STARFIELD PS5 SERIES

Gamers everywhere were still hoping that Starfield and especially Elder Scrolls 6 would still be released for the PlayStation, but recent Twitter trends and an official statement from Bethesda and an insider make the answer more than clear: Elder Scrolls 6 & Starfield Are Xbox Exclusive this capitalistic world of ours speaks the language of money, and Microsoft splashed a lot of it to get exclusive Bethesda rights.

Having the luxury of playing on multiple systems, I absolutely still hate the fact that exclusivity is a thing. This is actually a sad day for all Sony gamers, and I genuinely feel for them. Whilst news on the game are sparse, once thing has been made clear now: The Elder Scrolls 6 is Xbox exclusive and will not come to the PS5. The Elder Scrolls 6 is easily one of the most anticipated games, and has been for the better part of the last decade.

We'll be learning more about what this acquisition means for Bethesda games both new and old, but for now you can catch up on the latest announcement right here.It's official: No Elder Scrolls 6 on PS5 – the game will be an Xbox Exclusive. New IPs like Starfield, however, are new communities, and could withstand an exclusive move.

'Going to guess either those talks are done or the price suddenly went way, way up.' 'Sony had been negotiating timed exclusivity on Starfield as recently as a few months ago,' he said. Khan followed up to his initial tweet saying that Sony was reportedly looking into a special deal with Bethesda's sci-fi new IP. The timing was genius, there is no denying that, but apparently the 7.5 billion dollar deal has an even greater impact than we originally thought. The week after Sony solidifies their existing exclusivity with some Bethesda games but the day before Xbox opens up preorders.' According to a recent Twitter post from Khan, 'The timing on this announcement is absolutely fascinating.

The latest report about one of the alternate timelines for Starfield comes from esteemed journalist and industry insider Imran Khan. That being said, it looks like Sony was in talks with Bethsesda for exclusive rights to their upcoming IP Starfield before the acquisition was finalized, at least according to recent reports. Moreso, Microsoft has confirmed that they will honor exclusivity deals with PlayStation for games like Deathloop and Ghostwire.
