Starfield Switch 2 port still in development, Insider claims

The game is releasing on PS5 next month!

After Bethesda announced Starfield is coming to PS5 on April 7, 2026, Nintendo fans have also hoped for a Starfield Switch 2 port as well.

Surprisingly, they have heard some good news and bad news from the industry insiders regarding the port of the game. Let’s check out more details in this article.

Not a smooth process for Starfield Switch 2 port

Industry insider and well-known leaker, NateTheHate, has recently shared the details that the Switch 2 port is still in development, but the process is not smooth at all.

This means that the development of the port is facing challenges. He has also been told to cross your fingers and hope for the best, as this suggests there might be a chance of being delayed indefinitely or even canceled.

Why is Switch 2 port difficult?

Porting this huge game made by Bethesda is not an easy task. This massive open-world sci-fi RPG offers space exploration, detailed environments and complex systems.

Although Bethesda was successful in bringing Skyrim and Fallout 4 to other platforms, Starfield operates on a much larger scale.

Because of this, the optimization for the Switch 2 becomes more demanding and challenging. Many other developers have also faced the same issues when porting their games to Switch 2.

Plus, the game is further expanding with new content and updates. The new features in the planned Terran Armada expansion and the Free Lanes update will consist of interplanetary transit within star systems, equipment upgrades, and companions.

Thus, the Starfield Switch 2 port task becomes more and more challenging & difficult.

Meanwhile, this game is set to launch on PS5 on April 7, 2026. The pre-orders for the Ultimate Edition are already in the top 3 on PlayStation Store. This edition includes all content plus the upcoming new DLC as well.
