Crimson Desert "on track to overtake Starfield's total lifetime copies sold by the end of the year," analyst says, as PS5 sales "not fantastic for a port of the biggest Bethesda RPG in a decade"

The player-character in Starfield looks upon a snowy mountain, with a distant planet and its rings visible in the sky.

Starfield, a previously PC and Xbox exclusive title, recently made its way onto PlayStation 5 – but the new, apparently "unplayable," port on Sony's console hasn't exactly impressed fans.

Bethesda Game Studios is aware of the issues, promising fixes this week, but it might not be enough to push Starfield on PS5 up to a very successful launch. Rhys Elliott, head of market analysis at Alinea Analytics, seems to think so anyway.
