Game Pass has become central to Microsoft’s gaming efforts ever since its introduction, driving the company to a much more platform agnostic approach. Interestingly enough, however, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan doesn’t seem to be a big fan.
Starfield hits 6m players to become "biggest Bethesda game launch" ever
08.09.2023 - 08:33 / eurogamer.net / Phil Spencer
More than six million people have now played Starfield, developer Bethesda has said.
That makes Starfield the «biggest Bethesda game launch of all time», according to a post on X, formerly Twitter.
The suggestion is that a Bethesda game has never hit six million players in so quick a timeframe. On the one hand, it has done so with the help of Xbox Game Pass. On the other, it has done so without the PlayStation audience.
Earlier this week, Xbox boss Phil Spencer noted that Starfield had exceeded a million concurrent players across all platforms — including those playing on Steam, where numbers are publicly visible.
Around 250,000 players have been playing Starfield on Steam at its daily concurrent user peak — a figure which hasn't changed much since the game launched via early access last week, suggesting the majority of players there were eager to dive in early.
Many more will have joined this week upon the game's regular release — including those awaiting its arrival to give it a quick try on Game Pass.

Future Price Hikes for Game Pass Are “Inevitable,” Phil Spencer Says
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that it was raising the subscription prices for Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate in all markets except the US, Japan, Chile, Brazil, and Columbia, and as many may have expected, it looks like it won’t be the only price hike we’ll see for Microsoft’s subscription service.

Microsoft Could “Exit the Gaming Business” Without Enough Growth for Game Pass by 2027, as Per Phil Spencer
Microsoft has recently suffered perhaps its biggest ever leak in the games industry, having accidentally uploaded unredacted documents as part of its legal proceedings with the FTC. In the process, several new details have emerged, including the company’s plans to release a cloud hybrid next-gen Xbox console in 2028, a mid-gen Xbox Series X refresh that’s apparently in the works, a new Xbox controller that will have haptic feedback, Bethesda’s whole slate of upcoming titles, and more.

Microsoft Considered Buying Nintendo at One Point, Court Documents Reveal; Unannounced Bethesda Games Leaked
Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer considered buying Nintendo at one point, a leaked 2020 email revealed. Multiple documents from Microsoft's trial with the US FTC were leaked Tuesday, with one showing a casual discussion about buying the Mario maker, where Spencer called it a “career moment” and implied that a collaboration would be a ‘good move' for either company. It's worth highlighting that this conversation happened in August 2020, before Microsoft acquired Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media for $7.5 billion (about Rs. 62,431 crore). The leaks also disclosed Bethesda's release schedule, alongside details for Microsoft's planned mid-generation console refresh.
