Starfield PS5 Release Date Leaked for April 7, 2026
Multiple leaks suggest Starfield is finally coming to PlayStation 5 with an April 7, 2026 release date. Starfield PS5 release appears on a Romanian storefront listing, matching a Portuguese date found by Reddit users. Leaker billbil-kun previously shared expected pricing alongside the rumored launch window. A standard PS5 copy will allegedly cost $49.99 according to these leaks. The Premium Edition will reportedly retail for $69.99 on PlayStation 5. This pricing model follows Oblivion Remastered’s successful shadow-drop strategy. Bethesda’s official X account announced Starfield news coming within the week. Pre-orders for the PS5 version are expected to open next week.
What the Leaks Reveal
Reddit user Sensitive-Pride-3507 shared the Romanian storefront link with the April 7 date. Another Reddit user, cocas02, found a matching Portuguese release date a day earlier. Multiple leakers have corroborated this timeline throughout the past few weeks. The consistency between sources suggests the leak carries significant weight.
Bethesda is unlikely to announce a port especially far in advance. The successful shadow-drop of Oblivion Remastered proves waiting until the last minute works. Starfield’s Xbox exclusivity has frustrated many long-time Bethesda fans. A PlayStation 5 release could be a major upside of Xbox’s multi-platform transition.
Pricing and Platform Implications
The cheaper $49.99 price tag could affect pricing on other platforms. Starfield currently retails for $69.99 digitally on Steam and Xbox. Hopefully that number drops to match the new PS5 price point. MSRP reductions over time are standard for Bethesda games.
Fallout 4 has fallen to a $19.99 digital price over the years. Older Bethesda titles are even cheaper than that now. All rumors should be confirmed or debunked within the coming week. The April 7 date will likely make an official appearance very soon.
