| Barkley said: "Now Xbox chief financial officer Tim Stuart has offered additional clues on Microsoft's future strategy, suggesting Bethesda's games will be "either first or better or best" on its platforms." "Speaking at the Jefferies Interactive Entertainment Virtual Conference (as transcribed by Seeking Alpha), Stuart offered assurances that Microsoft has no intention of "just pulling all of Bethesda content out of Sony or Nintendo or otherwise" "That's not a point about being exclusive," he continued, "That's not a point about...adjusting timing or content or road map. But if you think about something like Game Pass, if it shows up best in Game Pass, that's what we want to see, and we want to drive our Game Pass subscriber base through that Bethesda pipeline." As expected. Best on gamepass, available elsewhere. |
"I will not be announcing pulling franchises from other platforms, one way or the other."
You have to look at everything, not just what supports what you might want. He directly contradicted everything he said with that statement, and likely for a reason.
Maybe they will be multiplat timed exclusive, maybe they will not come to PS5 at all. There is no solid evidence of either at this time. Hell for all we know, they may be in talks with Sony themselves about getting a few of their games on the XSX in exchange for keeping the IPs available on PS5 (even if timed releases themselves).
