Rumor: Starfield Could Be Coming to an Unexpected Platform

by

It is rumored that Bethesda’s space action-RPG, Starfield, which received mixed reviews when it was released on Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2021, might be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. Despite some criticisms, Microsoft appears unfazed and is reportedly considering releasing the game on additional platforms, as speculations about a PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 release persist.

There’s been a lot of chatter online this year about Starfield potentially arriving on PlayStation 5. Interestingly, discussions about a possible Nintendo Switch 2 version surface exactly a month after Bethesda hinted at future plans for Starfield. Although the studio didn’t explicitly reveal what they have planned, they did mention that they are working on exciting things for the RPG, which will be unveiled in the upcoming months. Following the lackluster Shattered Space DLC, fans are eagerly hoping for a second DLC in the future. However, with rumors suggesting that Starfield might be coming to Nintendo’s primary console instead, it’s possible that Bethesda is focusing on porting the game to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Starfield Reportedly Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026

Ever since its debut in June, the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 has been gathering popular AAA titles like “Cyberpunk 2077” and “Hogwarts Legacy”, and it seems that “Starfield” could join this lineup, according to trusted insider NateTheHate (via VGC). The leaker suggests that aside from being launched on PlayStation 5, “Starfield” is also expected to be available on Nintendo Switch 2 in the year 2026.

Fans of Xbox games have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Starfield on the PlayStation 5 ever since Microsoft shifted its strategy. Gossip about the port has swirled throughout the year, but the latest scoop suggests that the contentious RPG won’t land on Sony’s premier console until Spring 2026, much to the chagrin of those who haven’t gotten a taste yet as earlier reports had hinted at a release this year along with an additional DLC.

As a gamer, I’ve been eagerly waiting, just like many others, for any concrete news about Starfield. With whispers and rumors swirling around online, it seems we’re still in the dark about whether there’s any substance to these claims. Bethesda has hinted at “exciting things” coming our way, but this year, the absence of Starfield at major gaming events has left us all feeling a bit let down. Whether it’s another DLC, a PS5 version, a Switch 2 release, or even a combination, fans are yearning for Bethesda to give their latest RPG some much-needed love and attention.
