For many players already exploring the open systems of Starfield already, it is no secret that early access for Bethesda’s newest IP in two decades is out now. So far, the success for Starfield cannot be discounted with more than 200,000 players that paid ahead for the premium version of Starfield through Steam – not the cheaper upgrade for Xbox Game Pass owners.

And this is not the only strength illustrated favoring Starfield in its pre-launch sales. Of course, with the numbers of Steam concurrent players, the overall top sales crowns the title as well currently placed at first. Even on Amazon, Starfield also shows to be on a strong path as well for Bethesda and the greater Xbox platform too.

Now a new milestone has been revealed over on Twitch. Via TwitchTracker, Starfield now sits as the most-streamed title on the platform for a first-party release. And considering this was before the wider public can enjoy the game certainly says a lot. The game despite this new title is only placed at #42 on the list.

However, this achievement should not be undermined as the game has overshadowed other release giants of the past. That includes The Last of Us Part II, God of War Ragnarok, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus to name a few. If we want to get into specifics, technically Minecraft is the true champion of this title considering the game is owned by Microsoft. But, being a multiplatform title, doesn’t properly fit the mold.

Similarly, Hogwarts Legacy at its release also performed in the same pattern. In that, the game during its respected early access period already achieved its placement as the most-streamed single-player title ever. You can read the full report by heading here.
