Summary
- Starfield may have major news next week, with a leaker hinting at an unexpected announcement.
- Speculation abounds regarding a potential PS5 port or second DLC release for Starfield.
- Fans eagerly await confirmation from Bethesda about the upcoming developments for Starfield.
Starfield may have some big news next week, according to one Bethesda leaker. Bethesda’s epic sci-fi RPG, Starfield, has enjoyed a number of important improvements throughout 2024. One update brought new city map icons to the game and another added the Rev-8 land buggy that allows players to travel across vast landscapes more quickly while exploring planets. Of course, the biggest addition to Starfield was its Shattered Space story DLC, which was released in September.
Around a year ago, Xbox began experimenting with bringing some of its smaller first-party games to other platforms like Nintendo and PlayStation. Titles like Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, and Pentiment made the jump over and sparked discourse online about whether Xbox will double down on third-party even more. The announcement at Gamescom that Bethesda’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle would come to PlayStation 5 in Spring 2025 opened the door for some of Xbox’s larger AAA games and tentpole franchises like Halo and Gears of War to join the speculative conversation as well. Starfield has been at the top of the list of games Xbox fans speculate will make a move over to PlayStation 5 next. However, Starfield coming to PS5 has never been officially confirmed by Phil Spencer or any other members of Xbox leadership.

It seems something big may be happening with Starfield next week, according to a leaker familiar with Bethesda. On Twitter, Odahfield mentioned that Bethesda will have news to share about Starfield next week, but went on to say that it’s not something fans have been expecting. There are really only two things Starfield fans are expecting at the moment. Many Starfield fans believe the game will be ported over to PS5 at some point soon. Fans have also been expecting news about a second Starfield DLC, which Todd Howard confirmed was in the works last year.
Starfield Is Rumored To Have Big News Next Week
Since both a PS5 port and second DLC news are on the top of many Starfield fans’ minds, Odahfield could mean that this big piece of Starfield news that’s coming next week is entirely different. With that said, there is some merit to the rumors of a PS5 Starfield port, as it’s been reported that PlayStation is gearing up for a State of Play next week. It would make sense that if Starfield really is announcing its PS5 port next week, it would do so as part of Sony’s State of Play. Of course, there is still the possibility of this news being Bethesda’s reveal of Starfield‘s second DLC, or perhaps a combined reveal of the PS5 port alongside the new DLC.
Whether this news Odahfield is talking about turns out to be the long-speculated PS5 Starfield port, simply news about its next DLC, both, or something else entirely remains to be seen. Since this is all just a rumor, fans will need to wait until next week to see if anything happens with Starfield at all.
