According to SteamDb charts, more people are playing Skyrim than Starfield, and that’s unlikely to change without a major Starfield update.
Starfield's recent player spike is a good sign, but Bethesda desperately need to line up their Cyberpunk 2077 moment.
I feel like the second big update that releases late this year will do just that. Part of the story expansion is also new means of transportation on planets.
What player spike?
I checked steamcharts through the link in the article and it went from 8,000 to 11.500, so yea 20% but when the game peaked at 330,000 It's safe to say that the actual effect of this update was negligible.
Doubt it'll ever get redemption. As many developers have said in various interviews it's beyond saving.
Just release the mod tools and expansion and move on.
Cyberpunk 2077 had some strong bones i disliked it on launch because I could see the potential I could see the strengths of what they wanted to achieve but it wasn't done yet
Starfield fans are asking Bethesda to introduce mech piloting to the game after it teaser "major features" on the horizon.
They didn't get the memo the game is dead and the Bethesdabots only want magic and fantasy.
Starfield fans? The game only has 9 thousand current players, worldwide! As a company you cannot waste time on creating "Major features", it is simply not profitable. Just move on.
The YouTuber DeityVengy has transformed Starfield into an open-world Star Wars RPG, or The Mandalorian, with over a hundred mods.
It's the better game 🤷♂️
I can't see how they can make Starfield an enjoyable game without a massive rebuild, better off waiting for Starfield 2. They need Flyable ships not just ones you pivot around a awful skybox, actual exploration, interesting missions that aren't just fast traveling to the next part, interesting companions, custom worlds not endless copy and past structures containing the same bad guys with the same loot in the same place, make the game look interesting as I've never seen anything so styleless and bland, make the cities you visit larger than a small village and one important thing that a space game needs, actual space travel.
I´m glad that´s not the picture on Xbox!
Starfield continues to be Bethesda´s most popular game on Xbox throughout 2024 even without any expansion, dlc or official mod support!
And that´s what matter most for us, Xbox console gamers: more RPG on Xbox getting love from the community.
MS wins either way.
How surprising.
