This news came as part of a Bethesda Joins Xbox Roundtable stream, where company figureheads talked about how Bethesda and Microsoft have had a longstanding relationship over the years yada yada yada. But during the show, Phil Spencer implied that Bethesda games will only be coming to systems that support Game Pass, which, in theory, would contradict the statement put out earlier this week that said “some” Bethesda games would be exclusive to Xbox and Windows. But he also says some games that had “a legacy” on other platforms would still come to those systems. So who the fuck knows, at this point?
At this point, it’s probably just safe to assume big Bethesda games will be exclusive to Xbox and Windows. But it’s been frustrating watching Microsoft repeatedly contradict itself since the acquisition was put in motion back in September. Or, you know, just within a week of its last statement on the issue.
