Summary
Recent reports from various insiders have suggested that Xbox could be going completely multi-platform with its games, which would presumably includeThe Elder Scrolls 6from Bethesda. When Microsoft acquired Bethesda,PlayStation fans were worriedthat it meant they would no longer be able to play the company’s games on their platform of choice. Sure enough, Bethesda-published titles have become Xbox console exclusives, including Arkane’s co-op vampire shooterRedfalland massive open world sci-fi RPGStarfield.
WithStarfieldbeing an Xbox console exclusive, it’s long been assumed thatThe Elder Scrolls 6would experience a similar fate, releasing only on PC and Xbox platforms. That could very well still be the case, and so PlayStation gamers should certainly keep their expectations in check. However, there is at least some hope thatThe Elder Scrolls 6, and all future Bethesda games for that matter, could come to PlayStation consoles.
According to recent reports,which originated from XboxEra, and have since been corroborated by others, Xbox could very well be going multi-plat. While Xbox will still have its own consoles and ecosystem, it seems that the company is looking to expand its IP to competing platforms. An official announcement has not been made at the time of this writing, but if the company does go multi-plat as rumored, it seems likely thatThe Elder Scrolls 6will be coming to PlayStation. After all, reports suggest thatStarfieldis coming to PS5, so there’s no reason to assume that Xbox won’t do the same withThe Elder Scrolls 6when the time comes.
Now,The Elder Scrolls 6potentially coming to PlayStation could happen with caveats. For example, it’s possible that Xbox games will be available on Xbox platforms first before coming to PlayStation and other consoles, though that’s just speculation at this time. We really have no idea howXbox multi-plat gameswill work, and so fans should hang tight for more concrete information from official sources.
Will Elder Scrolls 6 Be Released for PS5?
IfThe Elder Scrolls 6does come to PlayStation, that’s not a guarantee that the game will be released for PS5. Bethesda is still supportingStarfieldwith regular updates and is actively working on sizable DLC expansions for the game, so the studio’s full focus is not yet onThe Elder Scrolls 6. It’s been previously suggested thatThe Elder Scrolls 6release datewon’t be until 2028 at the earliest, in which case, it’s plausible that the game could actually be released for next-generation Xbox and PlayStation platforms instead of the currently-available Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
Regardless of whereThe Elder Scrolls 6ends up, chances are greater now than they have been sinceMicrosoft’s acquisition of Bethesdathat the game could come to a PlayStation console, whether that’s the PS5 or PS6.
