Starfield has clearly had a positive impact on Xbox Series X sales, which have jumped by over 1000% on Amazon!
It cannot be overstated how big-name games can move consoles like nothing else. People will just buy a console for a game. It seems to be no different in the case of Starfield. Ahead of the game’s early access release, PeterOvo spotted that the Xbox Series X is doing exceptionally well on Amazon.
The console has managed to jump 1056% in sales on the e-commerce website, a pretty stellar (haha, pardon the pun) number.
Amazon isn’t the only place where Starfield is (also) doing well. After all, when the game was released for early access, it managed to hit an equally impressive 230,000 concurrent players on Steam. Considering the game hasn’t technically been released to most people yet, that’s not too bad, really. So, it will be interesting to see how this number changes once the rest of us get access to the game.
Reviews of the game were also quite positive. VG247 gave the game a 4/5 rating. The magazine notes that “Starfield is not greater than the sum of its parts. If you add all its misshapen, under-developed pieces together, you get kind of a ramshackle kitbash, with a few extra bits left over. Some of those pieces are cleverly crafted and engaging, representing a developer at the peak of its power, though they often get lost in Starfield’s sprawling scope. What remains is often enjoyable, but often frustrating.”
Other reviews are even more optimistic about the game. All this raises the question of whether or not PS5 gamers should be envious…
