The battle for console exclusives is tightly contested between PlayStation and Xbox. With each side coming up with masterfully created games, there emerges a new competitor for Xbox: Starfield. On top of that, multiple Starfield spoilers have made the game a highly anticipated title which will be released on September 5.

As the release date comes closer, there were bound to be ideas for custom Starfield-themed consoles, as happens with most exclusives. However, this custom console is quite literally impossible to get! One picture making rounds on the Internet is a custom Starfield theme applied to a console, not an Xbox console.

A big talking point about Starfield’s release is its exclusivity. With the release only on Xbox consoles and PC, a lot of gamers expressed discontent over the decision. However, since PlayStation also had its fair share of exclusives, fans understood the decision. However, it does not mean PlayStation fans could not jump on the Starfield hype train.

The console uses a white base with a variety of colors showing the take-off to the stars. Additionally, the controller also receives a special skin. The controller is what makes the custom build stand out. The detailing on the controller is incredible, with each of the buttons getting some sort of artwork around them.

Unfortunately, for PlayStation gamers, this seems as close as Starfield will get to coming on the PlayStation 5. Xbox made its intentions to retain Starfield as an Xbox exclusive quite clear.

Fans love the idea of the custom Starfield PS5

While some fans did not love the design of the console, they could not stop singing praises about the controller. In addition to the finer details on the controller, the design incorporates the touchpad into the theme. The controller looks as if it is the control panel of a spaceship.

One fan felt if Microsoft never acquired Bethesda, we might have seen it. In an alternate universe, it could have been possible. Looks like this person is a fan of Miles Morales’ Spider-Man movie.

Whether it is the Spider-Man games or Starfield, exclusives continue to be a source of debate among gamers. This skin shatters these borders in the form of art.
