Starfield PS5 Release Rumored as Bethesda Plans Major 2.0 Overhaul

We know that Starfield could receive a major overhaul, and signs point to an announcement happening soon. However, that reveal may not land where some fans expect it.

Starfield PS5 version skips State of Play

According to PushSquare, Starfield will not appear during this week’s State of Play, despite ongoing speculation around a PlayStation 5 release. Instead, a new rumor suggests that Bethesda plans to unveil its next move sometime next month.

The claim comes from insider shinobi602, who has a solid track record and rarely shares information unless confident. This timeline lines up with a recent report stating that Starfield could launch on PlayStation 5 in early April.

Bethesda may be preparing a bigger relaunch

Bethesda typically keeps a short gap between announcements and releases, which strengthens the case for a near-term reveal. Reports suggest the announcement could arrive through a standalone Bethesda showcase or as part of an unannounced Xbox-related event.

Importantly, the upcoming reveal likely goes beyond a simple PS5 port. Sources indicate that Starfield 2.0 will take center stage, with major overhauls planned for existing gameplay systems. A second expansion may also appear, based on earlier reports.

These moves suggest Bethesda wants to reposition Starfield and spark renewed interest after its mixed launch reception. How deep the changes will go remains unclear, but expectations point toward a substantial refresh rather than minor tweaks.

More concrete details should emerge once Bethesda makes the announcement official.

In other news, recent developer teasers suggest that Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters are not happening anytime soon, and the latest hints were not related to a Fallout 3 remake.
