A new report has claimed that long-awaited PlayStation 5 version of Starfield will be releasing in April 2026.
That’s according to a new report from PPE, which obtained internal documentation from a video game distributor revealing that Starfield is scheduled to launch on the PlayStation 5 on April 7, 2026.
While not confirmed in the report, it’s likely that the PlayStation 5 release will be a part of the long-awaited ‘Starfield 2.0’ update, which was shown to the press a few months ago.
It’s worth mentioning that PPE has had a good track record of leaking information related to physical game releases, however yesterday’s Take-Two Interactive call debunked their claims that GTA 6 would avoid physical game releases on launch.
That being said, PPE did provide a screenshot of what appears to be an internal system, showing that Starfield is going to release on April 7.
It isn’t quite clear what the update will bring, but according to rumours, Starfield’s massive update is set to deliver a major overhaul to the game, in addition to its second major expansion, ‘Terran Armada‘.
It’s currently unclear whether the rumoured Switch 2 version of the game will also release at the same time. XboxEra was the first to report on a planned Starfield version for the PlayStation 5 in February 2024.

Who cares ? It’s such a bad game anyways , youre not missing anything
The game that Sony users cried for so much can finally play the failure for themselves 😂
Played it on Xbox and enjoyed it shame that the Xbox was shit so I got rid and went back to a ps5 . So I’m looking forward to playing it on ps5.
Personally, I can’t wait to jump back into this game… Very excited if true!
This game is duller then eating cow ass
Why are they still trying lmao. The game is so boring and lifeless that even modders gave up on it.
And you know it’s bad when modders can’t be bothered to fix Bethesda’s games for them like they’ve been doing for the last 15 years
I don’t understand where the negativity for Starfield is coming from. It is not a masterpiece but it is still one of the best AAA single player games we got this gen. It is not like this gen has had many stellar AAA single player games, it has mostly been indies and the usual multiplayer live service fare. Starfield is worse than Skyrim and Fallout 4 but it is still a good 8/10 game and could be made better eventually but all this negativity makes Bethesda not want to try.
