After years of development and a big delay, Starfield finally landed on September 6 for all players. The launch day was a huge success, as Starfield surpassed 1 million concurrent players on all platforms, according to Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer. This would seemingly count players across Xbox Series X|S and PC, as well as the many other places you can stream the game via the cloud.
“Thanks to all the players who helped us reach this great milestone,” Spencer said on social media, also extending congratulations to the developers at Bethesda Game Studios.
Starfield also became the “most-played next-gen exclusive game on Xbox,” Spencer told Bloomberg. If Starfield hit 1 million concurrent players, then the game’s total audience is no doubt quite larger since not everyone is playing at the same time.
