Starfield Creation PS5 Release Hinted by PlayStation Logo

Speculation that Starfield will soon be confirmed for release on PlayStation 5 intensified over the weekend after eagle-eyed fans noticed a PlayStation logo on Bethesda's official Creations website. The logo appeared on a work-in-progress ship decals Creation for Starfield, which was subsequently removed. This has led to rampant speculation that Bethesda's sci-fi game, previously exclusive to PC and Xbox, could be making its way to PS5 soon.

The discovery has fueled discussions about whether Bethesda is planning a significant content update or even a new expansion to coincide with Starfield's potential release on PS5. Following the launch of the underwhelming Shattered Space expansion, there has been a noticeable silence from Bethesda regarding Starfield. However, Bethesda's parent company, Microsoft, is set to hold a summer showcase this year, which could be the perfect platform to reveal more about Starfield's future.

Bethesda has teased "exciting things" planned for Starfield this year amidst growing player discontent over a lack of communication and updates. In June 2024, Bethesda reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Starfield and announced at least one more story expansion following Shattered Space. In an interview with the YouTube channel MrMattyPlays, Bethesda Game Studios' Todd Howard stated that the developer aims to release an annual story expansion for "hopefully a very long time."

Starfield launched in September 2023, marking Bethesda's first new intellectual property in years and its first mainline single-player game since Microsoft's acquisition of parent company ZeniMax Media in March 2021. IGN's review of Starfield awarded it a 7/10, praising its expansive roleplaying quests and solid combat, despite the challenges it faced.

In January, Microsoft's gaming boss Phil Spencer hinted at the possibility of Starfield coming to PS5, refusing to rule it out. Reports from March 2024 suggested that both Starfield and MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle were being considered for PS5. While Indiana Jones was confirmed for PS5 with a spring 2025 release window, Starfield remains unconfirmed, though Spencer's comments have kept the speculation alive.

Several Xbox games are already available on PS5, including Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, and Pentiment. Microsoft also publishes Minecraft on PlayStation consoles and plans to release Doom: The Dark Ages and Ninja Gaiden 4 on PS5 later this year. Additionally, Forza Horizon 5 is set to come to PS5 soon. There are even rumors that Microsoft might finally bring Halo to PlayStation after years of exclusivity.

Spencer has explained that Xbox's multiplatform strategy is partly driven by the need to increase revenue for Microsoft's gaming division, especially after the massive $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

"We run a business," Spencer stated in August last year. "It’s definitely true inside of Microsoft the bar is high for us in terms of the delivery we have to give back to the company. Because we get a level of support from the company that’s just amazing and what we’re able to go do.

"So I look at this, how can we make our games as strong as possible? Our platform continues to grow, on console, on PC, and on cloud. It’s just going to be a strategy that works for us."

Bethesda Game Studios, with its 450 employees, is currently managing five teams: Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 76, mobile, and external development partnerships.
