Starfield to finally come to PS5 in 2026

While Microsoft has brought many of its recent exclusives to PS5 there is one big game missing – Starfield. Bethesda's latest RPG released just months before Microsoft pivoted from exclusives to multiplatform game development. Many expected Starfield to hit PS5 sometime this year, in lieu of a new expansion, but new reports suggest 2026 will be the year. 

According to sources speaking with MP1st, a site that has been very active in the leaker scene in recent months, Bethesda is now targeting a 2026 release for Starfield on PS5. The game is expected to drop on Sony's platform in Q2 next year, which runs from April through to the end of June.

Apparently, the game was going to come to PS5 this year but was pushed back a bit due to ‘weak' sales of the first Starfield expansion, Shattered Space.

It sounds like Starfield will be getting a major overhaul alongside the PS5 release. Bethesda head, Todd Howard, stated a few months ago that exciting work on Starfield is still on-going but no new content or major overhauls have been officially announced.

KitGuru Says: Starfield in its current state isn't a particularly exciting product, but a true Starfield 2.0 would be a big deal for the game on all platforms.
