Taiwan's Entertainment Software Rating Information Board has rated Bethesda's Starfield for the Nintendo Switch 2, signaling a likely port to the console. The leak surfaced a week after the game's PS5 version launched on April 7. Early PS5 sales reached about 140,000 units in the first week, according to data analyst Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics.
The rating, spotted by Universo Nintendo, marks another Microsoft title heading to Nintendo's upcoming hardware. Bethesda has not confirmed the Switch 2 version, but the move aligns with recent ports like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, set for next month, Fallout 4, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered later in 2026. Indonesia's ratings board has also leaked Diablo 4 for Switch 2 this year, indicating a surge in cross-platform releases for the console's first year. On PS5, Starfield's performance has been modest. Alinea Analytics reported roughly 140,000 copies sold in the first week, surpassing Avowed's 54,000 units, Age of Empires 4's 52,000, and South of Midnight's 16,000 after two weeks. However, it trails leaders like Ninja Gaiden 4 at 257,000 and Forza Horizon 5. Prior to the PS5 launch, Starfield had amassed over 15 million players across platforms, with 3.7 million Steam sales before the Free Lanes update and 1 million Xbox copies sold alongside 8 million Game Pass users, Elliott noted.
