Starfield leaked for yet another console

Just before the recently announced PlayStation 5 release, another leak has indicated that Starfield coming to Nintendo Switch 2. Before the 2023 release, Starfield was hugely anticipated as Bethesda Game Studios' first new intellectual property in 25 years. The game saw Bethesda take its open world design into space, with over a thousand planets to explore.

Upon release, Starfield received positive reviews, although it seemed like the game didn't quite live up to the five years of massive anticipation it had built up after its announcement at E3 2018. Bethesda continued to support the game with quality-of-life upgrades, and it also received its first major DLC expansion, fragmented spacealthough it received somewhat mixed reactions. Still, Bethesda isn't done supporting the project, as the publisher has just announced the new one Terran Armada The DLC, and after years of speculation, has confirmed it Starfield coming to PlayStation 5 in April.

Starfield for Switch 2 is rumored to be in development

Prominent gaming industry insider NateTheHate has reported that, alongside his latest PlayStation 5 reveal, Starfield may come to Nintendo Switch 2 next. This information comes from a Twitter response to user @PedroKrusch, who, in response to Bethesda's announcement of Starfieldpp Terran Armada DLC, NateTheHate asked if there was any news on the Switch 2 release. NateTheHate responded by saying, “It's in development, but it hasn't been a smooth process. Fingers crossed and hoping for the best.”

If NateTheHate's report is correct, Starfield would join a stacked list of Bethesda titles on Nintendo Switch 2, as the publisher just announced a trio of titles at the recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, including Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition, Indiana Jones and the Great Circleand the coming The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. This isn't the first time the title has seen rumors of a Switch 2 release, like a retailer for one Starfield port on Switch 2 appeared last August. In addition, Starfield had previously leaked for the Switch 2 last January along with other Microsoft titles such as Diablo 4 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Starfield Releasing on the Nintendo Switch 2 would be excellent news for the Nintendo console, which continues to receive third-party support that previous Nintendo systems have not seen. Nintendo previously revealed that the Switch 2 had the largest third-party lineup on a Nintendo platform to date, and featured titles such as Resident Evil Requiem and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth continue to contribute to that growth. Being able to squish a game as big as Starfield down for a portable gaming experience would be very impressive, and it would give Nintendo fans a new way to sink several hours into the adventure.

Still, NateTheHate's comments about the Switch 2 port's development process will definitely cause some pause among happy gamers. The Switch 2's capabilities have impressed third-party developers and publishers, and the system has proven capable of running major third-party titles competently, but given that Starfields development process has already had several bumps, scaling the game down for a portable machine is challenging. We hope Bethesda can figure things out and Switch 2 owners can add Starfield to a growing library of great third-party titles.
