Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has shared more details with Bloomberg regarding the company’s acquisition of Bethesda. According to Spencer, Microsoft will honor PS5 exclusivity agreements with Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo. Games after that will be available on other consoles in a “case-by-case basis.” Here are the excerpts courtesy of Bloomberg:
Recently however, Bethesda has been working more tightly with Sony. Bethesda had previously agreed to debut two of its upcoming games, Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo, on Sony’s new PlayStation rather than Xbox. Both games were announced as “timed console exclusives,” meaning that they would be restricted to the PlayStation 5 for a fixed period of time before coming to Xbox.
Microsoft will keep that commitment, Spencer said in an interview. Future games, like Starfield, will be available for Xbox, PC and Microsoft’s Game Pass video-game service. “We’ll take other consoles on a case-by-case basis,” Spencer said.
