Future Bethesda Games Don't Need To Be On PS5, Says Xbox's Phil Spencer - GameSpot

While Microsoft hasn't detailed its release plans for Bethesda games in the future, Xbox's Phil Spencer says that the price of the deal isn't forcing any decisions.

The future of Bethesda titles is less certain, however, with Microsoft previously stating that it would determine release platforms for games on a "case-by-case" basis.

Spencer, speaking to Kotaku, didn't elaborate on that stance, but did mention that Microsoft has no obligation to release games on platforms it doesn't control for the financial aspect of the deal to make sense.

Although Spencer doesn't outright say whether future Bethesda titles will be multi-platform, it does seem clear now that Microsoft has the flexibility to decide that without having to think about the costs of the publisher purchase.

Spencer does mention in the same interview that he doesn't see that strategy as sustainable, however.

Combined with Obsidian Entertainment's output as well as Playground Games' Fable reboot, the Xbox Series X and S are shaping up to be RPG powerhouses.

Elsewhere in the interview Phil Spencer shares his thoughts on the differences between the Xbox Series X and Series S, saying that he believes the latter will eventually be the best-seller during this coming generation!
