Starfield Petition for PS5 Port Amasses 1,000+ Signatures with Hilarious Twist

Since its creation, a petition advocating for Starfield to be exclusively available on PlayStation 5 has garnered numerous signatures. However, it is important to note that Starfield is presently only accessible on Xbox due to Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda in 2021.

It is quite uncommon for the general public's perception of a video game to significantly improve just a few months prior to its release. Nevertheless, the recent Starfield Direct presentation has managed to accomplish this feat. Lasting forty-five minutes, the showcase has been widely praised as one of the greatest in history, showcasing the remarkable achievements developers have made with nearly a year of additional development time. Initially scheduled for release on November 11, 2022, Starfield faced an indefinite delay before the announcement of its current September release date, leading many to believe it would arrive in the first half of this year.

It has been widely known that Starfield will not be available on PlayStation consoles, but that hasn't deterred one gamer from attempting to change this decision. Benjamin Dickey, the creator of a Change.org petition, boldly demands that Starfield be made a PS5 exclusive. The petition acknowledges that Bethesda games have been accessible on PlayStation for many years. However, the strength and coherence of Benjamin's arguments begin to weaken from this point onward.

The claim made in the next line is that the mentioned Bethesda games "perform better... run better, and sell better [on PlayStation]," with an incorrect spelling of "Phill" Spencer's name, specifically targeting the head of Xbox for "taking them away." Bethesda has previously apologized to PlayStation fans who were disappointed that Starfield would not be available on the platform. The rest of the article consists of a series of personal attacks against Xbox fans and certain YouTubers, including some who do not even produce gaming-related content. Despite this, the petition has managed to gather 946 signatures at the time of writing.

When individuals sign a petition on Change.org, they have the option to leave a comment explaining their reasons for signing. Typically, this is done to show support for the cause being advocated. However, amusingly, the majority of comments on this petition tell the author to "get a life" and make fun of the absurdity of the demand. It is unclear whether the petition is sincere or an elaborate joke, but the fact that it calls for Starfield to be made a PlayStation exclusive, rather than simply requesting a PlayStation port, suggests that the latter is more likely.

Starfield releases for PC and Xbox Series X/S on September 6.
