That is a lot!
Well done.

Wow that is quite significant

WOW!!!

I was actually wondering why there have been so many PC complaints but just the sheer volume of PC users will definitely lead to this.

It's got crafting elements...

Holy smoke Batman, it's no wonder the servers gave up and died lol

12K more to reach 200 K, everyone go play now!!!

Yes!
WE Made it!
200 000 pc gamers playing Skyrim, that got to be steam record!

Congratulations Bethesda on a victorious launch of a one of a kind gaming experiance which none can come close to even imitating. We are truly fortunate to have a game company who really cares about their product putting their whole hearts and lives into the process of creating something so unique keeping players playing for years and years and possibly a life time.

Picked up my pre-order this morning at an almost empty GameStop. No waiting just in and out so i definitely lucked out there. Once i got home installation went perfect with no problems. Starting up SKYRIM i was happy the auto adjust settings were set to high as i saw amazing silky smooth framerates and swift as air combat movements. The UI setup is perfect and i love how am always shown what keys to press to do a certain action when interacting with the world which has kept me from ever needing to read the manual during gameplay. Character creation is very detailed with excellent new features like tattoos and plenty of creepy eyes.

I cant believe how much there is to interact with in the environment. Its like every step i take i see something i can inspect and have fun with or be creeped out by.

Ooo and the blood so deep red rich and thick. Heinz Ketchup couldnt do any better


Hail Bethesda! Giving us worlds to live another life where anything is possible!

Wow, that's remarkable.

Remember that statistic only shows people who are playing with an online connection as well - it doesn't/cannot take into account those who choose to play offline.

Congrats Bethesda

Not to take away Bethesda's thunder, but it IS a new release after all, I was wondering if we could get a comparison for other newly released games? Don't get me wrong, these are truly impressive numbers indeed, and I'm in no way casting any stones, I just need a basis of comparison so I can fully rejoice.

Those are incredible numbers.

I like how it is like 3x the MW3 players lol

Great to see so many people playing. What makes me even happier is the success of Skyrim bodes well for future single player sandbox games and of course now there will definately be TES 6 if there was any doubt at all. Also it's up to 220 now

@TakezoDunmer2005 - the highest previous I believe was Portal 2 earlier this year which I think was around 102,000 or therabouts

Current number for Skyrim standing at 231,417 - thats just crazy numbers..... wow
