Starfield Tops U.S. Sales Again With PS5 Arrival And Updates

Starfield was the top-selling U.S. game for its PS5 launch week, thanks to the PS5 release and a major free update (Free Lanes) plus the Terran Armada expansion. Circana data shows roughly 140,000 copies sold that week, with PS5 dominating new sales and Xbox Game Pass keeping full purchases modest. Momentum will depend on future weeks, and a potential Switch 2 release could boost interest, though Bethesda cautions there won’t be a Starfield 2 meant to draw in new fans.

Terran Armada Falls Short of Starfield's Ambition

Starfield's Terran Armada DLC adds new Incursion battles, crew members, and loot, plus a Free Lanes traversal update, but the premium story underdelivers: it treats a galaxy-scale threat as a filler quest, repeats similar Incursion missions, and ends with a less-than-epic finale. While Delta the roboticist’s ally and the new ships shine and the outpost/decor options are welcome, the expansion feels half-baked relative to its potential, leaving room for a stronger, campaign-wide payoff in future content.

Terran Armada DLC Fails to Restart Starfield's Momentum

Bethesda's Starfield Terran Armada expansion (released April 7 for $9.99 and paired with the Free Lanes update) has not reversed the game's fortunes, drawing mixed-to-negative Steam reviews and only modest engagement — Steam’s all-time peak of 330k concurrent players seems distant, with Terran Armada peaking around 27k this week and Twitch seeing roughly 13k peak viewers — highlighting a tepid reception and limited impact on the broader player base.

Starfield's Free Lanes Update Expands with Terran Armada, New Gear and Cruise Control

Starfield's Free Lanes update is the game’s biggest in over a year, adding free content across platforms (including PS5) and tying into the paid Terran Armada expansion, which brings a new questline, locations and crewmates. The free patch revamps gear with X-Tech crafting and legendary modifiers, adds 20+ weapons and armor pieces, introduces the Moon Jumper vehicle, the Chateau Des Etoiles house, and Milliwhale the new pet, plus Anchorpoint and other new POIs. A new Action Figures system grants passive bonuses, and Cruise Control lets you autopilot to destinations while you tend to your ship, with Terran Armada offering substantial extra content for a $10 upgrade for non-Premium players.
