More than two and a half years after its September 2023 debut on Xbox and PC, the sprawling galaxy of Starfield is finally explorable on PS5, and I could not be happier. I greatly enjoyed this game when I played on my Xbox Series X back at launch, and I’m having a blast returning to its world on PS5 Pro.
It’s fair to say that Starfield, the latest RPG experience from Elder Scrolls and Fallout developer Bethesda, is a divisive title. Even at launch, my (former) colleague David Meikleham wrote that he’d “never bounced harder off a Bethesda game,” and you don’t need to search gaming forums far to find gamers expressing their intense disappointment. There’s also no escaping the fact that Starfield has not enjoyed the stickiness of Skyrim or Fallout 4.
