They will probably port the GoTY edition with all DLC content to PS5/Switch 2 in a year or two

Oh yeah, that extra stuff I stupidly paid for without having played the game prior (which turned out to be a stinker). Well, here's to hoping it reinvents the game somewhat, because it's going to have to if they want me to play it (I know they don't, I already filled their wallet).

Will it make the base game more palatable?

Why do people keep saying this like they think it's happening anytime soon. It's just such a boring topic now, we've been over & over it to death at this point.

Can't wait to not play it

This is a bit optimistic, but it's possible depending how other ports do they might change their strategy and port major exclusives like this. We'll just see what happens. It wouldn't be anytime soon, more likely 2026 or beyond.

I would not be surprised to see it happen next year.

I don’t think I’m being too optimistic. It’s logical. When the new SKU is announced that’s when we’ll see the port.

Ultimate Edition. People would laugh the shit out of them if they would slap the GOTY name on this game

Having spent 100 hrs in game, i will return to it after they have released all updates / tweaks / patches etc.
Hopefully they do it faster (under 2 yrs or so).

A few months after releasing this expansion it will surely arrive on PS5, the later the more sales they will lose.

This is like the only game I beat last year that I wish I hadn't. Just a complete waste of time. It's so bland and uninteresting, I don't see an expansion fixing that.

I'm looking forward to it. I'll have a reason to reinstall.

It's not happening, dude. They've said it so many times. Guess some people don't believe things til they see it. Talk to ya in 2025 when it's still not on PS.

Awesome. Looking forward to coming back to the game. Hopefully they release a 40 fps mode for it on Series X.

You still believe what “they” say? Sorry for ya
On the topic at hand, Besthesda are in a tough spot right now. They in a position where they have curry favor people who don't have game pass and not underwhelm season pass holders as well. The chances are slim to non that they are going to release content that is going to get people to drop $100 dollars (game+season pass).
The base game is what it is content wise now so if you didn't get it before, are waiting for a serious price drop? Another thing, if you played the game on game pass and didn't like the base game why would come back for the DLC later on? Which is kind of leads into what I wrote below; they need a "fresh" base of users to sell to.
I don't think that Starfield is profitable right now. How many $70 copies could this game have sold on xbox where people don't buy games anymore. And we have seen the steam numbers; healthy week one numbers but it's not covering 200-400 million budget. A ps5 port is Microsoft C-suite decision not coming from Phil Spenser or some xbox rah-rah guy. At that point it's going to be a top priority for Microsoft and the xbox leadership should have already directed Besthesda to invest the manpower towards it.
Big Edit: I am not begging btw the only Sony hardware I have is a launch PS3. But if you watched the Xbox "business update event"; Phil Spenser looked like he was just let out of a straight jacket by the Microsoft board. These games getting ports are not his decision anymore and they are happening.

The port begging here has gotten beyond annoying at this point.

Phil Spencer.....Helldivers 2.....any of that port begging ringing a bell?
JohnnyFootball
GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
The best thing a Starfield DLC could do would to be Far Harbor like and limit the location to one planet and/or system. No randomly generated shit.
You could do something legit good in that regard.

Phil Spencer is on GAF replying to literally every thread asking for ports? Because that's what's been happening here.

No....Phil Spencer talking to the entire world asking for a port. Good enough for him so why shouldn't folks follow his lead especially when he was the one that dodged the question of Starfield going to PS5 entirely.

It's annoying but given the recent reality of actual ports from Xbox and what Phil said I don't see it as wishful thinking.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Come on Topher, that's such a bad analogy. He said one remark in one interview. Meanwhile every single Xbox thread is full of port begging quips, something that used to be a ban-able offense before. You can't have a single Xbox related thread on GAF without this crap here these days.
You know all this.

Nah, it's not "port begging." Not even close.
"Please bring this game to PS5" or "I'm not exactly sure who it helps in the industry by not being on
"Starfield will come to PS5." = Observation and prediction based on Xbox's recent comments and behavior

Bullshit. If you are going to call out port begging then you damn well better call it out when it comes from the CEO. You can't have it both ways.
And again, that same CEO is the guy that left the door wide open for a future PS5 ports of both Indiana Jones and Starfield. So once you start bitching about that then maybe you'll have room to point fingers and complain about port begging elsewhere.

Xbox is bringing Xbox games to PS5.
Almost every game will be questioned if/when it's coming to PS5. Especially Starfield, which was a part of initial rumors.
Now that the door has been opened by Xbox itself, these conversations are only natural and cannot be shut down by using "no, no, please stop the port begging comments" deflection shield.

They usually do 2-3 expansions for their games

And Phil doing that in one interview knows exactly what can of worms he opened and was way more damaging than people here predicting Starfield to PS5 which like the fake

What an odd thing to say. What does Phil Spencer's comment about Helldivers, a point that is called out routinely in many topics here mind you, have to do with this? Does that make it OK in your eyes to shit up every Xbox game related thread because Phil Spencer said something elsewhere?

Yes, but it's extremely low compared to past BGS titles. Skyrim and Fallout 4 were regularly in the top 10 most played list years after they launched. Starfield can't manage to make it in the top 100.
