Bethesda’sopen-world RPG is one of the most-anticipated titles of the decade, butPlayStation 5users are going to have to watch from the sidelines. SinceMicrosoftwent and scooped upBethesda,Starfieldwill be exclusive to Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Is this a bit of a shame? Sure. But it is what it is, and no amount of petitions will change it. Besides, PlayStation owners have a crap-ton of exclusives.The Last Of Us,Marvel’s Spider-Man,God Of War… the list goes on. Everybody gets something. And the good news? PS5 owners looking to scratch that RPG itch on September 6 can do so with a massive new RPG… it’s just notStarfield.

Take a look atStarfieldin action below!
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know thatBaldur’s Gate 3is headed to PS5 on September 6, the same dayStarfielddrops. While not exactly the same kind of game,Baldur’s Gate 3is in many ways even more ambitious - a huge, stunningly detailed and enormously ambitious RPG that takes the freedom of Dungeons & Dragons and puts it into a video game.
InBaldur’s Gate 3you can pretty much be anyone and do anything, and it’s set to be properly massive. The cinematics alineclock in at around 170 hours, and there are over17,000 different endings to see. This is a game that rewards customisation, player choice, and creative thinking every step of the way.

Again, I must stress that this really isn’t anything likeStarfieldin any way, beyond the fact they’re both RPGs.Starfieldhas more of a focus on action-based combat, for one thing, whereBaldur’s Gate 3’s encounters are a turn based strategy affair. But both games look genuinely incredible, and promise to completely consume months of our lives. So really, no matter what console you’re on or what game you choose, RPG fans are winning in 2023.
