Starfield, a game mainly about space travel/exploration, couldn’t convince a chunk of its players to leave the surface of the tutorial planet.

Starfield has been out for long enough now that anyone interested in playing it likely already has. But just how many of the game’s millions of players stopped playing before finishing the first mission?

Well, according to achievement stats from TrueAchievements, around 25%! The For All, Into the Starfield achievement is awarded the first time you go to space, which happens maybe 30 minutes into the game. After a brief tutorial and some combat, you meet one of the game’s major NPCs, and he gives you his ship.

As soon as you leave the surface of the planet and take to space, the achievement should unlock. According to the numbers, however, 75% of players did that, which seems a little low considering how early into the game that happens, and how practically unavoidable the achievement is.

    What hardware are you running on? Pure vanilla and I’ve gotten a stable 100fps since release with everything on Ultra at 1440p.

      Look at this guy with his dual 7900 XTX over here

      I got a 7800x3d and 6950 xt. I played with performance boosting mods on medium settings

      I kept dropping to 40fps on 1440p and ended up refunding

        Damn, our hardware is so similar. I’m running a (single) 7900 XT and a 7600X. I’m also running on an nvme ssd, but presumably with your hardware you are too.

        I wasn’t trying to be an ass with my question about your specs, it’s just that my hardware isn’t particularly high end, so I was confused at why so many people are having performance issues.

          Your hardware is quite high end actually. It’s not a 7900 xtx or 4090, but it’s close. (Yes, I have a 980 pro 2tb)

          I wonder why you run it that much smoother than I do then

          1440p isn’t that high. You’re thinking about 4k.

          And, as I said. It’s not running smooth. It’s barely running at all. It keeps dropping as low as 40fps
