Starfield PS5 Version Rumored for April 2026 with Major 2.0 Update
Bethesda Game Studios has signaled that it will reveal new content for Starfield next week, according to a brief teaser posted on the developer’s official social media accounts. The announcement comes in response to ongoing community discussions about the space-themed role-playing game and includes a humorous reference to Bethesda director Todd Howard. While the teaser didn’t specify what exactly will be revealed, the timing coincides with growing speculation that Bethesda may be preparing to bring Starfield to PlayStation 5 in the near future. The game originally launched on September 6, 2023, for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC platforms, and has attracted over 15 million players across all platforms since its release.
According to leaked information from Dealabs, a PlayStation 5 version of Starfield is reportedly scheduled for an April 7, 2026, physical release. The leak suggests the PS5 version will offer both standard and premium editions, with a structure similar to the Xbox versions. However, the premium edition for PlayStation 5 is said to not include early access privileges. The leaked pricing information indicates the European standard edition would cost 49.99 euros or 44.99 pounds, while the premium edition would be priced at 69.99 euros or 59.99 pounds. These prices represent a significant reduction compared to the original Xbox launch pricing, with discounts reportedly reaching up to 40 euros.
Industry sources have indicated that the rumored PS5 version release may coincide with a major update to the game. This update, reportedly version 2.0, is expected to introduce a series of significant technical improvements alongside the launch of the game’s second story expansion content. The timing suggests Bethesda may be planning a substantial relaunch of Starfield on additional platforms while enhancing the overall experience for existing players. The combination of platform expansion and major content updates could represent a significant moment for the game’s ongoing development and player engagement.
Bethesda’s social media post acknowledged positive player feedback with a lighthearted tone, quoting Todd Howard’s humorous comment about his “foresight” being limited to seeing player routes in EA Sports College Football 26. The studio thanked fans for their enthusiastic response to Starfield and confirmed more information would be shared next week. With rumors of both a PlayStation 5 port and a substantial 2.0 update circulating, the upcoming announcement has generated considerable anticipation within the gaming community. If the leaks prove accurate, Starfield’s expansion to PlayStation 5 could significantly broaden its player base while the 2.0 update addresses technical aspects that have been discussed since the game’s initial launch.
