How many copies did Starfield sell?

Starfield launched to critical acclaim and a large number of sales, though the initial praise dwindled over time as we got further from launch day. While the exact sales numbers haven’t been revealed just yet, all signs point toward a lot.

How many copies has Starfield sold?

Starfield has presumably sold millions of copies, though the exact figure remains under wraps. As of Sep. 20, Bethesda reported having 10 million players on Starfield across all platforms. However, it doesn’t serve as a good estimate because its Game Pass availability likely skews the numbers. The direct sale numbers are likely much lower.

Still, all signs point toward Starfield having sold millions of copies.

First, it was the top-selling game in the United States in Sep. 2023 and the seventh across the entire year. Second, it was the fifth fastest-selling in Europe in 2023. And third, PlayTracker estimated it had sold at least two million copies of the Premium Edition at launch, and they were separate from Game Pass numbers.

We’ll update this article with more information once the official Starfield sales numbers have been revealed.

Is Starfield Bethesda’s best-selling game of all time?

Starfield is almost certainly not Bethesda’s best-selling game of all time, not yet anyway. That title belongs to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which has reportedly sold 60 million copies across all platforms.

Since those numbers make it one of the best-selling games of all time, it’d be a stretch for Starfield to beat it. However, depending on how things pan out for Starfield, it could close the gap as it continues to rack up sales in the future.

How many players does Starfield have?

Starfield’s current player count stands at around 261,865 across all platforms, according to ActivePlayers, with 45,186 on Steam, according to SteamCharts, showing a decline in active players. However, this dip doesn’t mirror the sales figures, as many players have likely completed the game and moved on.
