Starfield's recent player spike is a good sign, but Bethesda desperately need to line up their Cyberpunk 2077 moment.
There’s no arguing with the fact that the most recent Starfield update has changed the game dramatically. On top of the much needed 60FPS upgrade on Xbox Series X, there have been plenty of other quality of life adjustments to the wider game too. While it’s true that the initial update might have broken the game for a select few players, for the rest, it’s been fantastic. We can see this in the dramatic changes to the player count across all platforms.
It’s unreasonable to expect each of these to come close to the 25GB mammoth update this month, though we know games are an iterative process. Like CDProject Red with Cyberpunk 2077, Bethesda are likely very aware that their reputation is very much on the line with this game. In fact, I’d go as far to say that that pressure is exactly what they need. We’ve seen Skyrim and Fallout 4 getting plenty of updates over the years, with Fallout’s most recent coming nine whole years after release.
