Ex-Xbox System Seller Starfield Edges Ever Closer to PS5 1

Prior to the release of Starfield, Xbox bigwig Sarah Bond described the game as “one of the most important RPGs ever made”.

The latest from Bethesda would go on to receive a lukewarm reception, but hype for it ahead of launch was out of this world. There were rumours that Sony had been trying to sign the title as a timed exclusive, which prompted the Team in Green to push the nuclear button, and buy out the entire publisher.

Whatever the case, it looks like a PS5 port of the game is imminent. With much of Xbox’s catalogue making its way to Sony’s system, this won’t come as a huge surprise, but YouTuber 510deshawn discovered a mod available for the game with a PlayStation symbol.

This information reached Reddit, before the creation was removed from the game’s official website. This definitely existed, then – there are screenshots to prove it – but may have been published publicly too early. We’re guessing the mod was created by a developer or beta tester.

Rumours of Starfield coming to PS5 aren’t new, but this is the first tangible proof we have of the port being in development. With the sheer glut of Xbox games planned for Sony’s system this year, we wouldn’t expect this to release until later in the year, perhaps alongside a major expansion or update for the game.

The question is: are you still interested in the sci-fi adventure? With the initial hype gone and the word of mouth tame at best, it feels like the world has moved on from this underwhelming Bethesda game.
