It appears that fans will have to wait for at least a few more years before exploring the planes of Nirn in Bethesda‘s upcoming title. Redfall and Starfield, both of the recent games from the company, have been Microsoft exclusives. As such, fans had expected the same to happen with The Elder Scrolls 6. Even though Skyrim and Oblivion were available on other platforms.

In order to be on Xbox, I want us to be able to bring the full complete package of what we have. And that would be true when I think about Elder Scrolls 6,” says Phil Spencer.

This statement regarding The Elder Scrolls 6’s exclusivity was attached to the document and came from Phil Spencer’s interview with GQ magazine. He refers to Xbox as a whole experience, containing Xbox Live, Game Pass, Cloud Gaming, Friends Lists, and Save States. The Elder Scrolls 6 wasn’t the only franchise he believed would deliver a full package; he said, “That would be true when I think about any of our franchises.

It seems like Microsoft is planning on delivering more exclusives in the future, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is confirmed to be part of the lineup. As for the release date, even the document mentions it is “TBH, but expected 2026 or later.” Starfield, which had a concrete release date, was delayed multiple times, so this is likely far from the actual release. Still, it confirms that the game will not arrive before 2026.
