We already know how many copies Starfield has sold and we can say it: Bethesda has achieved it

Yesterday, we brought the news that Starfield had managed to gather 1 million players at once. One million astronauts and adventurers who had come together simultaneously to explore the stars. Now we know how many players have installed and played the game in the last seven days.

Because one thing is the peak number of players at once, which is very interesting to know how active a game is. And another thing is to know the number of players who have played a game since its launch, as this allows you to determine the number of copies sold for a title after its release.

Well, Starfield has reached 6 million players in just 7 days. An absolute madness that has managed to break Bethesda’s own record: never before had one of their games achieved so many players in a single week.

Bethesda saves the day, and Xbox breathes a sigh of relief

In a tweet, the official Starfield account has revealed that more than six million players have already jumped into the RPG from the creator of Skyrim and Fallout. This figure includes players on Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, and possibly cloud players as well.

The announcement comes just a day after Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, revealed that the RPG’s peak concurrent players have already exceeded one million.

Now, the announcement of 10 million players has a good chance of coming next week. But we’ll have to wait and see how this weekend unfolds, a crucial moment for all Game Pass subscribers to try the game without the pressures of work/school.

How much money has Starfield made

What will be very interesting in the future is to know how many players come from Xbox’s subscription service, Game Pass, and how many have purchased the game on the Microsoft Store and Steam.

And, if possible, to know how much money this hybrid release has brought to Bethesda’s coffers, comparing it to past releases of major IPs like Skyrim or Fallout. Without a doubt, we are eager to learn all these details.
