Bethesda’s first single-player game in 8 years is racking up big numbers.
If you follow gaming news or even just this site at all, then we don’t have to tell you that Starfield is the latest first-person open-world RPG from pioneers of the format, Bethesda Game Studios. It is a titanic title, and given that the company releases about two games per decade, it’s a huge release, too.
Fortunately for Bethesda and its Microsoft overlords, Starfield has also been a huge success. The company announced one day after the game’s official launch on September 6th that the new release had hit 6 million players across all platforms. That unsurprisingly makes it the biggest Bethesda game launch of all time.
This really isn’t an unexpected result. People have been eager for new content from Bethesda after waiting twelve years since the release of The Elder Scrolls Part V: Skyrim and some eight years since Fallout 4.
