The Elder Scrolls VI will skip PS5 and isn’t coming until at least 2026 (www.theverge.com)

A document released as part of the FTC v. Microsoft case confirms what was long expected: The Elder Scrolls VI isn’t going to launch for a few years, and it isn’t coming to PlayStation. According to the new chart, which Microsoft produced for the FTC, the next Elder Scrolls game isn’t expected to launch until at least 2026 — something a Microsoft lawyer also mentioned in the court case. And much like Bethesda’s most recent games — Starfield and Redfall — it’ll be available on both PC and Xbox when it does launch.

In a statement about exclusivity attached to The Elder Scrolls VI section of the chart, which comes from an interview with Xbox head Phil Spencer in GQ, Spencer said, “In order to be on Xbox, I want us to be able to bring the full complete package of what we have. And that would be true when I think about Elder Scrolls VI.”

They’re going to skip releasing their game on a console that outsells their own 2:1?

That’s some business savvy worthy of an Elon nod right there.

Actual data shows it closer to 4:3.

MS does not care - they want to increase their marketshare

It rhymes even
