Game news 8 months after its release, this RPG gained 70% of players overnight thanks to a patch that changes everything for them
This patch was enough to improve the game. Bethesda’s flagship RPG has seen its player count increase since its last update.
Great progress for Starfield
This is news that should definitely make Bethesda happy. Starfield 60fps update increases Xbox player count by 72%. The observation, made from data collected by True Achievements, also places the game at nine places in the latest Xbox gaming rankings and in the top 20. The update also comes with new display of performance options, improved surface maps, and other smaller improvements.
On the forums, many people say that they are delighted with the new features: “I played again. The surface maps are really useful (and it’s downright criminal that they weren’t enough at first) – they’re also very well done.“, “II’ve seen nothing but praise for the update and the game lately. Detractors are giving the game another chance, and it’s paying off“, “It seems to be the kind of game where the longer I wait to play, the better. Something like Cyberpunk.“, can we read among the comments posted on neogaf or gamefaqs.
More additions on the way
One of the most criticized aspects of Starfield was the lack of a 60 FPS mode for Xbox Series players. Obviously, you’ll be able to choose the settings that best suit your TV or display, with options of 30, 40, 60 fps or unlimited frame rates on VRR-enabled displays. Note that there are several more important features on the horizon, such as new ground vehicles for faster exploration of moons and planets, as well as official mod support and the long-awaited Shattered Space expansion. Shattered Space will be released this fall, and if we don’t already know what this new adventure will be about, we should usually hear about it at the Xbox Games Showcase in June.
Starfield isn’t a failure, with total player numbers reaching 13 million since its release late last year. Of these players, 5 million completed the game, achieving credits. The studio also reported that the average play time was 40 hours, which is impressive for an entirely single-player game.
