Microsoft confirms some future Bethesda games will be Xbox, PC exclusive

Microsoft has completed its $7.5 billion acquisition of ZeniMax Media, the
parent company of Bethesda Softworks -- and Xbox boss Phil Spencer has
confirmed that some future games from Bethesda will be exclusive to Xbox and
PC.

The deal was agreed between the two companies in September last year, but its
scale raised the potential for problems with gaining approval from regulatory
bodies.

Last week, the European Commission decided not to oppose the deal. With
today's confirmation, it is clear that the SEC has also allowed the
acquisition to go ahead.

"Now that everything is official, we can begin working together to deliver
more great games to everyone," said Xbox boss Phil Spencer in a statement.

"This is the next step in building an industry-leading first party studios
team, a commitment we have to our Xbox community. With the addition of the
Bethesda creative teams, gamers should know that Xbox consoles, PC, and Game
Pass will be the best place to experience new Bethesda games, including some
new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC players."

Spencer has been asked on several occasions about the potential for
Bethesda's games to be exclusive to Xbox and PC. However, this is the first
time the fact that some of its future products will not appear on rival
consoles has been so plainly spoken.

With ZeniMaX Media now part of Xbox, Microsoft has increased its first-party
development resources significantly -- from 15 studios to 23, including
leading names like Bethesda Game Studios, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango
Gameworks, and ZeniMax Online Studios.

Despite a relatively thin release slate for its new consoles, Xbox has
already confirmed that the timed PS5 exclusivity deals for Arkane's Deathloop
and Tango's Ghostwire: Tokyo will go ahead as planned.

including some new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC
players.

以後Bethesda有些新遊戲會Xbox和PC獨佔。

           我的故事充滿了混亂而又難以察覺的陰影，充滿了瘋狂和噩夢，
                    和那些不再自欺欺人地生活的人們一樣。
