Bethesda's Starfield appears headed to Nintendo's next console. A listing in Taiwan's Entertainment Software Rating Information database reveals the space RPG has received a rating for the Nintendo Switch 2, suggesting a port is in development. The game launched on PC and Xbox nearly three years ago, then came to PS5 more recently, building on its growing player base.

No official announcement has come from Bethesda, though regulatory filings like this often precede launches. The real question is how the studio will handle Starfield's demanding hardware requirements — the PC version recommends at least a GTX 1070 Ti or RX 5700 graphics card. Early tests on ProtonDB show users struggling to maintain 30 FPS even at reduced settings with FSR 3 enabled and 50% resolution scaling.

Nintendo has yet to reveal the Switch 2's full specifications, leaving questions about whether the console can handle Bethesda's ambitious open-world space adventure. A Switch 2 version would require significant visual compromises to run on potentially less powerful hardware. The regulatory listing suggests an official reveal could happen soon, though Bethesda has remained completely silent on plans.
