Will Xbox take revenge on PlayStation with Starfield? A question worth thinking regarding!
After several months of waiting and many leaks, Starfield is finally here! Available from September 1 for pre-orders and September 6 for others, the galactic RPG already seems to appeal to a large number of gamers.
In addition to gamers who respect themselves, we must also believe the arrival of Starfield makes Xbox happy, which is regarding to launch the biggest console exclusive of the year. When we say “bigger” we are referring to Sony’s Spiderman 2 or Nintendo’s The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom.
Starfield, an RPG that will enrich 2023!
After a year marked by massive game releases, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV and Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield’s release is certainly the most anticipated of all !
This is certainly due to the fact that Starfield had been in development for several years. On the other hand, Bethesda’s other great RPG, Elder Scrolls 6, won’t be available for several years. Note that Starfield was announced in 2018, before Microsoft bought ZeniMax, Bethesda’s parent company, in 2020 for the tidy sum of $7.5 billion.
Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division, said that Microsoft decided to acquire ZeniMax because Sony had reached an agreement with Deathloop and Ghostwire, during an FTC hearing once morest Microsoft earlier this year. ‘year. The purpose of this agreement was to “pay Bethesda not to ship these games to Xbox”. Therefore, for have the exclusive Starfield on the Xbox and “secure content”Microsoft had decided to buy the parent companyas stated by the head of Xbox Game Studios.
Xbox and Playstation, is Starfield exclusivity a good or bad idea?
At first sight, have exclusivity on Starfield seems like a good thing for Xbox once morest Playstation. Only, in the long term, these exclusivity agreements can harm the giant Microsoft. As Xbox now owns Bethesda 100%it’s unlikely that more games from this company will ever come to PlayStation.
You have to believe that Starfield is only the first of a long series. As Bethesda announces that other games are in the works, including Indiana Jones and Elder Scrolls 6, these may also not be available on Playstation.
In this console battle, Bethesda isn’t the only game developer Microsoft has bought out. In addition to a number of smaller studios, Microsoft is in the process of acquiring the publisher of Call Of Duty, Activision in a nearly $70 billion deal.
By integrating these video game publishers with Game Pass, Microsoft offers Xbox gamers the ability to access an extensive game library of titles according to their desire in return for a simple subscription. But the question everyone is asking is: “is this a good thing for the video game industry as a whole”? Time will tell, but in the meantime, let’s enjoy Starfield and its adventures in space!
