Makes sense. Microsoft own Bethesda and have every right to make the game exclusive to their platforms.

Of course it will be. Is this even news? Buy a PC or Xbox... the end. LOL

Shocking. Also, 2026 looks good.

Not at all surprised that it would be exclusive given Starfield. And this is 5 years down the line when they can progressively play less nice to get their buyout.

2026 or later.
My bet is the latter.

Not at all surprised. I expect all Bethesda IPs to be Xbox/PC only. That includes Doom, ES, Fallout and any new title not released.
Games like ESO and Fallout 76 are still running and it wouldn’t make sense for MS to pull them of PlayStation at the expense of pissing off existing players who have put a shed load of time and money into those titles.

GTA VI has to come out "soon".
If we're lucky it could be out late 2024. Most likely it's a 2025 game but it could be delayed to 2026. ES VI seems like it won't hit 2026... maybe 2027 or 2028 whenever this generation ends.

If these games weren't way better to experience on PC, I'd have had to buy an Xbox.

I love how Totilo is trying to make something out of nothing:
Love how the use of "technically" can be used to create a tweet and make surprising Pikachu face afterwards.

Yeah but it won't be Elder Scrolls so they can spit all they want.

I don’t trust Sony can make like a really good RPG yet. So far, the games they have made can just be categorized as RPG-lite and more actiony.
I’m hoping to be proven wrong though.

Nobody has issue with this.
Is the bullshit vague statements constantly released by good guy Phil Spencer.
How he doesn't want to break up existing communities for ips that already exist on other platforms.
How he hates exclusives
Case by case basis...
Need I go on?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Well of course, did anyone expect otherwise ?

Of course, but a lot can change in ~5 years, especially if Xbox continues to fail and Starfield doesn't move the needle enough.

But on the other hand? It's not Elder Scrolls, so you can have good looking elves without extensive modding.

Can't wait for you to post your next thread, OP: "God of War is exclusive to Playstation"

Yes, absolutely. They’re the same. Of course.

I must have missed where God of War 1-3 were huge multi-platform hits until PlayStation bought up the publisher and despite playing fast & loose about their intentions before the acquisition closed then promptly canceled the versions of games in development for Xbox

Well, yes, you are right. But this is a different kind of 'shit changes' situation. These slides are from before those games' Xbox ports were released, hence the platform names missing. They couldn't mention or talk about them before the contractually obligated terms.

I'm just reporting the news; if you don't like it there's an ignore thread button right there.

Some of you people who do not own or want an Xbox sure love Phil Spencer for some reason. You hang on his every word.
It's longing for a similar charismatic personality in different eco-systems.

Phil. He said that they haven't decided on the platforms and exclusivity yet.

What does an Xbox exclusive mean? If I want to play the game I am forced to buy an Xbox? That’s not the case with Xbox games at all…

Xbox is expected to jump into next gen 2 years early to have an advantage like the 360 days
To do that they'll need games and this could be exclusive to that next gen xbox then comes out a year later to PC and Xbox Series old
