Xbox’s Phil Spencer has provided an update on the highly anticipated game, The Elder Scrolls 6, stating that it is still “many years away.” During the Microsoft FTC trial, Spencer was cautious about revealing the platforms the game will be available on, stating that it is difficult to determine at this time.
The uncertainty surrounding the platforms for The Elder Scrolls 6 has led to speculation about whether the game will be a console exclusive. It is even possible that the game may skip the current generation of consoles altogether.
There was some confusion during the trial regarding the potential exclusivity of The Elder Scrolls 6. Spencer had previously stated in a deposition that the game would skip PlayStation, but he now claims to not recall making such a statement.
In November 2021, Spencer hinted that The Elder Scrolls 6 would be an Xbox exclusive without explicitly confirming it. He emphasized the importance of bringing the full package of their franchises to Xbox, suggesting that the game may be exclusive to the platform.
The release date for The Elder Scrolls 6 remains unknown, but it is not surprising considering Bethesda Game Studios is currently focused on launching Starfield in September on Xbox Series X and S and PC. The Elder Scrolls 6 is the next big project for the studio, and details about the game are not expected to be revealed for several years.
For more information, readers can explore Spencer’s comments regarding PlayStation 5 dev kits and Microsoft’s concerns about Starfield potentially skipping Xbox. Additionally, a recap of the first day of the Microsoft FTC trial is available.
