Did starfield become profitable? Did they cover their develop and marketing costs yet?

Starfield was a gamepass game, so it entered the vague subscription zone. Microsoft seemed happy with it.

Hard to say if has been profitable as it was in development for a long time. However it probably sold well on the account that people trusted Bethesda to make a Bethesda experience. They effectively traded their remaining good will for sales.
