Starfield Might Get ‘Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Style’ Update and PS5/Switch 2 Launch in 2026

Expert Verified By

Could This Finally Be Starfield's Time to Shine?

Story Highlight
  • Starfield is rumored to be getting a huge update, much like Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0.
  • Bethesda recently had a secret Starfield showcase showcasing its future content.
  • Expectations from the game were high when it launched, but it failed to deliver.

When Starfield was first announced, there was a lot of hype around it as it was a great idea and one full of potential. The title finally came out in 2023 and was mostly disappointing, and was overall a dull and flat experience. 

Bethesda is still committed to the IP, as new reports suggest that Starfield could get its own ‘Cyberpunk 2077 2.0’ like update and launch of PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, marking a comeback.

Why it matters: Expectations from Starfield were through the roof, and it was even being marketed as one of Xbox’s biggest games in years; however, the final product was quite underwhelming to say the least.

JuiceHead on X revealed that they, along with a few other people, were recently invited by Bethesda to see Starfield’s future content. While they haven’t revealed anything else, these could be an important few months for the RPG. 

Window Central has corroborated the report about the behind-the-closed-doors showcase and given an insight into what to expect. For starters, there is a new rumored DLC along with more new content and QoL updates.

The space travel will now get rid of loading screens, leading to seamless travel among planets and a much-improved exploration and open-world space system. They have updated the Creation Engine to help with this. 

Moreover, PS5 and even Nintendo Switch 2 ports are also expected to arrive in 2026. All in all, this could finally be the big turning point Bethesda has been expecting from Starfield, even since the release of its DLC
