Skyrim has sold more than 60 million copies, making it the seventh best-selling video game of all time.
Speaking during an IGN interview, Skyrim game director Todd Howard was asked about how many of Starfield 1,000 planets that game's main story might push players towards. In the course of his response - which focused on the idea that we'd see only a "small fraction" of the galaxy through that quest - Howard noted that "we're sitting here, it's 12 years after Skyrim, we're looking at a game that has over 60 million copies [sold]."
