Xbox boss Phil Spencer has announced that Starfield<\/a> has now seen over 12 million players.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Speaking during the CCXP event in Brazil<\/a>, Spencer described Bethesda\u2019s space RPG as \u201ca tremendous hit\u201d, although failed to announce sales figures or the split of players between Game Pass subscribers and owners of the game itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cStarfield has now had over 12 million players since the launch of Starfield, and it still sits in our top 10 most-played games from our studios,\u201d Spencer said. \u201cSo thank you everybody for all the support on Starfield, and making it a tremendous hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starfield launched on PC and Xbox Series X and S in September as a day-one Game Pass title. It became the biggest launch in Bethesda history<\/a> after shooting past six million players during week one, then saw more than 10 million players<\/a> less than three weeks after it came out.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The news follows the emergence that Bethesda is responding to negative reviews of Starfield<\/u> on Steam<\/a>. Representatives of the Microsoft-owned company have been replying to negative reviews on Valve\u2019s platform since early November amid Starfield’s \u2018mixed\u2019 user review rating of 68%.<\/p>\n

On the community front, one Starfield player recently completed the game via New Game Plus over 30 times<\/a>, and encountered a surprisingly cool interaction they hadn\u2019t seen before.<\/p>\n

Looking to the future, Spencer promised more content is coming to Starfield, and said it was the team\u2019s goal to have people playing the game over a decade after its launch, just as people have played Bethesda\u2019s own Skyrim 12 years after that monster hit came out.<\/p>\n

\u201cSkyrim is such an amazing hit from Bethesda Game Studios, and talking to Todd Howard and the team, really what they wanted to do as people who love space and space exploration, is give them that same opportunity [as Skyrim].<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

\u201cSo we\u2019ve already announced that we\u2019ve got our next expansion coming, Shattered Space<\/a>. We\u2019ve already told the community that they\u2019ll get all the mod tools so they can go and create their own content in Starfield, which has been so important to Skyrim.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo a ton of confidence that for many many years Starfield will be sitting very high in the gameplay [charts].\u201d<\/p>\n

IGN\u2019s Starfield review<\/u><\/a> returned a 7\/10: “Starfield has a lot of forces working against it, but eventually the allure of its expansive roleplaying quests and respectable combat make its gravitational pull difficult to resist.”<\/p>\n

IGN has a number of helpful Starfield guides, including best mods<\/u><\/a>, best traits and backgrounds<\/u><\/a>, and best ship build<\/u><\/a>. We\u2019ve also got a list of all Starfield Item IDs<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
