The game hasn't even been out for a month, but in that timeframe, it has managed to beat Skyrim's concurrent player count on Steam (with over 1 million concurrent players taking the game for a spin on launch day) and amass over 10 million players.

But Steam reviews tell a slightly different story, with Starfield scoring lower with Steam players than any previous Bethesda game--including Fallout 76, which faced an incredibly rocky launch.
