It's the biggest Bethesda game launch ever, but not the biggest Bethesda game on Steam.
on Steam and at this moment, more than a month after it launched, has more than 337,000 people grinding away at it.
But again, context is everything: Baldur's Gate 3 was only available on Steam when it launched So it's almost inevitable that its Steam concurrent player count was higher, because unlike Starfield there was no"other platform" option—if you wanted to play, you played on Steam. Starfield's current peak player count puts it nowhere near the top five all-timers on Steam: PUBG, CS:GO, Lost Ark, Dota 2, and Cyberpunk 2077 all had peak concurrent player counts in excess of one million. But those games, like Baldur's Gate 3, were all Steam exclusives when they were putting up those big numbers, so the player base wasn't diluted by other storefronts, platforms, and Game Pass.
What I think will be more interesting than these early numbers is how they hold up in the months and years to come. 12 years after it first came out, Skyrim is still putting out enviable concurrent player numbers: Nearly 25,000 people are playing it across the original and remastered Special Edition right now.
The bottom line is that Starfield may not be dominating Steam the way its Bethesda predecessors did, but given the very different sort of world it's launched into, it looks to be doing just fine. And to paraphrase what we said last week:Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
