That's incredibly good. Just Starfield or has the rest of their software been doing better?

"Starfield launch promoted a single day record for new Game Pass signups"

Well that answers that question from the other thread.

MS just needs 365.25 starfields a year for maximum growth!

Are you implying MS won't be around for the next skipped leap year?

Bold bet.


Actually serious, I wonder if bad games like Redfall do ok with gamepass signups too. A lot cheaper to try it on gamepass than actually buy it.

I mean is that surprising? It's the biggest game to launch since gamepads inception, and it was from a studio who was multiplatform.

Not surprising but Halo or Forza could have pulled big numbers too. I'm still not sure if Starfield was higher or lower than Forza Horizon 5's player count.

There is also the question of how many people let their sub finish or resubbed after starfield released
