On Steam, the game holds an average of 57% positive reviews, while its aggregate score on OpenCritic is approximately 70 out of 100. Recently, Starfield has re-entered the spotlight due to its appearance in Instant Gaming’s catalog. The site listed the game for the Nintendo Switch 2, with a tentative release year of 2026.

Beyond the Nintendo Switch 2, discussions have also emerged over recent months regarding a potential PlayStation 5 release for Starfield. A report from early August suggested a spring 2026 release date for this version. Such a move could significantly expand the game’s audience and offer Bethesda an opportunity to re-engage with players and further establish the title. Concurrently, Bethesda is developing additional content for Starfield. The first expansion, Shattered Space, is scheduled for release in late 2024 and will introduce new content centered on the House Va’ruun faction. Critics have noted repetitive gameplay and a weak narrative in the base game when discussing initial details of the expansion, but the studio remains committed to ongoing support. A second expansion is already in development, with speculation suggesting it might launch concurrently with a potential PlayStation 5 version. Bethesda’s continued development and exploration of new platforms highlight its commitment to evolving Starfield for a wider audience.
