Update 02/16/2024: Starfield on PS5 could happen in the future as Xbox hasn't ruled out the possibility of bringing more exclusives to non-Xbox platforms, but it doesn't sound like anything is in the works right now. After a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:series of rumours about a major shakeup to Xbox's exclusives strategy ran rampant online, Xbox executives Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond, and Matt Booty got together in a special Xbox Podcast to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:explain the future of Xbox. This included revealing that four cu🥃rrently unnamed Xbox exclusives will be heading to other cons🍃oles but that Starfield and, at the time, the upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are not making the jump (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones on PS5 has since been confirmed for Spring 2025).

The original viewpoint on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield coming to PlayStation was that, as an Xbox exclusive, the game would be playable only on PC and Xbox (even though the game was announced when a PS5 or PS4 version was almost certainly in development). Closer to Starfield's launch, Xbox, Bethesda, and even Todd Howard, were very clear that Starfield woul🏅d be exclusive to Xbox and PC, and that it wouldn't release on PS5 or PS4.

So, Starfield went from being multiplatform to an Xbox console exclusive and remains so... for now. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has also said in an interview with that a game going to any other platform shouldn't ever be ruled out. He goes on to say that the Xbox team is using these first four games as a learning experience. Spencer also said in the podcast that he believes exclusive games "are going to be a smaller and sma♐ller part of the game industry".

In short, it's all a bit of mess, really, but thereꦉ are currently no clear plans from Xbox tꦕo bring Starfield over to PS5.

Starfield on PS5 might have been in development, then wasn't, but could be in the future

The talk of what would and wouldn't be coming to PlayStation following the Bethesda acquisition was basically a mess when the first deal went though. It's highly likely that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield's single player adventure probably was aiming for multiple platforms originally - Sony were rumoured to be nego🔜tiating Starf🃏ield exclusivity in the months before Microsoft swooped in which, ironically, might have been one of the triggering factors for the acquisition. It's also since been revealed that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Redfall was in pro🐎duction for PlayStation and that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft allegedly canned it.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Even PlayStation 🔯boss Jim Ryan seemed u♏nsure when Bethesda was acquired, saying that Starfield being on PS4 or PS5 was "a decision that is out of our hands, we’ll wait and see what happens". At the time Bethesda's Pete Hines 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:was quoted as saying "there are Xbox brands on other platforms. Minecraft didn't stop existing on anything when Mojang was bought b💖y Microsoft. It's not a 'sorry you're neverဣ going to get to play anything on PlayStation again'".

As positive as that sounds, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Todd Howard talked about how limiting the platform would make a better game, stating, "you don’t ever want to leave people out but at the end of the day, your ability to focus and say, 'this is the game I want to make, these are the platforms I want to make it on', and being ꧋able to really lean in on those is going to make for a better product". Xbox marketing general manager Aaron Greenberg also stated that "Starfield will be launching e🦩xclusively on Xbox Series X , S and PC".

Over time all this confusing talk eventually solidified into Starfield being an Xbox exclusive, but now after plenty of rumors and Xbox having to clarify some things in an emergency podcast, we're currently back at Starfield maybe releasing on PS5, but almost cer💙tainly not anytime soon. Which is a ꧃big step back from the absolutely hard 'no' Xbox and Bethesda eventually reached in the past.
