Leaked News on Starfield's Potential Multi-Platform Expansion Dampens Anticipation

It's been two years since Starfield launched and one year since its first DLC, Shattered Space, was released. Bethesda's space RPG has received numerous updates to improve player ships following mixed feedback. Development had slowed until last month, when the studio began teasing its second major DLC, potentially titled Terran Armada. During this period, a segment of players eagerly anticipated a significant announcement regarding multi-platform availability, but a recent leak has reportedly tempered excitement for Starfield's potential platform expansion.

Expanding Horizons for Starfield? Delay in PS5 Port Announcement Suggests 2026 Release on Multiple Platforms

While Bethesda remains occupied with The Elder Scrolls 6, work continues on Starfield, including the upcoming second major DLC. Rumors have consistently suggested that Starfield may soon expand beyond its Xbox Series X exclusivity to other platforms, following a trend seen with games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, Forza Horizon 5, Sea of Thieves, and Gears of War Reloaded on PS5. Last August, insider NateTheHate indicated that Starfield might arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 around 2026. At the time, speculation was strong that a PS5 release, or at least an announcement, would occur earlier, possibly in late 2025 or even this year. However, NateTheHate recently posted on X that the PS5 port announcement might not happen until 2026. This updated information points to a delay for Starfield's anticipated next platform arrival. The Shattered Space and Terran Armada DLCs, however, are reportedly still planned.

Delay in Starfield's PS5 Announcement Hints at Multi-Platform Release & Awaiting Bethesda Confirmation

An earlier leak had suggested that Bethesda's newest game would launch on Sony's console this spring, coinciding with its second major DLC. However, NateTheHate's latest update contradicts this prior speculation, indicating a later timeline for the PS5 announcement. For now, players await an official statement from Bethesda regarding Starfield's future platform availability.
