According to a report by XboxEra, a magazine specializing in Xbox facts, Starfield could be coming up soon PS5. Jon “Sikamikanico” Clarke, who made the scoop, spoke to sources within Xbox, who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to disclose this information, citing two games already rumored to be about to go multiplatform: Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves, to which they added Bethesda's space role-playing game.
Launched in August 2023, Starfield definitely made waves, exceeding six million players in a week. Now it could arrive on the rival Xbox platform. When? According to Xboxera sources, after the launch of Shattered Spacethe game's first expansion, coming to Xbox and PC by 2024.
Microsoft would also invest in other PS5 devkits to support development.
An epochal turning point?
The change in strategy, i.e. bringing more first parts to other platforms, would have caused a big debate within the company, given that launching Starfield on PS5 would be a major contradiction compared to what was declared by Xbox, in particular by president Sarah Bond, during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Studios summer showcase of 2021.
Bond said at the time: “It's fantastic to share with you for the first time ever one of the world's most anticipated games, from Todd Howard and the team at Bethesda Game Studios. A landmark masterpiece and yes, it's exclusive.”
According to Xboxera's sources, some Xbox executives have discussed the pros and cons of launching more exclusives on other platforms. One faction would not be very happy with the decision made, which would be to open up more to a multiplatform philosophy, considered more profitable.
When will they come out? Hi-Fi Rush should be released on other platforms in the first quarter of this year, so very soon. Microsoft is also expected to make announcements regarding this new strategy during the month of February.
