It’s fair to say that The Elder Scrolls series is one of the most popular franchises of all time, which is why fans have been waiting for more details since the sixth mainline installment was announced at E3 2018.
Yes, it has been that long since The Elder Scrolls VI was revealed, and it’s even more perplexing that nearly six years later, Bethesda has yet to reveal story specifics, a release date, or even a sample of gameplay. All we’ve had is the 2018 announcement teaser, which included a rendered image of Tamriel with the Elder Scrolls VI logo.
Microsoft now owns Bethesda’s parent firm ZeniMax Media, having completed the $7.5 billion acquisition in 2021. This, of course, means that Bethesda products will be exclusive to Xbox and PC from that point forward, leaving PlayStation players disappointed that they would not be able to play games like The Elder Scrolls VI or Fallout 5 unless they purchase an Xbox or have a powerful PC.
However, others think that Microsoft may not keep all Bethesda titles unique to the green brand to appease global market regulators during its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
Documents released during Microsoft’s court battle with the US Federal Trade Commission in December 2022 (which it eventually won) showed to those in attendance that three upcoming titles would be console exclusive to Xbox.
Since late 2022, Bethesda has released Hi-Fi Rush, Redfall, and Starfield. This has led some to suspect (including video game journalist Stephen Totilo) that The Elder Scrolls VI may be coming to PlayStation 5.
Having said that, current rumors claim that Hi-Fi Rush may be coming to the PlayStation 5 this year. It’s also worth noting that the green brand’s upcoming console exclusives include Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, and others.
Rumors of Microsoft releasing The Elder Scrolls VI on PlayStation 5 are just that unless confirmed otherwise. Hopefully, there is some truth to these rumors because many fans have been waiting for its release, and it would be great if every fan could play The Elder Scrolls VI.
Furthermore, Microsoft will undoubtedly make a lot of money by bringing the next installment of Bethesda’s highly awaited fantasy RPG to the blue brand.
