Starfield Hitting PS5 in April Alongside New Update, DLC
Bethesda announced that its sci-fi RPG Starfield will release for PlayStation 5 on April 7, 2026. The date will also see the game receiving both a free update and the Terran Armada story DLC on all platforms. The PlayStation 5 version will be available in a $49.99 standard edition and a $59.99 Premium Edition that includes Terran Armada , the previous Shattered Space DLC, 1,000 Creation Credits, a skin pack, and a digital art book and soundtrack. The contents of the Premium Edition will also be available as a separate upgrade pack for $24.99. Terran Armada will also be available to purchase individually for $9.99.
The Terran Armada DLC adds a new questline that takes place across the Settled Systems. It concerns the eponymous Terran Armada, which is made up of members of the United Colonies and Freestar Collective who vanished during the Colony War. Its advanced forces are primarily made up of robotic soldiers. The DLC will include a new companion, a reprogrammed Terran Armada robot named Delta, as well as a new Incursion system where players are alerted to potential Terran Armada encounters, new ships and ship parts, new crew, and a pre-built outpost option.
Meanwhile, the "Free Lanes" update will let players freely fly between planets within a star system. Players will be able to do on-ship interactions in cruise mode while travelling, as well as find various new points of interest and additional space encounters. The update also adds a new resource called X-Tech, which will let players further customise weapons, gear, and ships. Other additions and changes include a shared outpost container, an in-game database, a new outpost pet, a new starstation, new ship modules, new side quests, a new land vehicle, and more. Full details about both Terran Armada and Free Lanes can be found here .
Starfield released in September 2023 for PC and Xbox Series X|S. It is set in the Settled Systems, a pocket of colonised star systems in the Milky Way, extending around 50 light years from Earth. The game sees players controlling their own created character as they join Constellation, a group seeking rare artifacts around the galaxy to unlock some of its final mysteries. Players explore numerous planets and cities while upgrading and customising their own spaceship.
