In the trailer we see an astronaut preparing their ship for takeoff, as a voice-over talks about how you’re part of something called “Constellation” and suggesting that you’ve found something that is “the key to unlocking everything”. You can take a look at the trailer below:

But it’s bad news for PS5 players, asMicrosoftconfirmed that Starfield is an Xbox exclusive, coming toXbox Series X,Xbox Series Sand PC, but notPS5. This is in line with earlier comments from Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, who said that future Bethesda titles will be exclusive to “platforms where Game Pass exists” but, until now, we hadn’t had solid confirmation that Starfield won’t land on PS5.
Microsoft also revealed that Starfield is coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming andXbox Game Passat launch.
We’re hoping to hear about Starfield in the coming months but at least now we have a solid release date to look forward to.
