![]() Oh, and since this will be an Xbox published title, it will also be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one.įor more info on Starfield, head over to There you have it, folks. But wow, I didn’t think it was this far along. The game was further along in development than many of us assumed. ![]() The news was also announced via a new video from Bethesda called “Into the Starfield: The Endless Pursuit.” In this video, Director Todd Howard, Studio Director Angela Browder, and Art Director Matt Carofano discuss how Bethesda Game Studios’ ambitions, passions and history have shaped the studio and how they are looking to the future with Starfield. That’s just under a year until the game is released. According to this email, Starfield now has a release date of November 11, 2022. According to a new email we just received from Bethesda, Starfield has a release date - and it’s sooner than you think. Because of that, I think the best is yet to come for both sides.Well, Xbox and Bethesda just put a very nice holiday gift under the tree for everyone awaiting Starfield. It comes down to the quality of the games we get to enjoy. But for gamers, it shouldn’t matter who is winning these silly console wars. Big games like God of War, Uncharted 4, The Last of Us Part II and Horizon Zero Dawn helped them succeed, and Microsoft have finally realised that’s what they need if they want to reclaim the top spot. Sony have been dominating the exclusivity battle for a few years now. Many people will be happy to own two consoles if both are releasing games they care about.Īt the end of the day, competition is what this is all about. Although that doesn’t mean they won’t come back. Lots of PlayStation owners won’t want to miss out and it could be that some jump ship. They have lost their share of two of gaming’s biggest franchises, and a hotly anticipated new IP in Starfield. This might all sound like a huge problem for Sony. It’s just not going to happen.Ĭredit: Bethesda Game Studios What does this mean for PS5? Don’t go expecting a ‘day one’ launch on PS5 for these titles, though. What are the chances of that, though? I’d say it’s unlikely, but not impossible. Of course, Microsoft could decide a few years after release that there’s a bit of money to be made by dropping them for PlayStation. These three games will undoubtedly be huge for Xbox. Especially after E3 2021 and everything I’ve discussed above. This likely means previous Bethesda mega-hits Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be staying put, too.Īs for future entries in those franchises – The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 – as well as Starfield, it seems increasingly unlikely they’ll ever grace the PS5. Games where an exclusivity agreement existed prior to Microsoft’s purchase of Bethesda will be honoured (such as Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo which are timed PS5 exclusives). While there’s no word just yet about the platform availability of this particular game, it seems obvious from E3 that it’ll be Xbox-only.Ĭredit: Bethesda Game Studios Xbox Exclusive Games: Will Bethesda games be on PlayStation?Ĭertain Bethesda games will still be available on PlayStation for contractual reasons. It’s slated for release sometime after Starfield (which launches on 11th November 2022), so it’s still far away. Same goes for the The Elder Scrolls VI, which was announced way back at E3 2018. A substantial number of people would be totally willing to purchase an Xbox Series X|S console to play it. But as one of the most popular series in gaming, Microsoft would be silly to release it (at least immediately) for the PS5. There’s been no specific comment about what platforms it will be coming to. Which brings us to The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5.įallout 5 hasn’t been announced yet, but some information is out there (here’s what we know so far). Head of Xbox Phil Spencer said of Game Pass: “This is about delivering great exclusive games for you that ship on platforms where Game Pass exists.” After all, any Xbox exclusives games list would’ve been pretty short prior to the acquisition. Xbox Game Pass was, of course, one of the main drivers behind Microsoft’s purchase of Bethesda. Microsoft were also keen to point out that gamers can play it ‘day one’ with Xbox Game Pass. And after months of speculation, it was confirmed at E3 2021 that Starfield will be an Xbox Series X|S and PC exclusive. Will Starfield be Xbox exclusive? It’s one of the most anticipated titles of the last decade. Credit: Bethesda Game Studios Will Bethesda games be Xbox exclusives?
