Bethesda’s upcoming space RPG, Starfield, has generated immense hype and anticipation, surpassing Baldur’s Gate 3 as the best-selling game on Steam. Despite not being released yet, pre-orders for Starfield have outperformed even the highly successful single-player game, Baldur’s Gate 3, and have exceeded downloads for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a free-to-play game. This overwhelming response indicates the tremendous excitement surrounding Starfield.
Bethesda has assured fans that Starfield will be their most bug-free launch to date, alleviating concerns about potential issues. Even if the game encounters bugs similar to Fallout 76, it is unlikely to lose its top spot on the Steam charts. Leaks and previews have provided glimpses of the epic gaming experience that fans have long awaited, despite some concerns about loading screens.
The wait for Starfield’s release is almost over, with early access available on August 31 for those who pre-order the deluxe edition. The standard edition will be released on September 6 for all other players.
