When Xbox first announced its four titles moving over to other platforms last month, the team was keen to point out that Bethesda's Starfield wasn't going to be one of those ports. Despite this, rumours have swirled since about the potential for a PS5 version of the title - rumours that have now been played down by Jez Corden.
The Windows Central journalist took to Twitter yesterday to tell his followers that "great sourcing" has informed him that "nobody is working on Starfield for PlayStation right now". Corden went on to say that things could change down the line, but the move is not in Xbox's current plans.
These rumours appearing again seem to have been initiated by the PC release of Sony's Ghost of Tsushima, funnily enough. Twitter user Silknigth correctly posted about the PS5 exclusive's move to PC last month, not long after making this claim about Starfield:
For now, Corden seems to be going against the above rumour, although a late 2024 release could certainly be extrapolated as something completely different to Corden's "right now" Xbox timeline. We'll have to see how this all plays out, but it looks like chatter on Starfield to PS5 won't be dying down just yet.
What do you think to these claims and the potential for Starfield on PS5? Stay calm and discuss down below!

I remember Corden saying that his sources were telling him that the original rumours about games going to playstation were fake as well, then he sharp changed his tune as the rumours began to escalate and more leakers started saying games are definitely getting ported.
It’d be nice if nobody was working on Starfield at all.
The second tweet predates the first one, so I'm more inclined to pay attention to Jez in this instance.
It will definitely go onto other platforms. It's in-line with the new Xbox strategy and I don't see why not.
What is annoying though, is that it will launch feature full on other platforms when compared to Xbox.
I wish these "insiders" would jump in a rocket towards the sun! 😂
Jez Corden is your evidence?
The man literally said that Microsoft will never port to PS5 and that it was copium from fans.

@Aeula yup
Who cares, the game is bad.
Any rumours as to when that ABK catalog will be in gamepass? I know Diablo is coming in March but what about the rest of the stuff?
@Romans12 I personally love the game. Easily my favourite game I've ever played, and I think it looks and plays great on my Series S.
That will soon change if the 4 test games do well on PlayStation.
@Romans12 I enjoyed it at first and wouldn’t say it’s a ‘bad’ game. However it’s boring af, repetitive and cringeworthy.
Why is anybody giving the slightest bit of attention to that Jez pratt. Clearly knows absolutely nothing.
Commiserations PS5 owners, you are going to be able to play Starfield, too!
This guy is a clown. He was just talking about the rumors being true before the Xbox podcast.
All I can remember during the whole thing is the survey on Push Square, gears of war was the most wanted on PS5 by a good margin.
Then it’s on my top Xbox list for gears 6 and god only knows when that will turn up.
I just wish MS didn’t leave the door so open as to what their plans are. Like are we going to have Xbox hardware for as long as consoles exist? If so then i don’t care where some of the games go after a few years of being on Xbox and PC. But i am getting nervous that Xbox could go 3rd party if Series X/S don’t pick up and they have a rough 2-3 years with the next gen hardware.
The Devs need to release a proper version for Xbox first
I wouldn’t buy an.Xbox for it; but I’d probably grab Starfield for $15 if it included all the DLC. And I wonder how much “work” it actually needs. The kinks were worked out for Xbox and both platforms were developed for across many years. A little spit and shine and voila!
I don't get why so few people are failing to understand that Xbox putting these 4 games on PlayStation n Nintendo is nothing to do with making more money for Xbox....
Putting these games on more platforms is clearly about having ammo against the FTC who Xbox is still currently fighting for this ABK acquisition on currently.
I mean, if this was really about putting more money in the bank account for Xbox... why the hell would they have chosen "Pentament".
I mean why do you think Ubisoft has the ABK Cloud gaming rights for the next ten years... This ABK acquisition is not the final acquisition for Xbox, so they have to do what they have to do to grease the palms of regulators around the world. I mean I am sure Xbox made more money off these four games than they would have, but the real reason behind why the execs at Xbox decided to pull the trigger on putting these games on Nintendo n PlayStation in order to get the MF FTC off there backs (Lina Khan will be gone once the new administration comes in, whoever that ends up being. She has been a complete failure as the leader of the FTC and the new leader will not act as irritational as she has)
@lacerz They are releasing that Shattered Space DLC this Fall.
We know there was originally a PS5 version being worked on before they were bought up. Its highly likely that it still exists as they dont just delete everything. It might not be being worked on now but its possible that also doesnt mean it aint coming as it isnt being built from scratch.
The games that crossed over were all clearly ready to go before any rumour popped up as well, so basically who knows.
You don't release 4 games in the space of 2 months if nothing else is coming. Whether Starfield is next after Sea of Thieves, who knows but I think we'll see another batch of XGS games announced for PS5 by the end of June as Microsoft's fiscal year ends in June.
