Starfield PS5 in Rumors Again, Along With Some Major Reworks

A new report from PushSquare claims the long-rumored Starfield PS5 port is getting close, and Bethesda may be preparing a sizeable update alongside it.

What’s being rumoured about Starfield on PS5

The article’s main claim is simple: a PS5 version could finally be revealed in 2026, after years of “will they / won’t they”.

• It says the PS5 port has been “long rumoured” and may be announced next year.
• It repeats the idea that the game was once linked to PlayStation, then cancelled after Microsoft bought the publisher.
• It frames this as part of Xbox bringing more first-party games to PS5.

In other words: this isn’t “Starfield is secretly already on the PS Store”. It’s more like “Bethesda is lining up the dominoes”. If it lands, it likely lands as a planned beat, not a surprise drop.

The “behind closed doors” showing

The report claims Bethesda recently held some kind of session for content creators to outline what’s coming next, including expansions and improvements.

• Described as an event or briefing for creators.
• The focus was future expansions and game improvements.
• This is referenced as “behind closed doors” content being shown this week.

If this part is accurate, it matters because studios don’t usually brief creators early unless they want the message to spread fast once the embargo lifts. That doesn’t confirm a PS5 port by itself. But it does suggest Bethesda is gearing up to talk about Starfield again in a more structured way.

The “major update” angle

The article leans on a persistent rumour: the port could launch alongside a big update designed to address common frustrations.

• The update is described as “major” in the rumour.
• There’s disagreement over scale (some compare it to a big redemption moment, others say lower expectations).
• Two specific areas get mentioned: loading screens and the game’s structure.

That last bit is the real headline. “Structure” can mean lots of things, so don’t assume it’s a full redesign. But even modest changes can improve how the game feels hour-to-hour. If you’ve bounced off Starfield before, this is the part worth watching.

Why January 2026 keeps coming up

The report says that if Bethesda is already showing content privately, an announcement should happen by January “at the latest”. It points to an Xbox “Developer Direct” confirmed for the new year as a likely place for news.

• It suggests a January 2026 latest window for an announcement.
• It notes Xbox has already confirmed a Developer Direct for the new year.
• It guesses any upcoming Starfield news could land there.

For UAE players, that’s convenient: announcements in US time often land late night here. So you may be seeing this stuff around midnight in Dubai, not over breakfast.
