There's a big difference on the number of concurrent players on Steam from what I can tell, unless I'm missing something.
BG3 hit a top of 875,343.
Starfield reached 269,177.
Currently, as of this moment, BG3 has 363,030 players, which is still above the all time opening peak of Starfield.
As I tend to follow streamers, I noticed an initial rush by many of them to play Starfield, but that balloon deflated fast. I've been reading less than positive commentary about the game.
I'm not sure what a successful launch for a game is supposed to look like, but this doesn't feel like it qualifies. I get the impression that Starfield is dead in the water when it comes to GotY.
Thats because Starfield is also on consoles and gamepass. They reported that they had 1 million concurrent players over all platforms.
How do you suspect that compares to BG3 across all platforms?
Considering BG3 only released on PC and one month later on PS5 you cant really compare it. But Starfield is far from a flop just because its players are more distributed compared to BG3.
