Leak Suggests Upcoming Xbox Console Exclusive May Arrive on PS5

If all the buzz and speculation are accurate, Xbox players have quite an intriguing year ahead, particularly concerning its impact on the PS5 community. The latest piece of the rumor puzzle comes courtesy of Bethesda, where eagle-eyed fans noticed the PlayStation logo sneakily making an appearance on the mod page for the highly-anticipated space RPG, Starfield.

PlayStation Logo Unexpectedly Surfaces on Starfield’s Mod Page

In a surprising twist shared by YouTuber 510deshawn and later highlighted on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, a mod for Starfield created by user ValleysEdge displayed a PlayStation logo as one of the compatible platforms. The excitement was short-lived, however, as the logo mysteriously vanished, followed by the removal of the entire mod from the site. Despite the deletion, keen-eyed fans captured screenshots to memorialize this curious incident.

For over a year now, whispers of a Starfield port for the PS5 have captivated the gaming community. Given the array of titles set to debut on Sony’s console—and those sparked by rumors—it wouldn’t be shocking if Bethesda’s latest offering made its way to the PS5. However, previous reports from March of last year seemed to quash these hopes, stating no plans were underway for a PS5 version. Nonetheless, a lot can change in a year, and we’ll only truly know when an official announcement is made.

Upon its 2023 release on Xbox Series X|S and PC, Starfield earned a warm reception, though not without some unmet expectations. According to Metacritic, the game boasts a respectable average score of 83 based on 81 reviews.

As for what’s next in the Xbox lineup for PS5 users, there’s plenty to anticipate. Forza Horizon 5 is set to make its PS5 debut next month. The much-talked-about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is penciled in for spring 2025, but whispers suggest a possible earlier release next month. In addition, World’s Edge has confirmed that Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition will also grace the PS5, though the exact timing remains a mystery. A recent update hints that this beloved RTS might just hit PS5 consoles by April.
