Starfield Shows Promise: High Xbox Sales, Steam Player Count, and Twitch Viewership

While we still don’t have any sales figures or player counts – which, frankly, isn’t surprising since Starfield isn’t technically out yet – we’ve seen some signs that it’s doing well.

on weekends wereportNot only did Xbox Series X sales on Amazon increase by more than 1,000%, but it also reached 245,183 concurrent players on Steam (this figure only includes people who bought the more expensive version to get five days of early access to the game). Now, we’re seeing another sign that things might be headed in the right direction, at least as far as interest is concerned.

TwitchTrackerrevealed that Starfield is now listed as a first-party game with2nd “Highest Concurrent Viewer Record Ever”, beating games like The Last of Us: Part II, God of War: Ragnarök, and others. Pokémon Legends Arceus. While that’s definitely impressive, it’s worth noting that Starfield is listed as number 42, meaning it has 41 games ahead of it, only one of which is a first-party title.

So which first-party game is leading the way? This is actually another Microsoft title; Minecraft. Minecraft topped the charts. Congrats to Starfield, though.
