The hammer blow that Microsoft handed out to the competition earlier this week with the ‘sudden’ purchase of Zenimax / Bethesda, still rumbles. However you turn it or turn it around and how you look at it as a fanboy or girl, it really is a thing. The Xbox platform and Game Pass have suddenly added an enormous amount of strong content with Bethesda. And you already notice that in the hype around Microsoft’s consoles. The question now is how the deal will work out, how the purchase will be worked out in terms of platform exclusives and whether Microsoft has now been completely bought out? JJ has an answer to all those questions. In any case, it will be really spectacular times …
Worden de singleplayer games Bethesda Xbox exclusive?
Over the past few years, Microsoft has released quite a few different types of Xboxes. You already had the Xbox One, the Xbox One X and the Xbox One S. And now also the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S are added. Are you getting a little confused yet? For the hardcore gamer there will probably be no problem to differentiate the consoles, but for the more casual gamer this is a problem. This is only evident from the sales figures of the Xbox One X. These seem to have increased enormously (with a capital O) compared to previous sales figures. Nice for the Xbox One X, but of course not what Microsoft had in mind. JJ talks about this matter.
