Bethesda has never said 6 million copies sold. It’s 6 million players, including game pass. All we can glean from this is they have sold less than 6 million copies, though we don’t know the exact number. Still, Starfield is dominating the sales charts, so it’s still doing well. How well isn’t known, but I don’t have any doubt that it will be sufficiently profitable over its lifetime. Even that dumpster fire of Cyberpunk was very successful. Marketing is sometimes more important than building your game.
As of this second, BG3 is ahead of Starfield on Global Steam sellers at #2 behind CSGO. Either BG3 is performing at top tier AAA level, or Starfield is performing poorly on Steam.
Oh, crap! Everybody scramble, quick, the mods are here!
