43 The Bethesda Bots are coping with 'muh gamepass', but in reality Starfield appears to be a complete flop. BG3's "honeymoon" phase lasted for 15 days where it kept its player count. Starfield's playercount collapsed after only 2.

BG3 had identical playercounts two weeks after launch.
BG3: 814K Aug 5th, 875K Aug 13th, 813K Aug 19.
Starfailed: 330K Sep 10th, 260K Sep 17th, 187K Sep 24th, and it'll be sub-100K this weekend.
You're just comparing peak number of the entire week. That's fine, but I don't think it's representative of the whole thing, because it means anything big happening on said week end will impact your number greatly.
