Starfield is finally coming to PlayStation 5 next month, more than two years after it launched on Xbox.
Created by Bethesda Games, Starfield is an open-world action game that has you joining a group of intergalactic explorers on the hunt for rare artefacts. Boss Todd Howard has described it as “Skyrim in space”.
The game launched for Xbox and PC in September 2023 and after much speculation, it’s finally been confirmed that Starfield will be coming to the PlayStation 5 on April 7.

“This launch invites a whole new community of explorers to step into Bethesda Game Studio’s newest universe and chart a course through the stars. If you’ve long dreamed of captaining your own starship, Starfield’s launch on PlayStation 5 is your chance to discover the Settled Systems for yourself,” wrote Bethesda in a blog post. “Built around the freedom to be who you want and go where curiosity takes you, Starfield is a galaxy defined by choice. Every planet, every encounter and every decision is part of your story. From quiet moments of discovery to the thrill of forging your own path among the stars, the journey in Starfield is as personal as it is vast.”
The PlayStation version of Starfield will include every major update released over the past two years including the brand new ‘Free Lanes’ expansion, which will introduce new modes of transport, fresh encounters and weapon customisation options.

April 7 will also see the release of the paid ‘Terran Armada’ story DLC.
“A new threat has entered the Settled Systems. Believing themselves to be the ‘true; children of Earth, the Terran Armada is made up of members of the United Colonies and Freestar Collective who vanished during the Colony War. The Terrans are an advanced military force, largely comprised of robotic soldiers,” explains a press release. “When the Terrans first arrive their motivations are unclear, but the fate of the war against the Terran Armada will have consequences that ripple throughout the galaxy.”
In other news, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has hit back at Elon Musk’s “laughable” claims that AI could make Grand Theft Auto 6.
