That means plans for "some new [Bethesda] titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC players," Microsoft announced this morning. It's still unclear how many Bethesda games will be exclusive to Microsoft's platforms going forward or if those titles will come from the studio's well-established franchises, like The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Prey, and the The Evil Within. But Microsoft says additional current Bethesda Softworks games will be coming to Xbox Game Pass later this week, joining current subscription offerings including Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online, Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Dishonored 2, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 76. lol --- Ryzen 3800x, 6900XT, 32 gig, 970pro, Asus Strix x570-E FC: SW-8431-3263-1243 <cite>pogo_rabid posted [p:951539801] in Microsoft ...

Hayame Zero 03/10/21 1:43:39 PM #13:	In terms of the ones that are "some" exclusives, it will probably be smaller-scale titles. I still stand by what I said after the merger: there's no way major IPs like TES, Doom, and Fallout are going to be permanent Xbox/PC exclusives. That would be a sales disaster, and wouldn't be enough to get people who don't play on those to shell out hundreds of dollars to shift brands. --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame Zero posted [p:951561753] in Microsoft ...

Elder Scrolls is gonna be on PC/Xbox at worst and a timed exclusive at best. Either way people gonna stop acting like this is an outrage, because Microsoft did this shit all the time in the 360 era too. Either way Im excited.

Xerun 03/10/21 6:08:45 PM #32:	I just cant see this happening with flagship titles. From a stock holder perspective not selling the big titles to Sony player ship base is just massive revenue lost and theyd not be happy with management making that kind of decision. From the numbers I can see which may be wrong, but Playstation 5 has outsold Xbox, 2 to 1. Making an Elder Scrolls game exclusive to only Xbox would boost Xbox sales but not by enough to bridge that gap. Ill look forward to wait and see how this plays out but I just cant see it happening. Either way, playing Bethesda games on anything but PC is a travesty.

The shareholders in this case are banking on Gamepass subs and having major exclusives are the best ways to get them. How many times does it have to be explained that MS doesn't care about the traditional sales model anymore, they want subs not individual sales. --- Oda break tracker 2021- 1 (2) \| THE Ohio State: 7-1 \| Las Vegas Raiders: 8-8 <cite>voldothegr8 posted [p:951572741] in Microsoft ...

Darmik 03/11/21 2:55:10 PM #40:	Phil Spencer: "I listen to the podcasts and all the questions, so I'm gonna try to be as clear as I can, because that's what I, I just think it's fair. So obviously I can't sit here and say every Bethesda game is exclusive, because we know that's not true. There's contractual obligations that we're going to see through as we always do in every one of these instances. We have games that exist on other platforms, and we're going to go support those games on the platforms they're on. There's communities of players. We love those communities and we'll continue to invest in them. And even in the future, there might be things that have either contractual things or legacy on different platforms that we'll go do. But if you're an Xbox customer, the thing I want you to know is this is about delivering great exclusive games for you that ship on platforms where Game Pass exists, and that's our goal. That's why we're doing this. That's the root of this partnership that we're building, and the creative capability we will be able to bring to market for our Xbox customers is going to be the best it's ever been for Xbox after we're done here." Said at their roundtable a couple of hours ago So basically PlayStation will still get Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Online and their timed exclusives. Other games in the future also may have contractual agreements (probably Indiana Jones) and the rest are exclusive. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:951602867] in Microsoft ...
