A new development has raised the question of whether Starfield, a long-rumored and eagerly anticipated game in the gaming world, will be released for PlayStation 5. Starfield, a space-themed role-playing game developed by Bethesda, was originally released exclusively for Xbox and PC in 2023.

Starfield is Coming to PlayStation 5

Despite the passage of time, no official announcement has been made regarding a PlayStation 5 version of the game. However, recent leaks from reliable sources point to the release date of the game for PS5 players, suggesting that the wait will be longer.

According to leaker NatetheHate, Starfield’s PlayStation 5 announcement will not take place this year, but will instead be postponed until 2026. This reliable source, who previously accurately predicted the Nintendo Switch 2’s release date, indicates that plans for a PS5 version of the game have been on Bethesda’s radar for a long time.

However, Bethesda aims to make this important announcement simultaneously with the release of the game’s second major expansion. This expansion is expected to add brand new space mechanics and additional gameplay systems to the game.

If a PS5 version of Starfield is announced in 2026, it would likely offer a more enhanced experience with new content. While Bethesda has released numerous updates since the game’s initial release, the “Shattered Space” expansion and free patches have not fully addressed some of the game’s core issues, which were criticized at launch.

Therefore, the PlayStation 5 launch delay could mean an opportunity for players to experience a more mature and established version of the game.
