Bethesda Studios have confirmed that Starfirled is making the quantum leap to Playstation 5 on the April 8.
The launch of the game on Sony’s best-selling console comes at the release of the Terran Armada and Free Lanes, two of Starfield’s major new content drops.
Starfield has been a massive hit for Bethesda, the incredibly ambitious project has had hundreds of hours poured into it (just from myself!) The community has made over 1000 items which has made this game have an extraordinary life post main game.
Bethesda have confirmed that the game has utilised all of the features on the PS5 including the lightbar on the DualSense controller, adaptive triggers, touchpads and more. If you have a PS5 Pro, you can select a Pro Performance mode to prioritise a higher-target FPS or select Pro Visual Mode. Based on how incredibly beautiful this game is, this could be a great option.
The DLC has been confirmed with Terran Armada, which introduces a new questline across the Settled Systems, with new characters, locations, enemies, quests, systems, and rewards.
Free Lanes is a free update that adds significant new features and systems designed to deepen the core Starfield experience for both new and returning players, most significantly opening up interplanetary travel within systems. With this update, you can use cruise mode to travel from planet to planet within a star system, where you’ll experience frequent encounters and activities and spend some quality time on your ship and the crew.
There are additional features coming with the update which include:
- New locations – A number of new Encounters, POIs, Dungeons, notable increase in variety for players to discover
