According to the statement, this number covers all platforms. That means Xbox Series X/S, PC and cloud-accessing players are all included. When we look at SteamDB data, we see that 269,177 players were reached yesterday. Spencer thanked the developers at Bethesda for this achievement, adding: “Thank you to all the players who helped us reach this milestone.”
In a statement to Bloomberg, Spencer also said that they thought Starfield would be a great success for Xbox. In the statement, he stated that the game will be the most played new generation Xbox game.
We can say that the number of 1 million concurrent players is a significant achievement. Considering that not everyone plays the game at the same time, it is possible to estimate that this number is much higher with all players. Let’s also add that it is expected to be Bethesda’s most played game so far due to its inclusion in Game Pass.
