Phil Spencer asked about Elder Scrolls 6 exclusivity, gives vague response
Once the hype around Starfield dies down a bit, discussion will once again turn to the next Elder Scrolls game. Nearly twelve years after Skyrim, the next installment is now finally said to be in the early stages of development. As such, Xbox head Phil Spencer has been asked whether the elusive RPG will be an Xbox exclusive.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg Technology, Spencer is asked a question about exclusivity. In particular, journalist Caroline Hyde is curious about what platforms The Elder Scrolls 6 may be on. Spencer answers by saying that the company looks at things “on a case-by-case basis.”
He adds that Xbox wants to make sure that the games made by the studio are “available in many different places.” However, he specifically mentions the Xbox consoles, PC, and “via cloud,” with no mention of any other platforms.
It kind of sounds like Spencer is circling the bit when it comes to The Elder Scrolls 6 and potential exclusivity. Consider that Starfield being an Xbox Series and PC game only seems to be working out nicely for the tech giant.
As such, it’s not above the realm of possibility that Xbox may keep Skyrim‘s follow-up for its own platforms. However, we can’t say for certain, but Spencer’s response to the question does seem rather vague.
As for when it’s actually coming out, speculations suggest it might be another five years until we see TES6. By that point, we’ll be on the next generation of consoles anyway. Great. More money to spend.
