‘Starfield' And A New Expansion Heading To PS5 In 2026, Says Report
Well, that time may be coming.
According to a new report from MP1st, their sources say that Starfield will be coming to PS5 in the spring of 2026, and at the same time, will release a second expansion for all platforms, along with Quality of Life updates.
I would consider this more than just a random rumor, as MP1st has correctly reported on other Xbox stories ahead of the fact like the Oblivion Remastered and Persona 4 Remake reveals ahead of time. That would indicate Xbox sourcing that would in fact know something like this. Of course, nothing is a guarantee, and past that, existing plans can change.
Starfield has been a strange game. It was touted as having the most players for a Bethesda launch ever, but that was of course in part due to it being on Game Pass. Its Metacritic score of an 83 was well below most other Bethesda games. Its user scores were worse, and it is sometimes viewed by fans as a game they wish Bethesda hadn't made instead of getting Elder Scrolls VI out five years sooner.

I would say it's less surprising that Starfield will be coming to PS5 than it is the fact that Starfield may be getting a second expansion. Again, it seems like Bethesda should be 100% focused on Elder Scrolls or other future projects. Even as someone who liked the game more than most, its first Shattered Space expansion was quite bad, and it was a mere blip on its playercount charts, indicating that vast majority of Starfield owners didn't bother with it. So they actually made another one? I'd be shocked.
Despite all this, Starfield on PS5 is almost certain to do pretty well as a AAA Bethesda game at baseline. Microsoft's controversial multiplatform release strategy has so far panned out, like this past year creating a bizarre situation where Xbox is the number one publisher of games on PlayStation. Imagine telling people that ten years ago.
Even with Xbox releasing many games on PS5, this one would be one of the most significant. Back when Microsoft was arguing about Call of Duty exclusivity in court, they specifically cited Starfield as a game that would remain exclusive as a new, original IP under the Bethesda they now owned. But here we are. Wild times.

Watch Jelly Roll Fight Logan Paul in Much-Hyped WWE SummerSlam Match
The much-hyped battle between Jelly Roll and Logan Paul finally hit the ring Saturday at WWE's SummerSlam event, where the country singer and tag team partner Randy Orton faced off against the social media provocateur and his partner Drew McIntyre. The fight, which was set up over a month ago on Smackdown and was heavily promoted since then, marked Jelly Roll's first official match as a wrestler after making a handful of appearances at WWE events over the past year. More from Rolling Stone How to Watch WWE SummerSlam 2025 Online How to Watch 'WWE Friday Night SmackDown' Online Without Cable Hulk Hogan, Wrestling Superstar Turned Right-Wing Hero, Dead at 71 Jelly Roll — who claimed he broke his pinky and suffered other injuries while training for the match — endured a significant amount of beating during the match; at one point, Jelly Roll was outside the ring, lying on an announcers table when Paul jumped from the top post and landed on the singer, causing the table to overturn. 'The day the music died,' one of his opponents quipped. That aforementioned move knocked out Jelly Roll for a considerable amount of time as Orton fought against Paul and McIntyre alone. However, he recovered and made his way back to the ring 'like the walking dead' in time to accept Orton's tag-in, and delivered some clotheslines and choke slams on Paul to even up the match. However, the match concluded when Paul dropped his signature move the 'Paul from Grace' on Jelly Roll, who was then promptly pinned and defeated. The loss likely sets up WWE future involvement and an opportunity for revenge for Jelly Roll, but no plans have been announced as yet: Best of Rolling Stone Sly and the Family Stone: 20 Essential Songs The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked Solve the daily Crossword

5 productivity apps I swear by, and one of them unlocks the rest
Joe Maring / Android Authority Productivity apps are the bane of the app world. On one end of the spectrum are the total nerds who could shame a cyborg with their organizing skills, and on the other are those who dump everything into Google Keep just to have everything in one place. I live somewhere in the middle. I'm not pedantic enough to run the most complex Notion server and flex about it on Reddit, nor am I a simpleton who relies solely on a notes app. I use a bunch of apps every day to improve my productivity. They're all varied in kind and now form a solid part of a puzzle. If one piece is out of place, my workflow wouldn't break, but it would definitely distract me, or make me want to pull my hair out, depending on how severe the disruption is. Do you think AI chatbots improve your productivity? 0 votes Absolutely NaN % Somewhat NaN % Not really NaN % Here they are: Enpass + Ente Auth Karandeep Singh / Android Authority Every time I set up a new phone, these two are the first apps I install. My password manager of choice, Enpass, is the stepping stone — I wouldn't be able to log into any other app without it. So, it's the first thing that goes in. I started using it many years ago and have stuck with it ever since. While I'm on a lifetime grandfathered plan and it hasn't given me any trouble so far, the real reason I've stayed is that it carries my entire life's worth of passwords and important files in my pocket, always. Whenever someone needs a document, I just fire up Enpass and hand it over with all the sass that a password manager can afford. And of course, I need a 2FA code manager too, right? I've already gone on record about why I absolutely love Ente Auth and how convenient it's made my life with encrypted backups. But I'll say it again: I love it for making my life so damn convenient. This pair is something I genuinely can't live without. Nothing on my phones or laptops would work without these, and I use them at least 15 times a day — more often than I say the word 'Android' every day. TickTick Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Okay, I admit it, I've raved about this app too before. But it deserves all the praise and more! TickTick is by far the best task management app available for Android (and otherwise). It gets so many things right, is packed with features, and doesn't even ask you to pay for most of it. I sincerely can't plan my day without some of its reminder tools like subtasks, granular repeat reminder controls, and habit tracking. It's the app that's been logging my reading streak for years, too. It has more features than I use, but I think that's how nerd-centric apps should be. Not every feature is for everyone; you should be able to use what suits you and ignore the rest. That's exactly how I've set up TickTick to work for me, like no other app could. Notion Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Ah, the crown jewel of productivity apps that every enthusiast wants to flex about. What I like about Notion is its ability to be as complex or straightforward as you want it to be. Mine isn't too complicated, but it still meets my varied needs. For instance, it has my reading list, complete with the book's current reading status, the month I finished a book, what form it was in, the author, and the month I finished it in. I've even ditched MS Word for Notion for all my personal writing — essays, short stories, poetry, you name it. Its text formatting is just enough for me: three font styles and some basic markdown options. That's it. I'm not spending time adjusting fonts or tweaking margins anymore like in Word. I just open it and let my momentary creative spark shine on paper without formatting dimming it down. Google Keep Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I know I said Google Keep was a simpleton's app, but sometimes that's exactly what you need. While Notion is for more complex tasks and granular control, Keep is the warehouse where raw material sits before it goes through processing and turns into usable data. My thoughts, random info dumps, things I need to remember, it all goes here. You also can't discount its ability to share notes with literally anyone who has a Google account. And when I do share notes with people (say, with my mum), I know it won't overwhelm them like a Notion clip with a bunch of text, toggles, and indecipherable icons. What I still despise about Keep, though, is that all the new formatting options still aren't cross-platform, when we're more than halfway through 2025. ChatGPT Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Okay, I can already feel the side-eyes for this one. But I can't deny that ChatGPT has actually helped me become more productive and cut down on mundane tasks a lot. Take research, for instance. When I'm looking into something personal like a specific kind of diet, I'll feed it YouTube videos, forum threads, and articles that I find relevant, and ask it to combine all the dense information into something easier to parse. Then I'll ask it to generate a Notion-style doc, and boom, it's ready in seconds. No formatting needed. ChatGPT is that second brain, the one I bounce ideas off of, the one that helps me look at things from another angle. For writers, an editor is someone who gives you a different perspective that one fails to see while writing. For me, ChatGPT is that second brain, the one I bounce ideas off of, the one that helps me look at things from another angle, and helps me zero in on a direction. That would otherwise require a brainstorming session with a bunch of people. And we all know how hard it is to align timing and get people even on Google Meet, let alone in the same room. I could've added more mainstream apps to this list, but come on, Gmail and Calendar are part of everyone's productivity suite at this point. Most people wouldn't even call them productivity apps anymore. For me, anything that furthers my cause of staying productive while I fight tooth and nail with procrastination (jk, that battle will now happen tomorrow) earns a spot. These are the apps that help me sail through my work and personal day as if I'm a professional surfer. What's on your list of productivity apps? Comment below. Follow
