Across the spanning, endless depths of space in Starfield and the number of planets available to explore, players are going the extra mile to drop into Bethesda’s newest IP no matter the cost. Already, Steam has illustrated this with more than 200,000 concurrent players just for the pre-launch early access. This also extends to the game’s #1 placement for sales on the PC launcher as well.
Even more, the game is surging on Amazon as well for both Premium Edition alongside Standard Edition copies as release for Starfield comes this week. And Twitch also finds a new milestone for Starfield in a recent surprise. In that, it revealed that Starfield now stands as the most-streamed first-party release for the platform; before the official release that is too.
Now in a new string of reports, the Premium Edition Upgrade for Starfield has been a hot seller on the Xbox Store. From Pure Xbox, both U.S. & U.K. have found the item to be the top selling item on its list. Video Game Chronicle goes on to note similar traction also in territories including Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, India, New Zealand, Japan and ‘every eligible European country’.
Ultimately, this is a good sign for Xbox coming with recent wording from executives on what is to come to the platform following Starfield. From one leader over at Microsoft, it is explained that Starfield poses as the “starting gun” for Xbox with more titles still on the way entering 2024 next year and beyond. Howbeit, we’ve noticed similar success previously for Xbox too.
In that, Forza Horizon 5 has shaped to being one of the most-popular releases of its year and for the Xbox Series X|S overall. During its pre-launch, the arcade racer faced roughly 5 million players already exploring Mexico as the game became the biggest release for Xbox Game Pass to date.
