After the acquisition of ZeniMax by the division Xbox, many users have wondered if the games produced by the studios Bethesda will be exclusive to the platforms curated by the Redmond house: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S e xCloud. The situation has finally become clearer since Phil Spencer, well-known representative of the Xbox Game Studios, he explained the situation in an interview, hinting that the other companies will have to adapt in order to host the catalog of ZeniMax studios. Below, his words:
If you are an Xbox customer, I want you to know that this (the acquisition) is meant to bring great great exclusive games to you, which will land on the platforms where the Game Pass is.
The statement therefore suggests that exclusives may not be just for Xbox platforms, and that actually too PlayStation e Nintendo they could adjust to the situation. Although this is currently speculation, it seems that the two companies may have a way to introduce the Xbox Game Pass respectively on PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The executive of the Redmond house had not basically ruled out this event in the past, and the latter "refreshed" of the Xbox Game Studios could be the motivation that will lead - perhaps - the two competing Japanese houses to rethink it.
Users of other platforms could therefore also benefit from this acquisition, given that all Bethesda-branded games will be included in the service from day one, and a possible landing of the latter on other platforms would revolutionize the market in favor of users. We obviously await more precise statements on the matter, which will surely come with the announcement of new games by the new Xbox studio. Phil Spencer's words come just after a huge update to the Xbox Game Pass catalog, given that 20 free Bethesda games have just been confirmed.
