It’s already irrelevant. Not even in top 15 games being played anymore on steam in just a month for proclaimed game of the gen

"Not even in top 15 games being played anymore on steam in just a month for proclaimed game of the gen"

Sixth most played game on XBOX!

https://www.microsoft.com/e...

The idiots that used to claim that "Xbox gamers don´t play RPGs" are getting a full plate of salty crow for dinner!

Given Starfield´s huge success among Xbox gamers, I´m sure Phil will continue and support more RPG games on Xbox, be that first, second or third party.

Redemption-64342d ago

Let's be honest, it's the PC community that will keep this game going not the Xbox community. I am personally surprised it not just has a lower rating on steam, but the player count is also far lower than what a game of the generation is supposed to be.

EvertonFC342d ago

6th most played, hardly an achievement with what's on GP

Obscure_Observer342d ago

@EvertonFC

"6th most played, hardly an achievement with what's on GP"

But all y´all been saying for years that GP is Phil´s main goal. If that´s true, then Bethesda´s acquisition is nothing but a HUGE success for MS.

You can´t make shit up! Starfield is a huge success among Xbox gamers!

Barlos342d ago

I really hope MS are paying you well for this relentless shilling you're doing for them.

Crows90342d ago

Dude that's not saying much. There's not that many Xbox consoles out there...so being 6th is pretty darn bad. Lol

Take your cookie though. But at least I'm glad youre happy about exclusivity deals. That's essentially what Xbox has done. Massive exclusivity deals with 3rd party developers.

Elda342d ago

LMAO! Sixth most played? If the game is all that... then it should be at the top.

MrNinosan342d ago

Who said Xbox gamers doesn't play RPGs?
From what I've read, heard and support, is that Xbox gamers doesn't support jrpg, which is something else.

Skyrim is doing better on steam sales ranking...

Obscure_Observer342d ago

"Skyrim is doing better on steam sales ranking"

Skyrim 80% discount offer at $7.99 vs Starfield´s full $70. No sh!t, Sherlock

andy85342d ago

Skyrim is 12 years old and you'd think everyone who's going to play it has already. It shouldn't be outselling the biggest Xbox release of the year after 1 month irrespective of the cost.

ChasterMies342d ago

Bethesda games in general lost a lot of relevancy when Microsoft excluded 2/3 of the home console market. Starfield specifically lost a lot of relevancy when hype met reality.

Of course it will.

New content, quests, missions, expansions, DLC and official MOD support from Bethesda for both console and PC in 2024.

A new Xbox classic has born and will only get better!

After 40 days, Starfield is the sixth most played game by Xbox gamers!

Outstanding feat and amazing work from Todd and everyone at Bethesda!

He's hilarious. We all know he's in denial.

Sonic1881342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

I wouldn't waste my time with him. He's a liar, troll, and pretender and be acting like he's getting a paycheck from Microsoft. He's a flawed and toxic individual that loves to start mess. His comment history speaks for itself

Obscure_Observer342d ago

Yes. and you... you´re slowly becoming one of us.

In time, you´ll become us.

All in due time, my dear.

Until then, enjoy Spider-Man 2.

Elda342d ago

How in the hell am I slowly becoming one of you? LOL! That doesn't even make any sense. I'm not a poster child or a PR person for XB nor do I gloat or praise XB like you do. Though I own an XBSX it's not my first console of choice. Please...you can erase that notion from your mind asap.

recoctimocassirnff342d ago

Of course it will, bc ms bought it (not made it) and ms can do no wrong.

You're either overestimating Starfield or underestimating TES's popularity. Once the next Scrolls game comes out no one will care even an ounce about StarField. And if Starfield is any indication of what to expect then I suspect most will walk away being underwhelmed by Scrolls too, especially if Bethesda refuses to innovate.

Barlos342d ago

It won't even be relevant by the end of 2023!

Crows90342d ago

It's already irrelevant. The only people keeping it in the spotlight are media sites. Otherwise it would already be crickets.

Aloymetal342d ago

September's NPD will be the nail in the coffin, I bet this game won't even make xbox take the ''home win'' over PS5 like a lot here were predicting.

Destiny1080342d ago

its already dropped out of the top 5 xbox games after a week

Elder Scrolls 6 is due in 2028

Still a very healthy playerbase on Steam and Xbox. I'm looking forward to the expansion.

Obscure_Observer15d ago

"Didn't know SF needed saving."

It doesn´t.

pwnmaster300015d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Starfield was the biggest disappointment for me this gen coming from a huge Bethesda fan.
Put countless of hours into morrowind, oblivion, Skyrim, fallout 3 /4/new Vegas. Even played all the dlc for those games.
But Star field was the biggest piece of crap I played from Bethesda. I didn’t even play it on gamepass . I actually bought the game to support Bethesda.

Now I’m scared for the next elder scroll.

Obscure_Observer15d ago

"Now I’m scared for the next elder scroll."

Sure... Starfield was your biggest disappointed this gen and now you´re scared for Elder Scroll which is a game that will be directed by the exact same person?

If you really feel that way, you should just drop your act while you skip upcoming games from Todd Howard entirely.

pwnmaster300015d ago (Edited 15d ago )

“I agree, I can’t wait for Bethesda’s next game so they can shut all the haters up..
Been a fan since playing Morrowind on the original Xbox. Good times.

I like Obsidian and I think their next games will be good but let’s get real“

https://n4g.com/news/236133...

Me from this article 1504d ago.

Go ahead and keep talking.
We arnt all bias like you.

Oh here is another one

“I don’t remember being able to use spell and sword in obilivion.
But at the same time I played as a wood elf archer..
Still pretty excited for it.
Say what you want with Bethesda but their elderscroll game is on point and hope this game can match it.“
https://n4g.com/news/236101...

I’ll wait for your reply. Knowing you won’t lol

pwnmaster300015d ago

“This is major acquire for MS.
Tbh I’m not really sure what Bethesda make besides elderscroll and fallout, but that alone made me a big fan. If you weren’t investing a PC, Xbox is looking to good to pass up next gen.

I hope this helps Bethesda make a come back.
Literally yesterday if anyone mention them, they would of shitted on them and that was coming from both sides.
I had a feeling they were gonna get purchased.
They been loosing a lot of steam from there fans and this is a great way to regain some back.
Sony was slacking and now they are hurting.

If they don’t acquire more studios, they will lose to MS in the future“

https://n4g.com/news/237385...

Another one.

Don’t ever doubt me again.

Gamingsince198115d ago

You don't need to justify your opinion to obscure observer , this is the guy that makes 15 alt accounts a week to troll people and complain about n4g being biased lol

Obscure_Observer15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

"I’ll wait for your reply. Knowing you won’t lol"

Why wouldn´t I??

A lot of people got disappointed on Starfield for a lot of reasons. Empty planets, loading screens, lack of content, NPCs, exploration, world building, ship building, combat... you name it; and that´s fine!

If you don´t like the game, nobody can blame you if that´s not your cup of tea.

That been said, you called Starfield a piece of sh!t. Literally a 0/10 trash game.

So I ask you: How on earth can *you* expect ANYTHING from Bethesda´s next RPG?

I mean, by your own admission, you have a POS as director, a POS team of developers and a POS engine behind the next Elder Scrolls.

So pardon me if you own comments makes you sound like a hypocrite, because imo, you shouldn´t be "scared" for TES VI at all, you should just give it a hard pass since you know the team behind it. Would you? No. I don´t think you will. And that´s the reason why I told you to drop the act.

Got it?

Starfield's Series S performance modes are worthwhile - but not as impactful as Series X equivalents

Digital Foundry reviews the new Starfield performance mode upgrade for Xbox Series S.

432p.... wow that is low. But hey... they got it done. Personally I wouldnt play it that way as it would be too soft but for those who have no choice (other than buying an X) at least get something more than the 30fps cap at launch.

just_looken17d ago

It has a better framerate but lower resolution that fallout 3 on xbox 360 just remember that.

Gamingsince198117d ago (Edited 17d ago )

432p ?? Wtf 🤣 that would look muddy on a switch screen let alone a TV.

Luc2017d ago

432p that's worse than PS2. What were they thinking when designing this console

darthv7217d ago

Weren't most PS2 games 480i... (aka 240p)?

Christopher17d ago

Woof. They got there, but that is a very heavy cost. I hope there are gamers out there that are happy with this? But, honestly, that machine? I'm not a fan. Haven't been. I really wish they had just released the single hardware. I wouldn't pay to play at that level in this day and age.

darthv7217d ago

...that's the power of sliders

Christopher17d ago

I'm fine with sliders up until a game like Last Epoch is so hungry for power that I have them all at low while I'm playing BG3 at very high. *grumble grumble grumble*

The Series S is a mistake that a room full of drunks thought was a great idea. Again I can understand affordability but at what cost? Microsoft fumbled the ball and should yet again follow the path Sony took. Same machine same specs one has a disc drive the other doesn't. Personally I would go with the machine that has the most horse power hence the Series X. I don't know about other people but I don't like nerfed down games just so they can run on the Series S. Where I live nobody wants the Series S there have been some pawn shops that have said no to the Series S it doesn't sell.

Starfield's Creative Producer On Shattered Space, Mods, And Fan Feedback

"telling us that Bethesda is its own harshest critic."

If this is actually true, games from this company will never be at current standards.

Christopher19d ago

It's a thing people say to make them feel better. Pretty sure their biggest critics are unrelenting gamers who love to hate for longer than it's worth.

anast18d ago

This is true. And I would like to add their critics are also people that liked their games but had to begrudgingly move on because of the drastic drop in quality.

mkis00718d ago

Fyi all they had to do for space and planet transitions is what outlaws did.
