No, Starfield won’t be released on PS5 or any other console other than Xbox and PC.
Historically, Bethesda RPGs have been available on both Xbox and PlayStation. Titles like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls shine brightest on PC, with significant modding possibilities. Starfield gamers will spend years unpacking the game's various features and questlines. As a result, it's shaping up to be one of the year's most significant releases. There is a great desire to see Starfield on the dashboards of PS5 gamers.
What is Starfield?
The award-winning makers of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4 introduce Starfield, their first new world in almost 25 years. In this next-generation role-playing game set among the stars, you may create any character you like and explore with unequalled freedom as you embark on an epic adventure to answer humanity's greatest mystery. Humanity departed our solar system in 2330, building new worlds and living as a spacefaring species. In Bethesda Game Studios' most big and ambitious game, you will travel the vast expanse of space with Constellation, the last team of space explorers seeking rare artefacts around the cosmos.
Will Starfield come to PS5?
Starfield on PS5 or PS4 is no longer an option. The game's future may have been clearer despite how things played out soon after purchase. Even PlayStation boss Jim Ryan seemed unsure, saying that Starfield being on PS4 or PS5 was "a decision that is out of our hands; we’ll wait and see what happens".
Bethesda's Pete Hines was quoted as saying, "There are Xbox brands on other platforms. Minecraft continued existing on something when Mojang got bought by Microsoft. It's not a 'sorry you're never going to get to play anything on PlayStation again.” Many suggested that Starfield still has a chance on PlayStation. However, Xbox marketing general manager Aaron Greenberg quickly shut that talk down, stating that "Starfield will be launching exclusively on Xbox Series X, S and PC.”
While many PS4 and PS5 owners still hope for a hint, it may be a timed exclusive. Xbox is straightforward. That is never going to happen. Todd Howard even talked about how limiting the platform would make a better game, stating, "You don’t ever want to leave people out, but at the end of the day, your ability to focus and say, 'this is the game I want to make, these are the platforms I want to make it on', and being able to lean in on those is going to make for a better product.”
