The exclusivity status of The Elder Scrolls 6 was one of the burning questions following Microsoft’s $7.5 billion buyout of Bethesda back in 2021. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has danced around the issue, most recently insisting a decision had yet to be made. But now, according to one of Microsoft’s own documents, the debate is over: The Elder Scrolls 6 is set to skip PlayStation 5.
Of particular interest is section on The Elder Scrolls 6, which, according to the document, will not launch on PS5 and instead launch on Xbox and PC only. Its release date is down as TBC, but the game is “expected 2026 or later”. Microsoft has yet to make a formal announcement about the launch platforms or release window for The Elder Scrolls 6. IGN has asked Microsoft for comment.
Axios reporter Stephen Totilo tweeted a freshly unsealed document lifted from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) versus Microsoft trial over the Activision Blizzard buyout, and it includes a list of announced Bethesda games along with their platform and release window intentions.
