What Do We Know About Starfield On PlayStation 5?
Reports of Starfield coming to PlayStation 5 come from a PPE leak, which allegedly gained access to the game distributor’s internal documentation.
According to this data, the game is planned for PlayStation 5 with a Starfield PS5 release date of April 7, 2026. This information is said to be present in internal distribution systems and has been supported by a screenshot shared by PPE.
However, it is worth exercising caution. Although PPE has a good reputation, and XboxEra has previously reported on plans to release Starfield on PS5, this Starfield PlayStation 5 leak should be treated as unofficial until Bethesda and Microsoft Gaming officially confirm it.
What Will The Starfield 2.0 Update Bring?
In addition to the PS5 version of Starfield, there is talk of a major Starfield 2.0 update, which has already been presented to the media.
The update is expected to be the biggest refresh of the game since its release and will include numerous system fixes, interface improvements, and gameplay optimizations.
In addition, it will introduce a number of new features to improve the space exploration experience, combat balance, and NPC interactions.
The developers are also reportedly focusing on improving the game’s performance on all platforms, with the PS5 version offering enhanced graphics, shorter loading times, and fuller use of the DualSense controller’s capabilities.
Terran Armada and Gameplay Changes
In addition to the above new features, the Starfield 2.0 update will introduce a second major story expansion titled “Terran Armada.” This expansion will advance the main story, introducing a new conflict between factions and difficult strategic choices.
According to leaks, this update will also bring new missions, spaceships, fleet management systems and trade and diplomacy mechanics, significantly expanding the Starfield universe.
Thanks to this, players can expect more complex gameplay and greater freedom to explore the galaxy.
