Starfield Shattered Space promised to usher in a new phase for Bethesda's beleaguered space RPG. It was to be a moment to reflect on everything the developer had learned since launch, showing real improvement in areas fans were unhappy about. For a while it looked like the dream was coming true as Starfield's player count shot back up - not to the highs it launched to, but nearly enough to threaten Skyrim's numbers. That threat has now ended, as Starfield's player count on Steam has gone spiraling back down to Earth.
