How many people play Starfield? July 2024 player count

Starfield was one of the most popular titles back in 2023, but you might be wondering how the game is holding up in July 2024.

With the ability to explore the vast galaxy filled with well over a thousand planets, there’s plenty to keep players occupied even this long after launch. On top of that, there are some unique companions with quests to keep you busy.

Starfield player count in July 2024

The PC version of Starfield averaged 7,204 players every day between June and July, according to Steam Charts. However, these stats only include those playing the game on Steam, and on top of that, it’s a third-party website revealing the numbers, not Steam itself.

Since the start of 2024, Starfield on PC has averaged under ten thousand players, and it continues to dwindle with every month. But keep in mind that the Xbox player count isn’t accessible anywhere, so the Steam numbers don’t paint the entire picture.

Starfield peak player count

The all-time peak player count for Starfield was 330,597, back in its release month of September 2023. It maintained its high player numbers for a few weeks before dropping down to 137,116 in the next month, suffering a 66.61% drop in player retention.

Despite this, back in September 2023, the official Starfield account posted that over 6 million total players have played across all platforms, which means that it surpassed Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 as the best-performing Bethesda launch ever.

If you want to get into the game, this might just be the best time after the ship decoration feature made its way into the game amidst the rumors surrounding the upcoming Shattered Space DLC.
