Eurogamer • • technology
Key Points:
- Starfield's PS5 port, launched on April 7th, has faced significant technical issues, but upcoming fixes are planned to address these problems.
- Despite the issues, the game sold approximately 140,000 copies on PS5 in its first week, outperforming recent Xbox-to-PS5 ports like Avowed (54K) and Age of Empires 4 (52K).
- South of Midnight, another recent PS5 release, has underperformed with only 16,000 copies sold after two weeks, highlighting Starfield's relative success on the platform.
- While Starfield has sold well on PC (3.7 million copies on Steam) and Xbox (around 1 million copies sold), internal expectations for the PS5 version may have been higher given the game's strong performance elsewhere.
- The game has attracted over 8 million players on Xbox Game Pass, indicating high interest despite mixed reviews and reported rough edges in gameplay.
