Starfield 2026 Update Rumoured to Bring Quicker Space Flights, PS5 & Switch 2 Ports and More

Recent reports suggest Bethesda Game Studios privately demonstrated an update for Starfield, planned for 2026. The showcase reportedly included versions for the PlayStation 5 and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, along with enhancements to space flight mechanics and other improvements.

Ever since the start of 2025, everyone’s been wondering what’s next for Starfield. The devs have hinted at another DLC a bunch of times, but we still haven’t gotten any solid info. Plus, there’s been talk about a Switch 2 version and improvements to space flight, and the latest buzz seems to suggest those rumors might actually be true. I’m really hoping we find out more soon!

Starfield 2026 Update Reportedly Showcased Behind Closed Doors

Recent reports from WindowsCentral suggest that Bethesda recently showed off a major update for Starfield in private. According to these reports, the update focuses on making space travel smoother and more immersive by reducing loading screens and allowing for more seamless exploration. Bethesda has made substantial technical improvements to the game’s engine to achieve this, and plans to use these advancements in future titles as well.

Rumors suggest the 2026 Starfield update will finally bring the game to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo’s new Switch 2 console. Developers are reportedly working to make the game run well on handheld devices and other systems with limited power. However, there’s disagreement about how big this update will be – some believe it won’t be as substantial as the recent Cyberpunk 2.0 update, while others are more hopeful. It’s important to remember that this information hasn’t been confirmed by the game’s creators, so it should be viewed with skepticism.

Bethesda recently hinted at a potential ‘Terran Armada’ addition in a post celebrating a game anniversary. However, a PlayStation 5 version of the game isn’t expected to be announced this year. What do you think about the planned 2026 Starfield update, which promises faster space travel, as well as versions for the PS5 and the new Switch 2?
