Starfield's Steam Population Plummets 97% in 6 Months as Bethesda Struggles to Retain Players
- Starfield has lost 97% of its Steam players in less than 6 months, peaking at 330k players at launch and now down to 9k
- Its Steam reviews have improved slightly to "mixed" after previously being "mostly negative"
- The drops don't account for Xbox/Game Pass players, but concerning for paid Steam players
- Bethesda plans to release updates every 6 weeks with bug fixes and content, but mods currently driving engagement
- Game has over 1,000 planets but "boring" dead planets get in the way of engagement and longevity
