It seems as though the long-awaited Starfield PS5 port will be released in Spring 2026, as opposed to later this year as was originally expected. Starfield released for PC and Xbox Series X/S in 2023 to mostly positive reviews. While Starfield enjoyed a great deal of initial success, the game hasn’t had the same longevity as other titles from Bethesda.
Starfield‘s player count has dwindled dramatically in the years since launch. The release of the Shattered Space expansion in 2024 did little to drum up all that much interest in the game, with many criticizing the DLC as being underwhelming. One way that Bethesda can inject new life into Starfield is by bringing the game to a new platform, like the PS5, but it seems that won’t happen until 2026 at the earliest, if the latest leaked information is to be believed.

Bethesda Teases ‘Exciting Things’ on the Way for Starfield
The developers of Starfield are teasing new content and future additions for the space RPG as fans express concern over the title’s future.
A new report by MP1st claims that Starfield will be releasing for the PS5 in Spring 2026 alongside its next expansion “and other quality-of-life updates.” Starfield has been rumored for the PS5 since Xbox started bringing its games to the competing platform, but nothing concrete has ever materialized. Those hoping to get a Starfield PS5 port announcement at Gamescom 2025 should also be sure to keep their expectations in check, as MP1st is not expecting the project to be revealed at the show or shadowdropped like Oblivion Remastered.
Starfield Rumored for PS5 in Spring 2026
After Starfield‘s Shattered Space expansion failed to live up to expectations, it really would be no surprise if Bethesda is taking extra time on the next DLC and the PS5 version of the game. Starfield‘s PS5 debut gives the game a second chance at a first impression, and could potentially revive interest in the open world sci-fi RPG.
Even though it has yet to be officially announced, a Starfield PS5 port is a given. Xbox is bringing its major games to PlayStation, with Gears of War: Reloaded set to launch for PS5 on August 26. It has also already brought Bethesda-published games to PS5, like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, so it wouldn’t make much sense to withhold Starfield at this point. There are likely millions of PS5 owners that are fans of Bethesda’s games that would jump at the opportunity to play Starfield for themselves, though it is somewhat surprising that they will apparently have to wait until 2026. Whenever Starfield comes to PS5, it will definitely be interesting to see how it is received.
