Starfield has lost 97% of its Steam players in less than six months
Starfield was supposed to be Bethesda’s next big thing, on a par with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. But it was released to a decidedly mixed reception and in the five months since it launched, it’s lost over 97% of its Steam player base.
As game launches go, Starfield was not the stellar success that Bethesda and parent company Microsoft probably hoped for. This space-based action RPG may have been Bethesda’s biggest launch but, less than six months later, it’s lost 97% of its Steam player base.
After peaking at 330,273 concurrent Steam players shortly after launch, Starfield is now down to just under 9,000 (via SteamDB). By contrast, over 25,000 Steam players are currently playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
