  • A new rating for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Starfield has been spotted online
  • The port has been rated by the Taiwan Entertainment Software Rating Information board
  • Bethesda has yet to formally announce the port

A Nintendo Switch 2 version of Starfield is seemingly real as Bethesda's space-faring role-playing game (RPG) gets a new rating.

As reported by Universo Nintendo, Starfield has officially been rated for the Switch 2 by the Taiwan Entertainment Software Rating Information board.

The screenshot shows that it was filed in its database on April 15, 2026, with an ESRB rating of "R", meaning "Restricted", as it features "violence, drugs, and inappropriate language."

Bethesda and Nintendo have yet to officially announce a Switch 2 port, but this rating more or less confirms that it is at least on its way. Microsoft will be holding an Xbox Games Showcase event on June 7, which seems like the perfect time to announce it.

Rumors about a potential Starfield Switch 2 port have been circulating for a while, with the first rumblings cropping up late last year. The same rumors also claimed that a PlayStation 5 port was on the way, which proved true when it was finally released earlier this month.

The PS5 version offered new features for the DualSense Wireless Controller and two exclusive graphics modes for PS5 Pro: Pro Performance Mode and Pro Visual Mode.

Starfield, which was originally launched as an Xbox and PC exclusive in September 2023, also just received two huge expansions, Terran Armada and Free Lanes.

Terran Armada added brand new premium content, while the free Free Lanes patch introduced a new cruise mode that finally lets players travel between planets within systems while spending time inside their ship.
