Experience the galaxy with DualSense

The biggest highlight of Starfield (PS5 Edition) is its deep integration with the DualSense controller. Players can feel detailed haptic feedback when spacecraft take off, as well as adaptive trigger resistance that changes depending on the weapon in use, from laser guns to resource extraction tools.

Define your journey among the stars

Set in the year 2330, Starfield places players in the role of a member of Constellation, the last group of explorers searching for rare artifacts across the galaxy. The game offers deep character customization, from appearance to background and traits. You can choose to become a skilled diplomat, a silent bounty hunter, or a talented engineer to shape your own story.

With over 1,000 planets to explore, players can freely pilot their ships, customize weapons and shields, and recruit crew members. Activities range from zero-gravity combat to base building and researching new technologies.
