Bethesda are aiming for Starfield to be the new Skyrim.
Both MS & Bethesda know they have something special in their hands.

Starfield will be an launching exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 11, 2022. - So PlayStation at a later date? Thanks for clearing that up, Aaron.
Wouldn't that be Elder Scrolls VI?

No shocker here. Never understood why anyone ever expected or even thought that any new future Bethesda release would be on PlayStation. SMH. Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo are the swansongs.
No that will be the next StarfieldStarfield will be an launching exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 11, 2022. - So PlayStation at a later date? Thanks for clearing that up, Aaron.

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
The Red Dragon is a fan favourite to a certain bunch. Some people here would rather beleive him and dismiss Aaron Greenberg and Pete Hines as "PR".

And yet there's still the "launching exclusively" loophole that will drive some conspiracy theorists insane. Maybe they want to keep their options open, but it just seems cruel at this point not to shut the door more firmly.
Also, "has or will change" is itching my grammar brain.

I highly doubt Xbox will put new IP from Bethesda on PlayStation, especially in the 1st year of the games release.
But I get a sense that they don't seem very sure which is why they won't just come out and say "everything will be exclusive". I think Phil is waiting to see how things play out with Xbox in these next 2 years before committing completely to the idea of making everything exclusive.

Some will not take this well. It was only this month some were starting to have hope again.

I mean impact wise on gaming, popular culture etc the same way Skyrim did.Starfield will be an launching exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 11, 2022. - So PlayStation at a later date? Thanks for clearing that up, Aaron.

I say that because they put TESVI on the back burner for this knowing it would be the game that would define their next gen of games. Hell it even looks like they’ve shelved Fallout for a bit for Starfield.

"Coming to Xbox as a lifetime console exclusive" or something to that effect, or just "Not coming to Playstation, ever." *shrug*
Microsoft has kind of trained people to be skeptical with their "Launch Exclusive," "Console Exclusive," etc. tags of E3s past. Combine that with some fans' desperate hopes, and people are going to hear what they want to hear.

Yeah … no.
Please show us proof of Xbox fans actually saying that. Otherwise it never happened, just Sony fanboys loosely putting together words and twisting it.

If they clarify too much like E3 2021 some people like this guy will get butthurt instead.

Think it's clear as day at this point they're not coming to PS regardless of whether some more xbox execs come out with ambigous statements

I think it will be timed.
"First or best on xbox"

Remember when Sony fanboys were arguing they're not? Fun times. Except this exclusive in particular can be also played on an open platform (PC). As a PC games i'm struggling to choose the lesser evil.....

Yep, we knew at some future Zenimax games would be console exclusives, other would be multi and other ones timed console exclusives.
Starfield seems it's going to be a console exclusive, but who knows if it will end being a timed console exclusive. If it's the case, they won't mention it until at least a few months after release, and we're still pretty far from release.

It wouldn't be the first time Aaron misspoke

Seems pretty clear to me and I'd expect this to be the case for all new IPs that Zenimax produce.
The real test will be the next Elder Scrolls or Quake games, something with history on other platforms.

It's extremely smart marketing to not close the door for a full 100% though, that 0.01% chance keeps the people talking and discussing about your brand and that is essentially what you want as a marketing guy, keep the brand in the spotlights as much as possible. Greenberg + team are experts in that good or bad doesn't matter.

It's Aaron, and we know how MS and Sony have been many times with many timed exclusives.
We know the game was originally made as multiplatform. But obviously, even if it would be a timed exclusive and don't want to announced it for now, they would have paused the PS version related development (a minor part of a big ass project like this one) and would be focusing on Xbox and PC versions until release, leaving the PS porting for later.

How many first party Sony exclusives have been timed and then release on the Xbox?

I think with it being a space opera and how popular that genre is, it has the potential to be bigger than Skyrim.

None, because unlike MS Sony doesn't release 1st party games on Xbox (as exception they develop MLB, who MLB publishes it on Xbox). I was talking about 3rd party timed exclusives, not 1st.

Yes, like 1st party games that got released on PS after being acquired by MS like Minecraft Story Mode, Psyconauts 2, Quake 2021 or the other games that got DLCs and updates after the acquisition on PS like Minecraft, Fallout 76, Elders Scrolls Online, Doom Eternal etc.
