25% of Starfield Xbox players haven't even made it to space
Just over 25% of Xbox players that have started Starfield haven't made it into the inky black void of space, according to achievement data.
This is like any game ever. There is always a percentage of players who don't seem to play the games they buy regardless of how new the game is.
It's even worse because of Gamepass, a lot of people probably installed to see what the hype was about but bounced off.
Not every game is going to be enjoyable for everyone, more people need to understand this.
Yeah, a better metric would be how many hit level 5 but did not visit New Atlantis or something.
I would guess also a lot of XBOX players download the game on gamepass, and then never open it - since the there isn't any achievement unlocked prior to the one you get for reaching space, I wonder if there is any other way to tell.
Mods on PC also disable achievements, so it's possible that a fair few space adventurers are missing the achievement
Probably that, and people just checking it in game pass. About the other achievements, It's funny that in Bethesda games people keep ignoring the main quest so much.
Ngl first thing I did was ignore the main quest. My years of Skyrim, fallout 3 & 4, Ubisoft open worlds and Witcher taught me to look for the main quest, then go in the complete opposite because then that's where the wacky stuff happens.
I was kinda annoyed that Starfield wasn't like that. After a few hours, I got kinda bored and followed the main quest (to a degree), and that's when a lot of the game world opened up and I started to really enjoy it.
I see, good to know, haven't played it much yet. I'm used to leaving the main quest at the bottom of the list, too.
There's not much to do on the beginning asteroid, though. If you want to do any of the side quests without the main quest, or no quests and base build, you still need to leave the starting asteroid via spaceship.
A couple years ago 50% of Minecraft Xbox users never opened the inventory
I'm probably contributing to this. Pirated it during the early access period on PC, played a decent amount, then on release installed the Gamepass version and used a tool to convert my save to the format the Windows Store version uses. Occasionally play that save on an Xbox as well so I was well past the point the achievement should have popped. Guess I'll get it if I ever do another character (or if it pops on ng+?)
I tried, but it crashes at the same part 15 minutes in.
There was some issue with the achievements for those of us who played the early launch. I'm playing the Steam version, but it thinks I never went to space or joined Constellation despite me having them for things like quests and killing 300 creatures.
I have barely went into space. I have not been playing because making a base is daunting.
You don't have to make a base at all..... It's completely optional
Yeah but I want to have one. Im just not wild about the process. The way I play games I have years of play between starfield, baldursgate, and cyberpunk
