Starfield has now launched on PlayStation 5, marking a major shift for Bethesda’s space RPG that many once expected to stay tied to Xbox, and the game arrives with fresh content, technical upgrades, and deeper integration with PlayStation features that aim to improve the overall experience for new players.
Bethesda brings the game to PS5 alongside two key updates, where the Free Lanes update rolls out to all players at no extra cost and introduces gameplay changes across the universe, while the Terran Armada expansion adds new story content and remains a paid upgrade for those who want a larger experience.
Pricing and editions
Players can buy the base version of Starfield for $49.99, while the premium edition that includes the Terran Armada expansion costs $69.99, and those who upgrade later from the base game will need to pay an additional $24.99 unless a discount applies at the time.
The PS5 version uses the console’s hardware to deliver better visuals, including support for PSSR 2.0 on PS5 Pro, and it also takes advantage of DualSense features like adaptive triggers, built-in speaker feedback, and light bar integration that adds subtle in-game cues.
Overall, Starfield’s arrival on PS5 expands its reach and brings a more refined version of the game with meaningful updates that shape how players explore its space-driven world.
