Reports Point to Major Starfield Overhaul, 2026 PS5 and Switch 2 Ports

Reports from creators who saw a private preview point to engine upgrades with more seamless space travel, with no official confirmation from Bethesda.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cite content creators who say Bethesda hosted a behind-closed-doors look at upcoming Starfield updates.
  • Descriptions indicate a reworked flight model intended to make space travel more continuous with fewer loading screens, enabled by Creation Engine improvements.
  • Reporting points to a PlayStation 5 launch in 2026, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version also suggested by several sites.
  • An expansion, possibly titled Terran Armada, is now expected in 2026, though sources differ on whether it targets the first half of the year or later.
  • Sources dispute the scale of the overhaul, with some invoking Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 update and others urging caution, and Bethesda has not confirmed any of the claims.
