I doubt Phil will still be in his current role by the time TESVI comes out in 2024 or whatever. Very few execs last that long in such thin-air positions.

 

[Darlingcognito]

Geez move on already.

 

[Saint Boot]

This feels like a bait thread in order to get salty Sony fans like me to say something that can be reported for console warring.

 

[SoloKingRobert]

Microsoft made the the right move at the right time. 2 big games releasing in a few years within each other....

Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6

Surely there's no one still thinking TES6 and other Bethesda games won't be exclusive to Xbox/PC?

 

[nikolino840]

I don't think so. If it is a MS owned franchise then I think it will only be on Xbox, MS Store, and Steam. The only one I'm uncertain about is Indiana Jones.

Yeah but there's always todd howard and bethesda soft. so close to microsoft and spencer himself

 

[Midn1ght]

No imagine if Microsoft buys Square Enix.

No imagine if Microsoft buys Square Enix.

Extremely unlikely. I keep hearing about a Sega acquisition though. Wednesday?

 

[The Eradicator]

It wasn't first party then, it is now. They are funding development of the game, let's see what happens with Sunset Overdrive 2 and if people still feel the same then.

Sunset Overdrive IP is owned by Sony now. They acquired it when they bought Insomniac

 

[Saber]

And nothing of value was lost to me.

And even if this comes to an another plataform in the future I would still not buy it. Bethesda games leave a very bad taste on me...not gonna spend another dime on their shit games.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

It will come to PS5 eventually, there's way too much money to be lost otherwise.

 

[ManaByte]

I am sure the specs will be announced in 2026, and we will know for sure. You can play Skyrim on Linux.

The PS5 is Linux based.

Exactly just like Microsoft buying all the Zenimax franchises, they are all first party now.

Sarah bond could be the next boss (or mattrick)

 

[Valonquar]

As far as I am concerned every Elder Scrolls game may as well be a PC exclusive. Mods are the bread and butter of the entire series.

 

[lefty1117]

Sony locks up SPiderman DLC for Avengers, and MS responds with this ... nice

 

[Gaelyon]

Do you need Windows to play it on Steam?

With Steam Deck you don't need windows at all though.

 

[Strider Highwind]

We all just lost.

Just picked mine up

“It’s not about punishing any other platform, like I fundamentally believe all of the platforms can continue to grow,” Spencer told GQ. “But in order to be on Xbox, I want us to be able to bring the full complete package of what we have. And that would be true when I think about Elder Scrolls VI. That would be true when I think about any of our franchises.”

What the hell does that even mean.

 

[YukiOnna]

Do these people not know that Bethesda was bought by MS? Of course it’s exclusive

Considering the last time this was brought up people were still deluding themselves into thinking it wasn't exclusive to MS Ecosystem, I'm thinking no.

 

[Sosokrates]

Its going to be huge when it comes out.

 

[Draugoth]

Do we really need an article everytime?

Guess IGn shoould start making articles on God of War isnt coming to Xbox

 

[RoadHazard]

I'm fully aware. I was explaining the difference between a series that has always been exclusive (GoW, Horizon, Halo, Forza, whatever) to one that used to be multiplatform but is now being taken away from half the player base.

Sure, Sunset Overdrive 2 would be kind of similar if it ever happens (I doubt it), but that was never multiplatform either. It went from exclusive to one platform to being owned by their competitor. Like Banjo or any other Rare IP when MS bought them.

How about Street Fighter?

 

[Kokoloko85]

I dont really care either way. Wasnt a fan of Skyrim and Bethesda Has fallen off the wagon last gen

 

[Saint Boot]

What the hell does that even mean.

It means the opposite of what he says. it means he taking the biggest shaft he can find and shoving it in us Sony fans asses and the Xbox trolls (Not all of them, but they do exist) Are loving every minute of it.
