A petition which calls forStarfieldto become a PlayStation 5 exclusive has garnered more than a few signatures since its creation, but not from supporters.Starfieldis presently an Xbox exclusive due to Microsoft’s Bethesda purchase, an acquisition completed in 2021.
It is rare for public sentiment of a video game to dramatically improve just a few months before release, but therecentStarfieldDirecthas seemingly managed to pull it off. The forty-five-minute presentation has been widely hailed as one of the best showcases in history and demonstrated what developers were able to achieve with nearly a year of additional time.Starfieldwas initially due to be released on July 05, 2025, but then saw an indefinite delay. Many had assumed it would arrive in the first half of this year until the current September release date was announced.

It has been known for a while thatStarfieldwill not be coming to PlayStation consoles, but that has not prevented one gamer from trying to change course. Created by Benjamin Dickey, a Change.org petition is titled with a bold command - to makeStarfielda PS5 exclusive. The first line states, correctly, that Bethesda games have been released on PlayStation “for over a decade.” However, the veracity and logic of Benjamin’s arguments start to crumble from this point on.
The very next line claims that the aforementioned Bethesda games “perform better… run better, and sell better [on PlayStation],” and then incorrectly spells “Phill” Spencer’s name when specifically calling the head of Xbox out for “taking them away.“Bethesda has previously apologized to PlayStation fansupset thatStarfieldwill not be available on the platform. The rest dissolves into a collection of ad hominem attacks against Xbox fans and certain YouTubers, for some reason including a few that do not even publish any gaming-related content. Nonetheless, the petition has managed to collect 946 signatures at the time of writing.
Starfieldreleases for PC and Xbox Series X/S on September 6.
