Fix your posture and lock in because reports claim that Starfield, an Xbox exclusive, is now heading towards a PS5 release. Many believed that the game would remain a flagship on Xbox while competing with PlayStation's first-party titles, after Microsoft spent $7.5 billion to acquire ZeniMax Media (parent company of Bethesda Softworks). 

 

However, all hail to Billbil-kun, a credible insider from the industry, who claims that Starfield’s PS5 release might be on the brink, although there are no official announcements regarding this massive port! 

There’s no specific game that I would– this kind of goes back to my “Red Line” answer– like there’s no reason for me to keep a ring fence around any game.”

It all began when Phil Spencer, ex-CEO of Xbox, hinted that the Sci-Fi RPG might be released on rival consoles when asked by Destin Legarie. Further, the exclusivity ended when Todd Howard claimed that Starfield 2.0 is not an overhaul, but just a patch update to improve the experience for existing players. Indeed, a rough time for Xbox!
