As we all kind of knew already, Bethesda’s Starfield is spreading its intergalactic wings and migrating to PlayStation 5. It will do so on April 7th, which will coincide with the game’s next content drops: Terran Armada and Free Lanes.
On PS5 Pro, players will be able to select a special performance mode that ups the FPS, or select a better visual mode. On top of this, the PS5 version of the game will make use of the DualSense controller’s light bar, adaptive triggers and its touch pad.
Furthermore, the base version of the game will be $49.99 USD, and on all platforms.
Read on for information regarding the upcoming content additions:
Terran Armada introduces a new questline across the Settled Systems, with new characters, locations, enemies, quests, systems, and rewards. Players get the chance to shape the future of humanity in space as they combat the incursions of the Terran Armada’s robotic forces in this brand new story DLC.
Free Lanes is a free update that adds significant new features and systems designed to deepen the core Starfield experience for both new and returning players, most significantly opening up interplanetary travel within systems. With this update, players can use cruise mode to travel from planet to planet within a star system, where they’ll experience frequent encounters and activities and spend some quality time on their ship with their crew.
