Origin of Starfield Launch Cancellation Rumors on PS5
At first, Starfield was rumored to be coming to Sony's console, the PS5. However, a leaker recently retracted his claim. In fact, not just one leaker only, rumors based on insider stated that Starfield has been approved for release on multiple platforms.
However, for some reason, the approval for the release on PlayStation was suddenly canceled, sparking rumors that the launch of Starfield on PS5 would be canceled.
NateTheHate, leaker and a podcaster, added to the claim by stating in a tweet on February 4 that Starfield would be coming to PS5. However, less than a week later, insider retracted his statement, which he later called an "error of judgment".

NateTheHate explained that he had responded to early reports from XboxEra about Starfield releasing on PlayStation. In fact, he even claimed to have gotten similar confirmation from his source. However, after double-checking the information, he concluded that he was miss information by writing down:
"I will admit the mistake."
Later, on Twitter or as it is now called X, NateTheHate explained that he couldn't reveal the veracity of XboxEra's report. Following this, the leaker commented again that he shouldn't blame XboxEra.
"Their information is probably better than mine,"
The leaker remains of the opinion that some Xbox games are still open to multi-platform, although Starfield may not be one of them.
Some industry observers consider Microsoft's lack of responsiveness to refute rumors about this, including rumors about Xbox games that will be made into multi-platform games. Microsoft's silence might be interpreted as them confirming the rumors.

So, until now, all of these things are just rumors. In fact, even NateTheHate did not provide clarity on whether Starfield will release on PS5 or not.
While the prospect of Starfield coming to console gaming may be unclear, what is certain is that the existence of a multi-platform gaming strategy will not signify a major change in Microsoft's overall gaming strategy. In this case, Microsoft is rumored to have guaranteed employees that they will continue to make Xbox consoles.
