Starfield PS5 Version Not Happening Anytime Soon, Corden Says; New Beta Update Rolled Out

wccftech.com:

Microsoft's and Bethesda's Starfield isn't coming to PlayStation 5 anytime soon, according to journalist Jez Corden.

Last month, various sources reported that Microsoft would be going multiplatform. One of the games that would be coming to PlayStation 5 was said to be Starfield. Recently, however, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said that, while confirming that a select few former Xbox console exclusives would be going multiplatform, Starfield isn't coming to Sony's console as this point. "I don't think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform", Spencer said about the possibility of other Xbox games being released on rival platforms at some point. "We're focused on these four games and learning from the experience. I don't want to create a false expectation on those other platforms that this is somehow the first four to get over the dam and then the dam's going to open and everything else is coming. That's not the plan today."

As expected, this has many thinking that Starfield will end up on PS5 at some point in the future. So when could this happen? Well, according to WindowsCentral's Jez Corden, at least not this year as a PlayStation version isn't currently in the works. "Since some people are asking me about the latest round of Starfield rumors, I'll say definitively: I have great sourcing that nobody is working on Starfield for PlayStation right now", Corden wrote on X.

When pressed on the matter, Corden added, "I said no exclusive games will go cuz all the games I investigated aren't going, I didn't bother to check on Pentiment cus I didn't feel like it made sense. So yeah, that was a prediction that didn't pan out. Survival game was speculation based on gameplay footage I had seen, looked great to me. That wasnt' sourced really. This is fully sourced. Nobody at Microsoft/subsidiaries is working on Starfield for PS5 today."
