"Starfield's Steam player count falls below Skyrim's, despite 'biggest launch ever' claim"

The number of players in Starfield on Steam has fallen below the concurrent player count of Skyrim, just two months after Bethesda touted Starfield as their biggest game launch ever. While Starfield has since regained a slight lead, the two games continue to compete for players' attention. It's worth noting that Starfield is also available on PC Game Pass, where it reportedly had over a million players shortly after release, while Skyrim's Special Edition is also on PC Game Pass. The decline in Starfield's player count raises questions about its staying power compared to Skyrim, which maintained a larger player base for several years after its release.
