Phil Spencer Confirms The Elder Scrolls VI Is An Xbox Exclusive

Xbox chief Phil Spencer basically confirmed that The Elder Scrolls VI will be an Xbox exclusive in a interview with GQ.

The news appears in a section on Bethesda, which officially joined Microsoft in March. Starfield, Bethesda’s next sci-fi game, has already been confirmed as an Xbox and PC exclusive, and “Spencer says he sees the same for The Elder Scrolls VI,” according to GQ.

A quote in Spencer’s article goes a step further. “But to be on Xbox, I want us to be able to bring the full full package of what we have. And that would be true when I think of Elder Scrolls VI. It would be true when I think of one of our franchises.

Let everything leave open the possibility that The Elder Scrolls VI may not be an Xbox exclusive, and we asked Microsoft if they could confirm that. But Spencer has been pretty blunt about how Microsoft will bring Xbox exclusive games as part of the deal with Bethesda.

Speaking at a panel discussion shortly after the acquisition was finalized, Spencer said, “If you’re an Xbox customer, the thing I want you to know is it’s all about you. offer great, exclusive games that ship to platforms where Game Pass exists. , ” Spencer said. “This is our goal, this is why we are doing this, this is the root of this partnership that we are building. “

Spencer also mentioned exclusives in a blog post announcing the deal had been made. “With the addition of Bethesda Creative Teams, gamers should know that Xbox consoles, PC and Game Pass will be the best places to experience new Bethesda games, including new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox gamers. and PC, ” he said.

Taking Spencer’s statements collectively, it seems extremely likely that The Elder Scrolls VI will only launch on Xbox and PC. Unfortunately we do not know when the highly anticipated game will be released, which was revealed in a brief teaser in 2018.
