Overview

  • The PS5 port is reportedly slated for March through mid-June 2026 with no announcement expected at Gamescom 2025.
  • Sources say the delay from 2025 stems partly from weak sales and mixed reception of the September 2024 Shattered Space DLC.
  • Bethesda intends to bundle the PlayStation launch with its second major expansion and a suite of quality-of-life updates.
  • Phil Spencer has affirmed there are no “red lines” preventing Xbox first-party games from appearing on rival consoles.
  • Microsoft’s multiplatform strategy has already brought Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves and Grounded to PS5.
