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.
