[CitizenVectron]

 

Maybe we'll finally get a new god damned engine for Fallout/Elder Scrolls.

 

[The def star]

Just saw this. This is pretty big.

[Keyser_Soze]

So you're telling me that not Elder Scrolls game from Obsidian, Avowed, can officially become an Elder Scrolls game now? 🤔

[Paperclyp]

Play all your favorite Bethesda games, now not on PS5!

Now on Game Pass!

[Brian]

Game pass price is going up for sure if it gets Elder Scrolls, Doom, Wolfenstein, and others day 1 on the service. Smart to announce a day before preorders open. Let’s gooooooo!

[Remarkableriots]

So what happens to those two PS 5 timed exclusive games?

[Brian]

After almost a lifetime of working together, we're excited to be joining our longest and closest partner, @Xbox.

I think they will hold up their contracts for those like they did with Outerworlds. But everything after that will probably move to XBox/PC/Switch exclusivity.

Ah, seems like a so not Bethesda game.

[The def star]

This deal is pretty huge in that it will entice more PC players to join Game Pass.

[Brian]

Also of note:

- Xbox Game Pass has reached a new milestone of over 15 million subscribers

- Microsoft will grow from 15 to 23 creative studio teams and will be adding Bethesda's iconic franchises to Xbox Game Pass

- Future games (Starfield) will launch into Game Pass on day 1

Straight cash!

 

This is a HUGE gaming deal and comes at a time when Xbox needed a content infusion. Our story is out on @TheTerminal and will hit the web soon.

Huge, so how is that Deathloop exclusivity period going to work now?

I think it was a launch exclusive to begin with so maybe after 6 months to a year it will be released everywhere else.

I was interested in Deathloop... so now I guess I'll just wait for it to come to gamepass. Also do you guys think they'll put Skyrim out AGAIN?

[Pikachu]

Skyrim Game Pass Edition!

Give me a Morrowind Remaster or a Fallout New Vegas 2 by Obsidian. 

[SaysWho?]

Sony just doesn't have the cash to make aquisitions like this. 

[Pikachu]

Guess this was their back up plan when the Bungie talks fell through.

Plus as we discussed in that thread WB is worthless without easy access to DC IP.
