Bethesda's space behemoth Starfield has now reached another new milestone in Steam concurrent players. Over the weekend, following the game's full release, it hit a peak of 330,723 concurrent players.

That's bigger than Skyrim's 287,411 concurrent player record, though still a way behind Fallout 4, which has a concurrent Steam player count of 472,962

I think for Fallout 4 it helped that the game came out just 5 months after the reveal so the hype was very high for it. Also it was before Fallout 76 came out which put a damper on the hype of Bethesda games.

Starfield also released simultaneously in Gamepass, unlike Fallout 4, which is probably playing a big part in the “low” numbers.
