Xbox CEO Asha Sharma stopped short of addressing exclusivity plans for The Elder Scrolls 6 during a Gamescom interview, instead offering praise for the game's technical presentation. When directly asked whether the company viewed the highly anticipated Bethesda RPG as a priority for Xbox exclusivity, Sharma deflected by commenting on the game's visual quality rather than clarifying Microsoft's stance on platform availability.
The non-answer underscores the ongoing ambiguity around how aggressively Xbox will pursue exclusives post-Bethesda acquisition. While Microsoft has secured Bethesda's catalog, the company has shown willingness to bring major titles to competing platforms, leaving The Elder Scrolls 6's exclusivity status unclear.
- Sharma avoided directly answering whether The Elder Scrolls 6 exclusivity is a priority, deflecting to general praise instead.
- The response leaves platform exclusivity unresolved for one of gaming's most anticipated sequels.
- Microsoft's broader strategy on Bethesda exclusives remains inconsistent, with some titles headed to other platforms.
