During a US Federal Trade Commission hearing on a deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer said one of the reasons he bought ZeniMax was Sony’s exclusive rights to Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo. The company has learned that Starfield was also planned as a PlayStation exclusive. And that would slow down the Xbox even more in the console war. Microsoft was quick to buy ZeniMax to stay competitive. So far, according to Spencer, the issue of The Elder Scrolls VI exclusivity has not been resolved. However, the game, as it turned out, will not be released until 2028. Although the head of Xbox admitted that he had previously made public statements that the new Scrolls would only be released on Xbox and PC. Spencer also clarified that Minecraft didn’t make it to the PlayStation 5 because Sony didn’t send development kits to Microsoft.
