Some Starfield enthusiasts are quite dissatisfied that no fresh content was revealed for the space exploration game during the recent Xbox Games Showcase 2025. Following last year’s leaks about a second Starfield expansion, many players expected to see Bethesda’s title featured at the event and were significantly let down by its omission.
Starfield has generated mixed reactions since its launch in 2023. Although the game garnered predominantly favorable reviews from critics, players expressed split opinions, highlighting the absence of compelling content as a significant drawback. Since then, Bethesda has issued intermittent Starfield updates, with certain updates introducing major features like a new vehicle; however, the majority of patches have primarily concentrated on bug fixes, gameplay balancing, and stability improvements. Additionally, last year saw the release of the “Shattered Space” expansion DLC for Starfield, which received a mix of feedback.
Following Starfield’s total absence in the recent Xbox Games Showcase 2025, fans took to social media to express their apprehensions regarding the game’s future. In numerous posts, gamers voiced that they held high expectations for the showcase, only to find themselves disheartened by the lack of updates. One player, for instance, remarked that Bethesda appears to be exclusively focused on the Creation Club nowadays, and would not be shocked if the developer “abandoned” the game.
### Many Starfield Fans Are Mad No New Content Was Announced at Xbox Games Showcase 2025

The disappointment is justifiable, particularly in light of the speculations surrounding Starfield’s second expansion. Last year, some rumors emerged that suggested Bethesda might be developing a new DLC titled “Starborn,” especially since parent company ZeniMax trademarked the name. Furthermore, executives such as Todd Howard indicated that there were intentions to introduce more content to the space exploration title, leading players to anticipate a new Starfield DLC expansion slated for release sometime in 2025. Nevertheless, it remains possible that the DLC, or a significant free update, could be launched soon, albeit less likely given the lack of announcements during Xbox’s principal showcase.
Speculation regarding Starfield’s PS5 port has also increased over the past few weeks. Although no official statements have been made yet, sources from inside the industry suggest that Bethesda plans to formally announce the PS5 port of Starfield shortly and aim for a release soon after the announcement, which could still occur in 2025. However, it remains uncertain how long it will take for Bethesda to adapt the game for PS5 and to introduce more substantial content to keep its player base engaged with the title.
