Starfield, the latest release from Bethesda, has skyrocketed to become the company's most successful game in its opening month. With millions of players already immersed in the vast expanse of the starfields, the game shows no signs of slowing down.

Bethesda proudly announces a staggering milestone: 10 million players have embarked on their interstellar journeys since the game's launch on September 5. This accomplishment firmly cements Starfield as Bethesda's most successful launch to date, surpassing even the acclaimed titles of the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls series, including the beloved Skyrim.

It's worth noting that Bethesda's celebration of reaching 10 million players feels more like a victory lap, as the game had already claimed the title of their most significant launch when it reached six million players. However, such an achievement deserves recognition and applause.

While Starfield has garnered widespread acclaim from the Bethesda community, it has not been without its critics. Some have voiced concerns about various aspects of the spacefaring adventure, notably the menu system, which generated controversy prior to the game's release.

Nevertheless, the impressive player count and the predominantly positive reception firmly establish Starfield as a resounding success for Bethesda. With DLC plans already in motion, it appears that this space-themed RPG will continue to thrive and evolve.

In 2023, Bethesda fans have enjoyed a bounty of exciting releases, and leaked documents circulating online hint at a promising future with confirmed projects for the years to come.

If you have yet to embark on your own adventure among the 10 million explorers in the starfields, you can purchase Starfield on PC and Xbox or access it through a subscription to Game Pass. Don't miss your chance to join this galactic journey.
