make Starfield “the most played Todd Howard game of all time”. As a reminder, Todd Howard is executive producer and director at Bethesda Game Studiosensuring the development of fallout and The Elder Scrolls especially. Quite a challenge, because in 2016, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had 30 million copies sold. It has since been released on Switch, in VR and in a recent Anniversary Edition, Bethesda hasn’t returned sales numbers for five years, but they must be huge.
Still, Phil Spencer’s goal isn’t all that crazy. Starfield will certainly be exclusive to PC and Xbox Series X | S, but the fans are numerous and the title will undoubtedly sell very well when it is released on November 11. And especially, the boss of Xbox can count on subscribers to computer/Xbox Game Passthere are currently 25 milliona figure that is only climbing, which are curious. Forza Horizon 5 has 18 million players and Halo Infinite more than 20 million. From there to imagine that Starfield reaches 30 million players just with the subscribers of the Game Pass, there is only one step. If you want to try the service of Microsoftit costs €27.99 for three months.
