Microsoft is reportedly planning to release Starfield for PlayStation 5 in 2026, a significant move that could reshape the game’s audience and sales trajectory. Following the lukewarm reception of its first expansion, Shattered Space, which launched in September 2024, the decision to bring Starfield to PS5 appears to be a strategic response to the game’s performance on Xbox and PC. The anticipated PS5 version is expected to launch in spring 2026, coinciding with the release of the game’s second expansion and various quality-of-life updates.
