Starfield PS5 Port Announcement Coming Soon: What to Expect!

by

Summary

  • Starfield is still slated to launch on PS5 this year, as per a well-known insider.
  • The reveal-to-release timeline of Starfield’s PS5 port will reportedly be “minimal.”
  • Bethesda may show up at the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase to announce Starfield’s PS5 port alongside the game’s next big DLC.

A reliable source has offered some positive news about the anticipated PlayStation 5 release of Starfield. Given that Microsoft has moved several in-house games to the PS5 this year, there’s a possibility that Starfield, an Xbox title, might soon be revealed as playable on Sony’s platform.

Back in September 2023, Bethesda Game Studios unveiled their fresh IP titled Starfield, marking the studio’s first new venture since 1997. The game debuted on Xbox Series X/S and PC but had a somewhat bumpy start. While critical reviews were generally favorable, there was some criticism leveled at the storyline, exploration mechanics, and pace of the game.

However, Bethesda remained steadfast in their commitment to refining Starfield. They’ve been consistently updating the game based on fan feedback – a 60fps mode on consoles being one such example. Additionally, they’ve added post-launch content like the 2024 DLC called Shattered Space, which has kept players hooked and eager for more. As a fan, I’m excited to see how this game continues to evolve!

Since Xbox started releasing games on multiple platforms, there’s been a lot of anticipation among PS5 users for the game Starfield. Last year, whispers about a possible PS5 port of Starfield began, and it seems that its launch might not be too distant anymore. On Twitter, a reliable industry source known as NateTheHate has hinted that Bethesda is indeed going to make an official announcement regarding the PS5 port of Starfield this year. He also mentioned in another tweet that the time between the announcement and release of Starfield on PS5 will be short, which implies that the science fiction RPG could appear on the console before 2025 ends.

Starfield’s Next Big Expansion May Herald its PS5 Launch

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel validated when NateTheHate’s recent statements align with what Tom Warren, an industry insider, predicted a few months back – the speculated simultaneous release of Starfield on PS5 alongside its major expansion in late 2025. Adding fuel to the fire is the discovery of a PS5 logo within Bethesda’s Starfield Creation Kit earlier this year, suggesting that the groundwork for this port is already well in progress. Although Bethesda hasn’t officially confirmed a PS5 version of Starfield, the growing body of evidence and insider reports suggest that it’s only a matter of time before we hear the official word.

Currently, it’s expected that the announcement for the PlayStation 5 port of Starfield will likely occur during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8th. This event could also see the unveiling of Starfield’s next significant expansion pack. Since Microsoft has promised to display logos for multiplatform Xbox games during their live streams, it’s possible that a “coming to PlayStation 5” message might be included at the end of the DLC trailer. As for when Starfield will release on PlayStation 5, it could be after Gears of War: Reloaded launches on Sony’s console on August 26th – potentially sometime between mid-September and the end of the quarter to boost their financial performance.
