Speculation that Starfield will soon be confirmed for release on PlayStation 5 intensified over the weekend after eagle-eyed fans spotted a PlayStation logo on Bethesda’s official Creations website. The logo was attached to a work-in-progress ship decals Creation for Starfield. Although the Creation was swiftly removed, the brief appearance has fueled speculation that Bethesda’s currently PC and Xbox-only sci-fi epic is on the verge of coming to PS5.

The discovery has led to speculation about whether Bethesda is planning a significant content update, possibly even a new expansion, to coincide with Starfield's seemingly inevitable PS5 release. There's been little excitement surrounding Starfield in recent months, especially after the lukewarm reception to the Shattered Space expansion. Microsoft, Bethesda's parent company, is expected to host another summer showcase this year, which could be the perfect opportunity to reveal more about Starfield's future.
Bethesda has teased "exciting things" planned for Starfield in 2024, amid growing discontent from players over a lack of communication and updates. In June 2024, Bethesda reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Starfield and confirmed that at least one more story expansion would follow Shattered Space. In an interview with YouTube channel MrMattyPlays, Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard stated that the studio aims to release an annual story expansion for “hopefully a very long time.”

Starfield, 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, launched in September 2023. IGN's review of Starfield awarded it a 7/10, noting that “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 chief, Phil Spencer, did not rule out the possibility of Starfield coming to PS5. Reports from as early as March 2024 suggested that both Starfield and MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle were being considered for PS5. While Indiana Jones was confirmed for PS5 with a spring 2025 release window, shortly after its launch on PC and Xbox Series X and S, Starfield remains unconfirmed for PS5, though Spencer’s comments have kept the possibility 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 games on PlayStation consoles, among other platforms, and is set to release Doom: The Dark Ages and Ninja Gaiden 4 on PS5 later this year. Playground’s Forza Horizon 5 is also slated to come to PS5 soon. There are even rumors that Microsoft might finally bring Halo to PlayStation, ending decades of Xbox exclusivity.

Spencer has explained that Xbox’s multiplatform strategy is partly driven by the need to generate more revenue for Microsoft’s gaming division, especially after its massive $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the creators of Call of Duty.
“We run a business,” Spencer said in August last year. “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. Because we get a level of support from the company that’s just amazing and what we’re able to go do.
“So I look at this, how can we make our games as strong as possible? Our platform continues to grow, on console, on PC, and on cloud. It’s just going to be a strategy that works for us.”
It's a bustling period for Bethesda Game Studios, which now consists of 450 employees spread across five teams working on Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 76, mobile projects, and external development partnerships.
