| Ryuu96 said: Makes me wonder what Starfield will do. There's the 5 days early access which might hurt its peak and it being on PC Game Pass but those are both minor things. Starfield is tracking incredibly well on Steam and has been since pre-orders opened, IIRC by both follower count and pre-order charting it is tracking ahead of Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy. It has re-entered top 10 at #5 for Steam's pre-orders a month from release and it never really went too far from the top 10 to begin with, I know some will probably freak out if Starfield doesn't hit 90+ (even if it hits 89, Lol) but I don't think reviews are going to hurt this for launch, perhaps for the longer term but there's already a huge amount pre-ordering it. And this is before the main marketing campaign has kicked off. I may stick a poll up, Lol. |
Early access would really only hurt it if it was a quick completion. Given that Starfield will be an immensely huge game, with an ungodly amount of things to do, that's not really gonna work against it.
