It was only after acquiring ZeniMax that Microsoft’s Phil Spencer revealed that, all along, the deal had been about ‘delivering great exclusive games’ for Xbox. As the PFs explain, these releases were announced in 2018 and were not expected at that time to be Xbox exclusives. Bethesda has all but confirmed that The Elder Scrolls VI will not release on current-generation consoles. It is about the impact of Microsoft making new Call of Duty releases (which are launched every year) exclusive, as it has done for the new releases of Starfield and Elder Scrolls following the acquisition of ZeniMax in 2021. But the foreclosure concern in this case is not about past releases of Call of Duty. “Microsoft is fond of arguing that, with its prior acquisitions, it did not make the existing, already released games it acquired exclusive to Xbox. Will The Elder Scrolls 6 support mods Modding Bethesda RPGs is kind of a crucial cornerstone of PC gaming. Sony may have a point there as Microsoft didn’t outright state that it won’t make The Elder Scrolls 6 exclusive but just vaguely hinted at it, which is as good as being back at square one. The message received is that, yes, The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be on PlayStation. Sony refuted Microsoft’s recent documents and stated that Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 are Xbox exclusives but basically, Microsoft is trying to look good by not specifically mentioning any of these details. Don’t forget, this new version will be available as a free download on June 8 for everybody who owns the game on the PlayStation 5.

Sony, naturally, claims that Microsoft would monopolise the gaming industry should the deal go through while Microsoft argues that it’s still willing to share platforms and make deals. Both companies are still pleading its cases to the FTC about whether the deal should go through or not. The back and forth between Sony and Microsoft regarding what is and what isn’t an exclusive is headache-inducing at this point but The Elder Scrolls 6 particularly stings. The news arrives during the ongoing case of Microsoft attempting to acquire mega-publisher Activision Blizzard. However, Sony now claims that Xbox is making The Elder Scrolls 6 an exclusive anyway despite what the documents stated. This should be refreshing for fans, as The Elder Scrolls 6 is going to need to bring something new to the table if it wants to perform like Skyrim did.Earlier this week, PlayStation fans received a spark of hope when Microsoft documents revealed that The Elder Scrolls 6 might be coming to PS5 and won’t be an Xbox exclusive. For those that may not know, Bethesda has used the Creation Engine for Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76, so Creation Engine 2 will likely be a new and improved version of that. Dubbed the Creation Engine 2, this is to be the new technological base used for Bethesda games moving forward. The first thing that Howard mentions about The Elder Scrolls 6 in this interview is that it will use the same engine as Starfield.

Both were revealed at the same time at E3 2018, but Starfield earned a headlining spot at E3 this year. Howard's interview comments were as much about The Elder Scrolls 6 as they were about Starfield, another upcoming Bethesda game.
