In the meantime, Bethesda is also working on other highly anticipated titles such as Starfield and Redfall, both of which are confirmed Xbox exclusives. Industry experts speculate that the game may not launch until 2026 or later. It is worth noting that The Elder Scrolls VI is still several years away from release.

The decision to make The Elder Scrolls VI exclusive to Xbox aligns with this strategy. Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda in 2021 was seen as a potential stumbling block for future PlayStation releases, as the company has been focusing on promoting its Xbox brand and boosting console sales.

The Elder Scrolls series has had a history of mixed exclusivity, with some games being available on multiple platforms while others were exclusive to Xbox or PC for a limited time before being released on PlayStation. This news has disappointed PlayStation 5 owners who were hoping to experience the game on their consoles.

The documents also indicate that the game is still at least three years away from release. According to documents revealed as part of a court case against Microsoft, The Elder Scrolls VI, the highly anticipated next installment in the Elder Scrolls game series, will be an Xbox exclusive.
