Starfield could be announced for PS5 this week
Will the last big Xbox exclusive come to Sony's console?
đ Bethesda has teased some new Starfield news that could be coming very soon
đ€ In response to a post from PC Gamer on X, the developer confirmed some news would be coming âthis weekâ
đź Itâs unclear what the news is, but it could be about Starfieldâs potential release date on PS5 in just a couple of weeks
đ§âđ Likewise, it could be an update to the existing game, after Todd Howard confirmed there would be updates to Starfield in 2026
Bethesda has teased some news about Starfield âthis weekâ in a surprising move.
This comes as Starfieldâs composer Inon Zur described Todd Howard as a âvisionaryâ and said that âpeople were not just ready forâ the space adventure title when it first released in 2023, which was picked up by outlet PC Gamer.
On March 13, the official Bethesda account responded to a post from PC Gamer on X, stating that âWe ran this by Todd [Howard], and he said his only visionary power is seeing running lanes in EA College Football 26. He appreciates all the passionate feedback on Starfield and weâll have more to share next weekâ
Itâs not entirely clear what this teaser represents, especially as it comes in such an unorthodox fashion from the developer.
The potential for news ties into the rumored PS5 release date for Starfield on April 7 on PS5, along with pre-orders expected on March 18, or Wednesday.
To add fuel to this rumor, leaker Billbil-kun responded to Bethesdaâs post on X, stating that Starfield landing on PS5 was ânearly confirmedâ and will be announced this week alongside âprobably some other newsâ that the leaker hasnât been privy to.
In an interview that Howard did with Kinda Funny earlier this year, he stated that there may be a lot of âupdates and things that change the game, not in an isolated way, but sort of meta, using outer space and things in ways that we havenât", with regards to Starfield.
Starfield is the last major Xbox exclusive to remain on Microsoftâs consoles, with a PS5 release taking longer than many expected.
