Palworld having more players than Starfield isn't much of an achievement thought.
Starfield is getting beaten by such amazing titles as My Step-Mom is a Futanari Chemist.
No i did not make that up, that's an actual game.

Forget Starfield, Gmod has a 1:1 scale replica of the known universe in it now and has had a nearly limitless supply of furry content for almost 20 years now.
