The Starfield Steam player count is now lower than that for its Bethesda cousin Skyrim, only two months after it first launched. While updates and mods have steadily arrived for the successor to Fallout and Elder Scrolls, and some of the Starfield player base is located on Game Pass, Skyrim, which launched all the way back in 2011, is nevertheless the more popular RPG on Valve's platform, based on recent data. It comes as Starfield fails to receive a nomination for Game of the Year at this year's The Game Awards.
