Bethesda’s epic space opera Starfield, a game which was once described as “one of the most important RPGs ever made”, could have released on PS5 already.
At least that’s according to well-connected Microsoft reporter Tom Warren, who was speaking as part of the Xbox Two Plus One podcast, where he implied original plans may have involved releasing the port alongside the game’s Shattered Space expansion.
The DLC launched late last year, on 30th September, to fairly unremarkable reviews – attracting an aggregate score of just 58 on Metacritic.

Warren continued: “They’ve been working on [the PS5 port of Starfield] for a while so it should be ready [later this year when the next expansion pack drops]. ‘Should’ be being the key word.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, Warren explained that Forza Horizon 5 was also planned to release on PS5 last year – as was widely reported – so it seems there was a slight change of strategy within Microsoft, and it decided to move these titles into 2025 instead.
