Starfield "doesn't even run properly" and is "unplayable" on PS5, report fans requesting refunds from Sony: "Classic Bethesda"

A trackers alliance agent cocks her head to the side as she tries to entice you to join the organisation.

Although Bethesda Game Studios had Starfield fans excited for its big PlayStation 5 release, its launch isn't going well for some from a performance point of view – players have spent the last few days reporting various bugs and crashes while trying to enjoy Starfield on PS5, and they're not happy.

Look, I'll be the first to admit that Bethesda is no stranger to rough releases – heck, Skyrim on Switch 2 is just one recent example, with plenty before it. I love the studio's RPGs, but it doesn't have the best track record regarding game and platform launches… and Starfield on the PS5 (and Pro, for that matter) sadly offers no exception.

Folks have taken to forums like Reddit to report as much, dubbing the new port "unplayable" currently.
