AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Starfield is coming to PlayStation 5 on April 7, accompanied by the Terran Armada story DLC and the feature-rich Free Lanes update, which introduces cross-outpost storage and a new Milliewhale pet.
Bethesda's cosmic RPG Starfield is officially making the jump to PlayStation 5 on April 7. According to a report by Victoria Phillips Kennedy at Eurogamer, the upcoming port will fully utilize Sony hardware features, including DualSense adaptive triggers, lightbars, and touchpad support. Players rocking a PS5 Pro will also get dedicated Pro Performance and Pro Visual modes to dial in their preferred balance of frame rate and fidelity. Standard editions will retail at forty-four pounds and ninety-nine pence, while the Premium version bumps the price up.
Alongside the platform expansion, Bethesda is launching a major narrative expansion called Terran Armada. Priced at roughly ten dollars and included in the premium packages, this DLC drops players into a new questline packed with fresh locations, characters, and hostile robotic forces to clear out. It is a solid addition for anyone looking to dive back into the settled systems for a substantial story injection.
For those sticking to the base game, the concurrent Free Lanes update brings a long list of quality of life improvements and community requests across all platforms. The patch introduces cross-outpost storage, a new land vehicle named the Moon Jumper, and guinea pig-like creatures for outposts, not to mention a surprisingly charming Milliewhale pet. When speaking with developers ahead of the reveal, the team pointed to these systemic overhauls as the foundation for the most polished version of the game yet.
