Starfield Switch 2 rating spotted, all but confirming an upcoming port of Bethesda’s space-based RPG
Starfield, Bethesda’s critically acclaimed space-based RPG, appears to be heading to Nintendo Switch 2 following a rating approval from Taiwan’s Entertainment Software Rating Information Board. The listing was discovered by gaming news outlet Universo Nintendo this week, marking the first concrete evidence of the port’s development.
The game originally launched in 2023 on Xbox Series X/S and PC before expanding to PlayStation 5 earlier this year. A Switch 2 release would represent the title’s third platform expansion and continues Bethesda’s strategy of bringing major franchises to Nintendo’s latest hardware. The publisher already maintains a portfolio of other games on Switch 2, making the addition of Starfield a logical continuation of this cross-platform approach.
While the Taiwan rating effectively confirms the port is in development, neither Bethesda nor Nintendo has made an official announcement regarding the Switch 2 version. No release date or technical specifications have been disclosed, though the timing of the rating suggests the release may be coming within the next several months.
The move underscores how major third-party publishers are increasingly committing to Switch 2 as a viable platform for ambitious titles. Starfield’s apparent port is particularly notable given the game’s demanding technical requirements, raising questions about how Bethesda will optimize the space-based RPG for Nintendo’s portable-home hybrid system.
