And that\u2019s in the face of a 330,723 peak at launch just over a year ago.<\/li>\n<li>In the overall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/most-played\/games\/xbox\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/most-played\/games\/xbox\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/most-played\/games\/xbox\" aria-label=\"Most Played Xbox Games list\">Most Played Xbox Games list<\/a>, Starfield is #26, not a significant departure from its usual, and even waiting for the list to update for nearly a week, that does not appear to be changing.<\/li>\n<li>Starfield is the 7th most played game on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/xbox-game-pass\/games?xr=shellnav\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/xbox-game-pass\/games?xr=shellnav\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/xbox-game-pass\/games?xr=shellnav\" aria-label=\"Console Game Pass\">Console Game Pass <\/a>and 5th on PC Game Pass, just behind Microsoft Solitaire Collection. Many playing on Game Pass will have already purchased the bundle for the expansion a year ago at launch.<\/li>\n<li>Starfield is almost in a dead heat with Fallout 4 on Steam, the nine year-old game, despite the expansion coming out this past week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Microsoft bragged that Starfield had the largest number of players at launch in Bethesda history, with the obvious caveat that it was due to being \u201cfree\u201d on Game Pass. But now, if we\u2019re using Shattered Space as a long-term indicator of the game\u2019s health or continued interest in its content, these player stats do not seem great. It\u2019s absolutely true that Starfield is not a \u201clive\u201d game, but with an expansion launch, you would want to see much more movement here. For instance, when Cyberpunk 2077 launched its Phantom Liberty expansion, the game exploded from 32,000 nightly players to 260,000. Nothing even close to that is happening here.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-1\" role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p class=\"color-body light-text\">Starfield<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Steamdb<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Previously, I speculated about how Shattered Space\u2019s performance might inform Bethesda\u2019s future investment in the series, namely if a large expansion like this happens again. In a normal era, maybe, but Microsoft is breathing down Bethesda\u2019s neck to get Elder Scrolls 6 done and Fallout 5 started and I just don\u2019t think this is some sort \u201clong road of redemption\u201d story here. It may be time to simply move on.<\/p>\n<p>I will not rule out that Microsoft will come up with some sort of data here to spin as a positive, but I\u2019m seeing nothing here that indicates that Shattered Space is getting the numbers it should, which would reflect how poorly it\u2019s being received on the whole. This is simply a miss.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow me <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\"
