- Starfield maybe finally coming to PS5
- A leaker claims the game will launch on April 7, 2026
- It is claimed that there will be standard and premium editions
A new leak suggests Bethesda’s Starfield may finally have a PlayStation 5 release date after long-running rumors.
That’s according to reliable gaming industry leaker ‘Billbil-kun’ from French outlet Dealabs, who reports that the Xbox-exclusive space role-playing game (RPG) will officially launch on April 7, 2026 for the PS5.
They claim that Starfield will be available in both standard and premium editions, but could not provide details on what they will include. They are said to cost £44.99/€49.99 and £59.99/€69.99 respectively.
They also noted that the PS5 version would not offer an early access period for pre-orders, unlike the original Xbox and PC editions.
No further details were provided by their source, who the leaker stresses “hasn’t always been reliable in the past”, but hinted that Microsoft plans to release pre-orders between March 17th and March 18th, which is just weeks away.
“It remains to be seen whether this timeframe will coincide with the official announcement of the game’s release on PS5,” they said.
Starfield launched in 2023 and later received several updates alongside The broken room enlargement. The second major expansion is also rumored to be coming this year and will be the title Starborn.
The PS5 version has long been rumored, as well as a Nintendo Switch 2 edition. That wouldn’t be surprising given Microsoft’s ongoing multiplatform push and the fact that former Xbox boss Phil Spencer didn’t rule out the idea of Starfield came to PlayStation when asked last year.
It’s also claimed that the game will receive a major update this year alongside the PS5 version, which will add improvements to spaceflight loading screens and the Creation Engine.
