This is like any game ever. There is always a percentage of players who don’t seem to play the games they buy regardless of how new the game is.
Game pass makes it easy to throw games away if you don’t like them in 5 minutes, and starfield has the worst intro to any Bethesda game I’ve played, from morrowind and forward.
I would guess also a lot of XBOX players download the game on gamepass, and then never open it - since the there isn’t any achievement unlocked prior to the one you get for reaching space, I wonder if there is any other way to tell.
Mods on PC also disable achievements, so it’s possible that a fair few space adventurers are missing the achievement
Probably that, and people just checking it in game pass. About the other achievements, It’s funny that in Bethesda games people keep ignoring the main quest so much.
There’s literally mods that enable achievements, which are also some of the most downloaded mods.
I have one of those mods because I was stuck early on. My save does not show modified, but I stopped receiving achievements. No biggie, but it would skew the percentages for sure.
They can’t do it retroactively afaik. You have to use the achievement enabler before getting flagged.
There’s not much to do on the beginning asteroid, though. If you want to do any of the side quests without the main quest, or no quests and base build, you still need to leave the starting asteroid via spaceship.
I’m probably contributing to this. Pirated it during the early access period on PC, played a decent amount, then on release installed the Gamepass version and used a tool to convert my save to the format the Windows Store version uses. Occasionally play that save on an Xbox as well so I was well past the point the achievement should have popped. Guess I’ll get it if I ever do another character (or if it pops on ng+?)
There was some issue with the achievements for those of us who played the early launch. I’m playing the Steam version, but it thinks I never went to space or joined Constellation despite me having them for things like quests and killing 300 creatures.

No joke, I played at launch and I look off in a ship the first time, and I got an achievement: “Rare achievement earned: flew in a spaceship. 0.3% of players unlocked this”. I thought I had spent too long in character creation but I guess I spent less than most?
People deciding RPGs aren’t for them I’d assume.
