With Starfield being the first Bethesda IP in over 20 years, fans are desperately looking to get their hands on the game and may wonder if Starfield will be on PlayStation 5.
Coming from the studio that built the successful franchises of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, Starfield is arguably the most highly-anticipated game in the world ahead of its Sept. 6 release date.
Boasting over 1,000 planets to explore, numerous factions to align yourself with and a plethora of customization options, excitement for Starfield continues to rise with each passing day.
Those hype levels only increased after Starfield Direct on June 11, which gave us the most detailed look at the title we have seen so far in a 45-minute showcase on numerous aspects of the game.
Millions of fans are eagerly waiting to get their hands on the game, including those with a PlayStation 5.
Can you play Starfield on PlayStation?
No, Starfield is confirmed to be an Xbox exclusive, though will also be available on PC, and will not be playable on PlayStation.
In September 2020, Microsoft purchased Bethesda’s parent company, ZeniMax Media, for $7.5 million, handing Xbox exclusivity to the developer’s future titles, including Starfield and the next game in the Elder Scrolls franchise. Prior to this, Bethesda was a multi-platform developer.
Microsoft does not always restrict access to their titles after acquisitions, however, with Mojang’s Minecraft continuing to be available on a variety of platforms, while the company has promised Call of Duty would not be an exclusive title if their planned takeover of Activision Blizzard goes ahead.
The same will not happen for Starfield, however, meaning you’ll have to play on either Xbox or PC when the game releases on Sept. 6.
