- Bethesda will release Starfield on PlayStation 5 in spring 2026 alongside a second expansion and quality-of-life updates.
- This delayed PS5 release follows poor sales and negative feedback for Starfield's first expansion, Shattered Space, launched in September 2024.
- Released in September 2023, Starfield marked Bethesda's first original intellectual property in a quarter-century but received mixed reviews for failing to capture the same level of player engagement as the studio's previous Fallout and Elder Scrolls titles.
