Starfield was first announced by Todd Howard at E3 during the 2018 Bethesda conference. This was a big break from Bethesda’s past method of announcing a game sometime around E3, then launching it in the Fall of the same year. The original trailer for this game was so early that it didn’t even mention a launch year. Fortunately, we now know when Bethesda’s Starfield is scheduled to come out.
When Does Bethesda’s Starfield Come Out? Answered
Update March 8, 2023: Today, Bethesda has announced that Starfield will launch on Sept. 6, 2023 via a new trailer.
While Bethesda has pushed back the launch date of Starfield a few times now, it’s fair to say that delaying games is fairly commonplace in the games industry and is a way for the studio to further polish the title, which is not a bad thing, right?
What Platforms Will Starfield Release On? Answered
It’s important to note that since Bethesda’s parent company Zenimax Media was purchased by Microsoft back in 2021, Starfield is currently set to be console exclusive to Xbox. The game will also release on PC on Nov. 11 later this year, but there’s currently no indication that the game will release on PS5 or any other console.
