Starfield hits 15m players

Ambitious sci-fi RPG Starfield has attracted more than 15 million players to date. 

That's according to developer Bethesda, which posted on its website that the game had hit this milestone back in September 2023. Starfield brought in ten million copies within two weeks of its launch before hitting 12 million players by December. That means it has only attracted three million users in the last 11 months. 

"Thank you to the over 15 million players who are adventuring through the stars in Starfield," the studio wrote. 

"We’re thrilled that so many of you have embarked on this journey with us, and we appreciate your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve your experience playing the game and wanted to give our community an update on the most recent adjustments we’ve made to Starfield."
