Starfield Rumored to Break Xbox Exclusivity and Head to PS5
According to a report by XboxEra, Starfield is poised to make its way to the PS5. The game was once exclusive to Xbox but will reportedly come to the PlayStation world. The speculated expansion, ‘Shattered Space,’ is anticipated to precede this multi-platform release later this year.
Furthermore, other titles, Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves are also set to come on PS5. Hi-Fi Rush will be potentially arriving as early as Q1 of this year. An official statement from Microsoft addressing these developments is anticipated this month.
Adding weight to the speculation, XboxEra asserts that Microsoft has increased investments in PS5 development kits. This aligns with a notable change in the company’s strategic approach.
Moreover, Jez Corden from WindowsCentral echoed these evolving rumours, expressing an expectation for Starfield to expand its availability to PlayStation. The speculations gained momentum in January 2024, fueled by widespread rumours that Xbox was contemplating releasing some of its games on various platforms, including Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves.
While an official confirmation is pending, the surge in rumours hints at a substantial shift in Xbox’s gaming strategy, signifying potential changes in exclusive arrangements. As the saying goes, where there’s smoke, there might be fire, and gamers await official word on this anticipated expansion of Starfield’s accessibility.
