Remember those rumors of Bethesda’s Starfield potentially coming to PS5, particularly one teasing an announcement last February? With all the first-party Xbox titles coming to other platforms, it’s interesting that the space-faring RPG hasn’t received any mentions.
However, it seems there were plans for the PS5 port to drop when the first expansion, Shattered Space, launched last year. The Verge’s Tom Warren alleged on The Xbox Two podcast, “They were originally going to do it with that expansion, and then I don’t know what happened there.”
The port has allegedly been in the works for “a while” and should be ready. Its situation may be similar to Forza Horizon 5, which was supposed to launch last year for PS5 (and instead arrives on April 29th). As always, time will tell – for all we know, Starfield’s port could drop in time for the next rumored expansion, Starborn. Perhaps we’ll hear about its rumored Switch 2 port soon as well.
Starfield is available for Xbox Series X/S and PC. Despite critical praise at launch and crossing 15 million players last November, it’s received a mixed response from fans. Bethesda said it has a “lot of exciting things planned” for the year, though it couldn’t provide any specifics, so stay tuned for updates.
