The rumored PlayStation 5 port of Starfield might be the worst-kept secret in the gaming industry, but it looks like we're finally about to get an official announcement. At the same time as the official Bethesda Game Studios X account has announced Starfield news in the coming week, a release date has started to appear in the most recent leaks.
Reddit user Sensitive-Pride-3507 shared a link to a Starfield PS5 release on a Romanian storefront, which lists a release date of April 7, 2026. This matches a Portuguese release date found by Reddit user cocas02 a day earlier, along with a rumor shared by multiple leakers earlier this month. According to this timeline, pre-orders for Starfield's PS5 release are expected to open next week.
After so long spent in limbo, it might be hard to believe that a Starfield PS5 release is actually imminent, but it makes a lot of sense. Bethesda is unlikely to announce a port especially far in advance, and the successful shadow-drop of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered suggests that waiting until the last minute to announce a port could be a smart strategy for Bethesda in general....
