Is The Elder Scrolls 6 Going to Be Xbox Series X Console Exclusive?
At the moment of publishing, platforms haven't been announced for The Elder Scrolls 6, so there's nothing Microsoft has to uphold. For example, we know it's honoring Bethesda's exclusivity deals with Sony that will see Deathloop and GhostWire: Tokyo release as PS5 timed consoles exclusives. However, these deals were announced before the acquisition.
While Halo Infinite is going to be big, and while Xbox Game Studios has big gamers in the bullpen, it doesn't have anything as big as The Elder Scrolls 6. The question will be: will Microsoft want to lose software sales by not releasing it on PS5 in order to push Game Pass subscriptions and Xbox hardware sales? It's certainly a possibility they won't release the game on PS5 for these very reasons, even if it means taking a bit of a PR hit in the process.
Adding to this, Microsoft insider Jez Corden says that Starfield will not be coming to PS5. For those that don't know: this is the big new sci-fi game from Bethesda Game Studios, the team behind the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series. If this is true, it would suggest that The Elder Scrolls 6 will also be withheld from the PS5.
So far, Bethesda and Microsoft have not addressed this elephant in the room, and they won't for as long as possible. What they have said is that future releases from Bethesda -- minus the more imminent ones already locked into place -- will operate under a case-by-case basis. If you take this as genuine, it means Microsoft will not have a blanket policy when it comes to releasing Bethesda games on other console platforms. That said, that's if you take this statement as genuine. There's no reason to think Microsoft and Bethesda are lying, but this is pretty standard PR speak and wholly non-committal.

WRLD I want a big fan of the elder scrolls online but a HUGE fan of Skyrim and oblivion, if they utilise online, I hope they do it right. Even if it's simply a solo campaign I'd be happy. Especially with the power of the Xbox of love to see an even bigger map :3
Right, elder scrolls online was okay but I wish we could actually get like a Skyrim online ya know? First person, sword fighting, none of the bullshit hud

They should. they need some banger exclusive like PlayStation has that makes people buy their console.
Sure they lose out on PlayStation purchases but there are so many people out there who have been waiting for this game for forever and would probably buy an Xbox just for it. Hopefully it releases on pc too.
