- The Starfield premium edition upgrade deal has now become the top-paid purchase on Xbox.
- The sudden burst in sales likely happened because Bethesda revealed new DLC details.
- The Shattered Space DLC will feature over 50 new locations, new enemies, and more.
The latest Bethesda AAA venture, Starfield, is showing prominent signs of a huge comeback. Despite many murmurs in the industry regarding its failure and low daily player count, the space-faring RPG has started seeing a huge spike in activity.
Many users in the industry are eyeing Starfield again since Bethesda has revealed many new details about its upcoming Shattered Space DLC. Following the recent reveals, its premium edition upgrade has become the current top-paid deal on Xbox.
Why it matters: The unexpected sales increase in the Starfield premium edition upgrade suggests that a large chunk of the community has still not given up on the RPG.
As spotted by Twitter user HazzadorGamin, many players are flocking to buy the premium edition upgrade on the Xbox store, pushing it to the top of Xbox’s paid items. They are preparing to get the best out of the RPG as the DLC release draws near.
Bethesda has recently confirmed that Shattered Space will feature over 50 new locations across Va’ruun’kai, new organic—and admittedly gross—grenades, new enemies, and much more. All these confirmations have only reignited the players’ interest in the game.
The current reception regarding the upcoming expansion is quite positive despite many users in the community patiently waiting for reviews instead of pre-ordering it ahead of time.
It’s worth noting that more Starfield players are expected to grab the premium edition upgrade as the DLC drops on September 30. So, we can also expect a massive boost in sales from users who did not buy the RPG before due to missing features and other criticisms.
While a No Man’s Sky level of comeback seems highly unlikely in this scenario, Starfield could see a huge resurgence if Bethesda plays its cards right after the Shattered Space DLC.
