The Elder Scrolls 6 All But Confirmed to Be an Xbox Exclusive

Reverb · November 2021

It will be a Microsoft product, released on Microsoft platforms: windows, Xbox, and game pass. Surely this isn’t a surprise.

To know howTES6 will be release just look at starfield which will be released on Xbox and PC they will do the same thing with TES6. Also Microsoft bought Bethesda to better compete against Sony

But even if - Skyrim become so popular not because of its great quality, because we all know it is bugged af, even 10 years after original release, but mainly because of modding community that repair most of bugs (like UESP Patch, without it game with shield is unplayable -_- ) and create many great improvements.

So... If Todd want go console way, i can only say Good Luck. And take my popcorn, cause it will be probably more entertaining spectacle than console release of CyberPunk 2077 ^^

IGN is just reporting on what the heads of Xbox development team keep telling us and reaffirming it after people tweet at them saying they are lying. This fact has been confirmed many, many times. It will be on Xbox, PC and Gamepass streaming service. They will be released on all 3 of these services at the same time.

Don't know why people are holding out hope for a Playstation release. Microsoft didn't pay all that money for Bethesda so they could share.

You knew what it was the day this was announced.

They will miss out on a heck of a lot of sales if they make it exclusive.

No they wont. PS has proven that exclusives make more money on both sales of the game and consoles. Microsoft has proven they can make a ton of sales by doing play anywhere. You can play with Gamepass their games on Xbox, PC and play from the cloud on any device, like an Android tablet.

Sony fans yelled for years and years how PS was the better game console because it had Exclusives. MS played nice for many years but finally decided to play Sony's game and the first thing Sony fans say. But you will lose sales. Its a funny stance to take IMO.

Side note, Microsoft will be coming out with a Dongle for your TV, like a Chromecast or a Roku. So you will be able to play Xbox games with a low price point.

I meant if they exclude PC, which will probably be the majority of sales.

Honestly, if whether it's exclusive or not is the biggest issue in someone's life - I'd like their life!!! I have far more things to worry about than whether I'll be able to play a game or not.

For some people it's the thing keeping them sane from the other issues but I know what you mean.

Again I think people need to understand TES6 will be release on PC they just won’t release PlayStation

We'll all be dead and buried?

Yup. I play a lot of Bethesda games. More than any other publisher. It confirmed my decision to jump from PS to XBox back in January of this year, and I ain't looking back.

It has not been confirmed at all. Very likely, yes, but still absolutely not confirmed.

Ok Hi, so yes this isn't exactly ESO related, but is elder scrolls related and Microsoft purchase of ZOS related. So we all know and remember a while back Microsoft to Purchase ZOS and this took place and we we're all worried ESO would become a windows based game, The ZOS manager assured us nothing would change and they would still have control of their game and or games.

Today I just found out that it's being suggested that The Elder Scrolls 6 All But Confirmed to Be an Xbox Exclusive, not only suggested, but IGN is confirming.

I do not have any consoles. Period. My history and I will make a long story short and why I'm concerned , frustrated, and upset about this.

1. I have had all the hard physical copies of elder scrolls since right up to Oblivion.

2. I Purchased a physical copy of Skyrim, but found out I could not play it, unless I downloaded and used 3rd party Steam.

3. Since then that one game cost me over 10,000 plus games on steam I randomly purchased and I was only there for Skyrim.

4. ESO came out. Nuff said. Still on steam.

5, Now ES 6 is coming, and I'm not even going to have the chance to play it, because MICROSOFT finally dug that last 6 inch fingernail into the backs at ZOS yet again taking superiority on the gaming field.

Is this sadness really true? Will is be exclusive only for the release later to then become available on other platforms and especially PC? Because if it is truly exclusive to 1 console, then for me, this game , and it's world, just died, a sad, burning, horrible death.

You probably can play it on PC with XBox Game Pass.

Better hope Todd does not see this or "Skyrim: The Keurig Wars" will be coming soon!

It’s a business and they made a decision and consumers will make one as well. I could understand exclusively on Xbox for a year but to not offer to customers on PlayStation will affect revenue

Hurbster · November 2021

I'd quite like to play Spiderman on my XBox but that isn't going to happen either.

NewBlacksmurf · November 2021

Knowing who owns them, I don’t think anyone should think otherwise BUT don’t confuse xbox exclusive to mean excluding PC.

That’s just not been the case for studios xbox owns, also many games can be played a number of ways so I would hold tight for now.

Maybe take the time to learn more about the full xbox ecosystem when not using a console to see if that aligns.

I am not sure where the disconnect is here. Almost 8 billion spent. Bethesda has a contract for one game that's a PS exclusive, after that, it's all Xbox and Windows device for what ever they make. If they make a game for PS, my guess it will be something like Elder Scrolls Online, where it's a sub based game.

The Xbox team keeps saying confirmed on ES6 and the new space game they are making. Every time people start asking on any Bethesda game, they say yup, exclusive. Just google their tweets and interviews. It's black and white.

IF i have to regisdter with "steam" or ANY other thing to play es6 on PC then i will not be buying es6.
i want to simply purchase es6 copy and take it home and play, if that is not able to happen then i wont be buying it.
not for PC
not for xbox
nothing, done with the stupidity.
just my hones feedback.
but i dont believe we will ever even see es6 anyway, from the article i just read howard said that right now they are starting es6 and it will be "atleast" another 5 years b4 its released.
if thats true, we wont be playing on these platforms by then anyway, so, far im concerned skyrim was the last and final es installment.

Hey folks,
