"Starfield's Declining Player Count: Navigating the Impact and Anticipation for 'Shattered Space' Expansion"

Despite a 97 percent drop in player base six months after its launch, Starfield's declining numbers shouldn't be cause for concern. As a single-player game, its main goal is to provide an immersive experience for players to enjoy and move on from, unlike live-service titles. The drop-off in players is expected as most would have completed the game by now, and similar trends have been seen with other successful single-player games like Elden Ring. It's time to stop judging single-player experiences by metrics meant for live-service games.
