Starfield released a little over two months ago on PC and Xbox. However, despite a strong start which saw Starfield become the “biggest Bethesda game launch” of all time, things have tailed off a bit now. In fact, there are currently more people playing Bethesda’s earlier RPG, Skyrim, over on Steam.
At the time of writing, there are currently 1610 Steam users playing through 2011’s Skyrim release, and 13,776 playing 2016’s Special Edition release. That makes a total of 15,386 Skyrimmers at the present time.
Both releases combined have a 24-hour player peak of 25,181. If we pop in the VR players as well, that number is higher still.
