The infinite universe of Starfield is about to experience a second birth on PS5. But then the question arises, why could this version eclipse all the others from April 7, 2026? MCE tells you everything.
Starfield: a new generation immersion on PS5
Good news, the game is finally coming to the Sony console. This exit, preview for April 7, 2026, promises to be a major event for fans of role-playing games. And for good reason, this edition was thought of very differently.
Its aim is to offer a unique gaming experience. Bethesda put focus on exclusive features that you won’t find anywhere else. Neither on PC nor on Xbox, these innovations promise to shake up your gaming habits.
The DualSense controller is at the heart of this revolution. Thanks to its L2/R2 triggers, each laser rifle shot is a technical feat. You will feel the tension of moving in the immensity of the vacuum of space.
The vibrations of the controller will transcribe with fidelity sensations of gravity. A hard landing or near explosion will cause your hands to vibrate. Added to this is the controller’s light bar which becomes a real-time indicator.
Know that it changes color depending on your health. And more! It also reflects the state of your ship. Great, isn’t it! That’s not all! Because it flashes in the event of imminent danger. Bethesda therefore worked hand in hand with the Sony teams.
The objective was to exploit the power of the PS5 Pro for stunning immersion. The raw power of the console is also felt in the graphics. Where the Xbox version may show limitations, the PS5 Pro is doing well.
For science fiction fans, this is therefore a weighty argument that could tip the scales.
A stunning experience that surpasses the Xbox version
The developers have integrated features missing from the original versions. The most striking is undoubtedly the use of the DualSense touchpad. No more complex menus where you navigate blindly using a simple directional cross.
From now on, a simple swipe of your finger will allow you to access the galactic map. Another press will open your inventory without ever interrupting the game action. These small additions change the pace of the game.
The touchpad also allows you to change cameras, access menus via gestures, and activate the scanner. The player remains immersed in the universe without being taken out of his immersion by difficult menus. This fluidity is reinforced by the audio of the PlayStation controller.
The cry of alien creatures or the hum of the reactors will envelop you from all sides. On Xbox, the sound experience was already good, but here it becomes spatial in the literal sense.
This attention to detail turns each side mission into a thrilling adventure. Bethesda therefore took the time to polish this version. There is no doubt, the publisher wanted to make an impression.
To top it all off, this PS5 version will include multiple display modes. Either Visual mode (4K / 30 FPS) for maximum quality. And Performance mode (60 FPS) for more fluidity.
