Speculation that Starfield will soon be confirmed for release on PlayStation 5 intensified over the weekend after fans noticed a PlayStation logo on Bethesda's official Creations website. The logo was linked to a work-in-progress ship decals Creation for Starfield, which was subsequently removed. Despite its removal, fans are buzzing with excitement, suggesting that Bethesda's sci-fi title, previously exclusive to PC and Xbox, might be heading to the PS5.

This development has sparked discussions about whether Bethesda plans a significant content update or perhaps a new expansion to coincide with Starfield's potential PS5 release. The game has been relatively quiet since the launch of the less-than-stellar Shattered Space expansion. With Microsoft, Bethesda's parent company, expected to host a summer showcase this year, this event could be the perfect opportunity to unveil more about Starfield.
Bethesda has hinted at "exciting things" planned for Starfield this year, amidst growing discontent from players over communication and updates. In June 2024, Bethesda reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Starfield, promising at least one more story expansion post-Shattered Space. In an interview with YouTube channel MrMattyPlays, Bethesda Game Studios' Todd Howard expressed their goal to release an annual story expansion for "hopefully a very long time."

Starfield launched in September 2023 as Bethesda's first new intellectual property in years and its first mainline single-player game since Microsoft's acquisition of parent company ZeniMax Media in March 2021. IGN's review of Starfield scored it a 7/10, stating: "Starfield has a lot of forces working against it, but eventually the allure of its expansive roleplaying quests and respectable combat make its gravitational pull difficult to resist."
In January, Microsoft's gaming boss Phil Spencer hinted at the possibility of Starfield coming to PS5. Reports from March 2024 suggested that both Starfield and MachineGames' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle were being considered for PS5. While Indiana Jones has been confirmed for a PS5 release in spring 2025, Starfield remains unconfirmed, though Spencer's comments have kept the speculation alive.
Several Xbox games are already available on PS5, including Rare's Sea of Thieves, Tango Gameworks' Hi-Fi Rush, and Obsidian's Grounded and Pentiment. Microsoft also publishes Minecraft on PlayStation consoles and plans to release Doom: The Dark Ages and Ninja Gaiden 4 on PS5 later this year. Additionally, Playground's Forza Horizon 5 is set to come to PS5 soon. There are even rumors that Microsoft might finally bring Halo to PlayStation after decades of exclusivity.

Phil Spencer has explained that Xbox's multiplatform strategy is partly driven by the need to increase revenue for Microsoft's gaming division, especially following the massive $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Spencer emphasized the high expectations within Microsoft for the gaming division to deliver, stating, "We run a business... It's definitely true inside of Microsoft the bar is high for us in terms of the delivery we have to give back to the company."
Bethesda Game Studios, with its 450-person team, is currently juggling multiple projects, including Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 76, mobile games, and external development partnerships. This busy schedule underscores the studio's commitment to delivering quality content across various platforms.
