Starfield Releases on PS5 with Terran Armada DLC, Update

Bethesda Game Studios has expanded its space exploration RPG Starfield with the release of the Terran Armada expansion and the Free Lanes update, coinciding with the game's debut on PlayStation 5 on April 7, 2026. Originally launched as a Microsoft exclusive on Xbox Series X/S and PC on September 6, 2023, Starfield now reaches a broader audience through the new platform, alongside enhancements designed to address player feedback on gameplay and immersion.

The Terran Armada DLC, priced at $9.99 and included in the Premium Edition, introduces a new story campaign centered on an invasion by the Terran Armada, a force deploying advanced robots to unite humanity through conquest across the Settled Systems. Players must counter the threat, uncovering hidden secrets while gaining access to new enemies, weapons, technology, and a companion named Delta, who offers more flexibility for morally ambiguous playstyles. To begin the questline, recommended for level 50 characters, players need to visit Akila City in the Cheyenne system—accessible early in the main story—and listen to a specific SSNN broadcast from a street terminal, which adds the "Attack of the Terran Armada" mission to the log.
