Once the hype aroundStarfielddies down a bit, discussion will once again turn to the nextElder Scrollsgame. Nearly twelve years afterSkyrim, the next installment is now finally said to be in theearly stages of development. As such, Xbox head Phil Spencer has been asked whether the elusive RPG will be an Xbox exclusive.
In a recent interview withBloomberg Technology, Spencer is asked a question about exclusivity. In particular, journalist Caroline Hyde is curious about what platformsThe Elder Scrolls 6may be on. Spencer answers by saying that the company looks at things “on a case-by-case basis.”
He adds that Xbox wants to ensure that the games made by the studio are “available in many different places.” However, he specifically mentions the Xbox consoles, PC, and “via cloud,” with no mention of any other platforms.
Too early to say, really
It kind of sounds like Spencer is circling the bit when it comes toThe Elder Scrolls 6and potential exclusivity. Consider thatStarfieldbeing an Xbox Series and PC game only seems to be working out nicely for the tech giant.
As such, it’s not above the realm of possibility that Xbox may keepSkyrim‘s follow-up for its own platforms. However, we can’t say for certain, but Spencer’s response to the question does seem rather vague.
As for when it’s actually coming out, speculations suggest it might be anotherfive years until we seeTES6. By that point, we’ll be on the next generation of consoles anyway. Great. More money to spend.
