Starfield’s Player Count Tells a Different Story Than Bethesda

As I type this, the number of players on Steam for Starfield is only a few thousand, which is significantly lower than its maximum player count of hundreds of thousands. This discrepancy becomes even more apparent when compared to Skyrim’s current player count of nearly 20,000, and that’s with a peak of almost 70,000. If the Steam numbers are any indicator of console players for Starfield (and they probably are), it seems doubtful that Bethesda’s future plans for the game will lead to a resurgence or even be realized at all. This is particularly striking in light of the developer’s recent statements about “exciting things” on the horizon for Starfield.
