Despite previous reports revealing the game’s 2026 release window, The Elder Scrolls VI is at least five years away and is likely to release, unsurprisingly, only on PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
Today, new court documents of the FTC vs. Microsoft case surfaced online, including a summary of Microsoft’s approach following acquisitions since 2018, which includes all games released by Bethesda since its acquisition as well as the yet-to-be-released sixth entry in The Elder Scrolls series. According to the document, the game is not releasing on PlayStation 5, and its expected release window is 2026 or later. As reported on X/Twitter by Axios’ Stephen Totilo, during the testimony at the hearing, Phil Spencer clarified the game’s release date, saying that it is at least five years out, and that platforms have yet to be determined, although, back in 2022, Microsoft did say that The Elder Scrolls VI is unlikely to release on platforms other than PC and Xbox Series X|S.
I don’t believe Bethesda can make a good game anymore. I lost hope for another good ES years ago.
Todd Howard has said ES 6 will be his last Elder Scrolls. That makes me really sad. I was hoping Starfield would be his last game.
I honestly think the only way ES6 could be good would be if the writers and environmental artists of Elder Scrolls Online are a huge part of it. The core Bethesda team has shown they can’t write for shit anymore. And please please can the animators.
I wonder if the utterly generic and inoffensive stories are intentional. People LOVE to be outraged today. They tried to boycott the latest Harry Potter game because they hate J. K. Rowling. Maybe Bethesda is just trying to stay as far away from the outrage as possible, and the result is… this. Maybe all the interesting stories get canned or neutered and turned into side quests.
Wat. No.
Bethesda has had a policy of streamlining thier games and making sure the player can win everything since Oblivion. They only “play it safe” to make sure the player never loses. That’s all it is.
And it’s boring.
I think they were kinda in the right place at the right time and accidentally released some classics lol.
You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. People who buy starfield need to accept to themselves that they enjoy bad games and rewarding the companies that make them.
If the people are enjoying it then it’s not a bad game, it’s a game you don’t like.
Which is fine, spend your money where you want to.
People can like bad things. That’s why “guilty pleasures” exist.
For a long time I liked the Amazing Spider-man 2, but even then I could acknowledge that it was a terrible movie.
If you enjoy Todd Howard laughing at you then that’s fine. But at least admit you have a humiliation fetish.
I imagine you must have a pretty sad life if you find yourself spending free time insulting people who enjoy something you don’t like.
There must be some serious mental illness going on to spend time in threads about products you don’t like. I don’t like Ford vehicles, but I don’t spend my time on Ford forums insulting them and their owners because I’m not a miserable loser with nothing to fill my time.
Go find something you enjoy. Nobody is interested in your pathetic trolling.
The only thing worse than corporate cock sucking is this constant insistence that only positive opinions should be shared. If I wrote a dystopic novel about that I’d be criticized for being too heavy handed. And since enshittification is directly the fault of people like you, I’ll piss on you all I’d like thanks.

Lol? Armchair psychology much? I’m talking the shit with my friends and you’re occasionally begging for my attention like I’m your alcoholic father. Stop projecting your shit onto me.

“You don’t agree with me so you must have a mental illness”.
Nice
It has nothing to do with agreement. It’s the premise of spending time in a forum for a product you don’t like, and insulting everyone else. That screams mental illness and a miserable life.
Lots of people want the game to be better and are upset it is what it is.

Todd Howard thanks you for your service, now learn creation engine and finish his game for him while he counts his money.
