Not unless Microsoft decides it feels like sharing, which is doubtful considering Starfield was one of the main reasons it bought Bethesda to begin with.<\/p>\n<p>The only option for PlayStation 5 owners (that doesn\u2019t involve buying an Xbox or gaming PC) is to fall back on similar space-faring video games; some of which are inarguably better games \u2013 even if they\u2019re not exactly the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we\u2019ve put together a list of 10 Starfield alternatives that share at least one gameplay element with Bethesda\u2019s newest project, from simulated space combat to deep role-playing.<\/p>\n<p>Not all of them have native PS5 versions but, thanks to the console\u2019s backwards compatibility, PlayStation 4 games can be played on the newer console.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Elite Dangerous<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elite Dangerous: Odyssey | Launch Trailer\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RAb3nH5Eilo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The grandaddy of all space simulators, Elite Dangerous is the modern day ancestor of the original space trading simulator from the 1980s. Like Starfield, its opening hours are a slog and some may be put off by its overly serious tone, but after almost a decade of support you\u2019ll never run out of things to do.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mass Effect<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mass Effect Legendary Edition \u2013 Official Launch Trailer (4K)\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q0lVjqxF0C0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Mass Effect trilogy really isn\u2019t that dissimilar to Starfield, with some elements and locations even being suspiciously similar. It\u2019s a sci-fi role-playing shooter hybrid with a large cast of companions that you bond with over the course of the story. The biggest difference is that Mass Effect has intelligent aliens to talk to (and kiss, if that floats your boat).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Outer Worlds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Outer Worlds - What is The Outer Worlds Trailer | PS4\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zM9CQ8bZawg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Obsidian\u2019s busy with its not-Skyrim game Avowed at the moment, but it kind of already did a not-Starfield game four years ago with The Outer Worlds. Technically, it has more in common with Fallout (Obsidian also made New Vegas), but you can\u2019t go wrong with another sci-fi role-player, especially given its wining sense of humour.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Fallout 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fallout 4 - Launch Trailer\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X5aJfebzkrM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Fallout, we\u2019d be remiss to not mention at least one of Bethesda\u2019s game from its pre-Microsoft days. There\u2019s always Skyrim but if you\u2019re not much of a fantasy fan, Fallout 4\u2019s superbly detailed post-apocalyptic world and excellent upgrade system should more than make up for missing out on Starfield. Although it may be worth waiting for that next gen upgrade that\u2019s meant to be happening.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"No Man&#039;s Sky Echoes Update Trailer\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8g2YqU-_GtA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We are not the first to compare Starfield to No Man\u2019s Sky and we certainly won\u2019t be the last. It may have had a rocky launch, but years of post-launch support have turned it into one of the best space sims out there. Plus, unlike Starfield, this game lets you manually land your spaceship on planets, something it was able to pull off starting back in 2016.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Guardians Of The Galaxy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Marvel&#039;s Guardians of the Galaxy - Launch Trailer\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OC5s1Toy93A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll take any opportunity to push what is possibly 2021\u2019s most underrated game. It may at first seem like just another quippy Marvel action game, but Guardians Of The Galaxy boasts some fun tactical combat, an incredible looking cosmic setting, a fantastic 80s soundtrack, and some surprisingly nuanced story and character writing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Everspace 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Everspace 2 - Launch Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LZH-9NW-bAY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This one wisely launched a month ahead of Starfield, but it stands on its own despite obvious comparisons. More a looter shooter with role-playing elements, Everspace 2 boasts some great space combat and in-depth crafting systems. Although you are bound to your ship\u2019s cockpit the entire time, so there\u2019s no on-foot exploration.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Star Wars Squadrons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Star Wars: Squadrons \u2013 Official Gameplay Trailer\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nCcfJ9uEwvs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Of course we were going to include a Star Wars game on this list. Rather than either of Respawn\u2019s Jedi games, though, we recommend Star Wars Squadrons, specifically for fans of space combat. The plot is okay (and seems like it might be referenced in the Ahsoka series) but it\u2019s the action, inspired by the 90s X-Wing and TIE Fighter games, which is second to none, and way ahead of any other game on this list.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Outer Wilds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OUTER WILDS | Launch Trailer\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZKJUMMCJvGM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>No, we didn\u2019t list The Outer Worlds twice. Outer Wilds is a more solitary adventure that trades shooting and space travel for temporal puzzle solving and exploration. Whereas Starfield\u2019s multiple planets can be incredibly sparse, Outer Wilds\u2019 single location is incredibly layered and interesting to explore, as you unravel its time-bending mysteries.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Destiny 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Destiny 2 has more in common with MMOs than single-player adventures like Starfield, but its first person combat is still the best in the business and miles ahead of Starfield. The core gameplay loop is very moreish and you\u2019re never short on things to do and planets to explore. Plus, it\u2019s free-to-play so there\u2019s no harm in testing it out before committing hundreds of hours to it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Destiny 2  - Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hdWkpbPTpmE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Email\u00a0gamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,\u00a0follow us on Twitter, and\u00a0sign-up to our newsletter.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Follow Metro Gaming on\u00a0Twitter\u00a0and email us at\u00a0gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/p>\n<p>To submit Inbox letters and Reader\u2019s Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use our\u00a0Submit Stuff page here.<\/p>\n<p>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our Gaming page.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/metro-parent\/img\/fallback.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Sign up to all the exclusive gaming content, latest releases before they&#8217;re seen on the site.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2023\/09\/06\/is-starfield-on-ps5-no-but-these-10-sci-fi-alternative-games-are-19458016\/?ico=zone-widget_home_gaming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the biggest Xbox exclusive for a decade but if you\u2019ve only got a PS5 what are the Starfield alternatives?
