Starfield comes to PS5 on the 7th of April, according to leakers

For the past year or so, we’ve been hearing an increasing number of leaks and rumours claiming that Bethesda Game Studio’s somewhat contentious Starfield would be leaving its Xbox console exclusivity behind with an impending arrival on PlayStation 5 (and possibly Switch 2). Though yet to be officially announced, known insiders have now offered what appears to be finalised details for Starfield’s PS5 launch, including its price and release date.

As reported by BillBil-Kun via dealabs (who has accurately reported on a bunch of PlayStation-related releases in the past), Starfield is set to land on PlayStation in just over a month’s time – launching on the 7th of April 2026.

The game will reportedly come in two forms – a Standard Edition costing £44.99 and a Premium Edition for £59.99, both of which will be offered in disc form. The contents of the Premium Edition is currently unknown, however Billbil confirmed that there is no advanced access planned for those with the Premium version.

While not included as part of the report, it is highly likely that Bethesda will launch Starfield's long-awaited 2.0 patch at or around the same time. The exact specifics surrounding this update remains somewhat vague, however Todd Howard himself has told fans to keep their expectations in check.

Starfield is easily one of the Bethesda Game Studios’ most controversial titles (Fallout 76 aside) and while the game has seen some improvements since its initial release back in 2023, it will be interesting to see how the game performs on PlayStation come its release next month.
