Rumors surrounding a possible release of Starfield on PlayStation 5 are intensifying. If Bethesda has not yet made any official announcement, an online leak now suggests a specific date: April 7, 2026. This information would come from a source renowned for its predictions, but it should be taken with caution.
For over a year, several credible sources believe that Starfield could land on PS5, expanding the audience for the acclaimed space RPG upon its initial release. If this date turns out to be correct, it would fall on a Tuesday, which corresponds to the usual release habits for major console games.
Unconfirmed leak places Starfield on PS5 on April 7, 2026
According to the Italian PPE website, Starfield would have a release date on PlayStation 5 set for April 7, 2026. This deadline falls on a Tuesday, which makes it a plausible date: Microsoft and Bethesda have often chosen this day of the week to publish their titles. However, no details have yet leaked concerning the different editions of the game or their specific contents, even if we mention the existence of a standard version and a premium version.
Bethesda has not yet provided any confirmation. The leak therefore remains to be taken “with a grain of salt”. Although PPE has already revealed accurate information about other games before their official announcement, the source has also made mistakes in the past. It is therefore too early to consider this date as completely reliable.
When Bethesda could announce this release
Most observers believe that if Starfield must actually arrive on PS5, the official announcement should not take long. The ideal event for such a revelation could be the next State of Play from PlayStationa show dedicated to announcements and upcoming games.
To date, Sony has not confirmed the date of its first State of Play 2026, but some rumors suggest that it could be held on February 12. If this date is confirmed and the event takes place, Bethesda could take advantage of this showcase to unveil Starfield on PS5 as well as its release details, such as available editions and prices.
A major update in preparation
Alongside this possible release, rumors indicate that Bethesda is working on a important update of Starfield. This update could accompany the PS5 version or arrive shortly after its release.
It would aim to improve many aspects of the game, drawing on player feedback since the original launch in 2023. If this overhaul is well received, it could correct several technical or gameplay issues raised by the community, while enriching the narrative experience and features.
What to expect if the leak is confirmed?
If this date of April 7, 2026 is confirmed, Starfield would become one of the most important third-party games to release on PS5. This arrival on the Sony console would mark a significant turning point for Bethesda, which would extend access to its space universe to an even wider audience.
While waiting for official confirmation from Bethesda or Sony, players remain attentive to future announcements, particularly around State of Play or other major events in the video game industry.
