Microsoft continues to release its Xbox games on the PlayStation 5 console, but one notable title still missing from this list is Bethesda`s Starfield. Those who hoped to play Starfield on PS5 this year will have to wait.
Nevertheless, according to new rumors, the situation might change next spring. MP1st reports that sources familiar with the plans indicate Starfield will not be released on PS5 in 2025. One reason cited is the less-than-stellar performance of its first expansion, “Shattered Space.” Microsoft is now reportedly targeting Spring 2026 for the PS5 version`s release, potentially coinciding with the game`s second expansion and a suite of quality-of-life improvements.
Although Starfield`s official announcement for PS5 is still pending, Microsoft`s recent strategy of releasing games across various platforms suggests it`s only a matter of time. The company has clearly articulated its intent to broaden its audience, making Starfield`s arrival on PS5 seem inevitable, even if the precise timing remains uncertain.
The next Xbox game coming to PS5 is Gears of War: Reloaded, scheduled for release on August 26. According to similar reports, other unconfirmed titles likely to follow include Gears of War: E-Day and State of Decay 3. While Starfield`s first expansion received mixed reviews, the base game generally earned favorable ratings. For instance, GameSpot praised its scale and engaging side quests but criticized its shallow RPG systems and overall polish.
