Starfield, the latest game from Bethesda, has surpassed the Steam concurrency peak of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, becoming the studio's biggest launch with over six million players across all platforms. Bethesda plans to keep players engaged with official DLCs, free updates, and mods. Game Director Todd Howard revealed that official modding tools for Starfield will be released in 2024, following the usual three-month waiting period after a Bethesda Game Studios launch. The availability of these tools will expand the modding potential of Starfield and make it accessible on Xbox consoles.
