Xbox has been riding a vague line on the excitement for a merger with Zenimax and Bethesda to increase the buying power of the Xbox platform with massive IPs and new games coming to Xbox Game Pass and to Xbox Consoles. The deal with Bethesda has been in the works and under careful legal discrepancy since September and for 5 months, everyone has one question and it’s finally about to be answered this week!

Will Bethesda put their games on Playstation, or just leave them Exclusive to Xbox?
the deal is now 100% complete
@colteaswood,
Zenimax will be independent from Microsoft, $7.5 Billion in Cash doesn't operate like that.
Where did Phil Spencer say that? That came from The Verge.
The only ones who do not approve this colossal ZeniMax acqusition are crying ponies.
Guys, what did we tell them ? What did we tell them that they just refused to believe ? It’s happening now and no surprise looks from me
MBG and the SOYponies are in full damage control mode once again
Sony Pony: Bethesda games suck anyways
Also Sony Pony: Bethesda is staying multiplat THEY HAVE TOO 😫
The issue for me is that Microsoft bought Zenimax, not Xbox. Microsoft has a financial responsibility to shareholders.
-2016, Skyrim had sold over 30 million copies across all platforms. That number is probably higher now, with total revenue between 1-2 billion.
-Between Xbox/Sony, it's almost an even split of sales across the 360/PS3/XB1/PS4 platforms, with Microsoft leading the sales in the 360 era, and Sony leading the sales in the PS4 era.
With that being said, you'd be effectively halving the potential revenue stream from console sales. Obviously, keeping it exclusive would drive some to buy into the eco system, but that's easier said then done, as $299/$499 isn't an attractive buy in price if you already own a PS4/PS5.
-Not everyone has decent enough internet for XCloud, it's getting better though.
-Not everyone has a decent low-mid grade gaming PC for Gamepass.
I believe the odds are higher that things will continue to be multiplat than not. But, I do believe if this route is chosen, it'll be the "Play it first, Play it best, Play it Better" on Xbox model.
I look at it like this if xbox doesn't keep the big ips exclusive then they really don't see Sony as a treat to the xbox brand. Clearly they don't need them to make back their money. So the console war should be over. If they keep it exclusive then xbox is one high metacritic score game from killing every fanboy argument and the console war is over. Either way I'm playing video games.
Great content Colt!… Just what I would expect coming from you. Btw, that fallout character 10:40 look exactly like you!!..😂😂👍🇵🇷
Xbox just announced it. Welcome Bethesda
PlayStation fans are going to be pissed. Expect threats by them towards Bethesda staff.
That’s not fair. Now I have to buy a Xbox to play future elder scrolls games? This deal should of never happened
Expect Bethesda Studios Big 3 Single Players to be Xbox/PC exclusive….Yes, that means Elder Scrolls, Fallout & Doom… Xbox Haters, you brought this on yourselves. 🤣😆 #GameOver

@Colteastwood I have commented months every time Bethesda comes up.
Microsoft will keep all Bethesda games exclusive to Xbox and it's ecosystem.
Microsoft, above all wants to earn money. They won't achieve their goal if they give away their $7.5 Billion investment to their competitor.
Timed exclusives? No! Microsoft wants a permanent reason to subscribe to game pass not a temporary reason and a permanent reason to buy Bethesda games with Xbox and it's ecosystem.
Game franchise popularity doesn't change the definition to ownership. Microsoft bought Zenimax to aquire Bethesda to have exclusive games.
Giving even one Bethesda game to Xbox competitors would fuel the console wars, keep the stigma "Xbox has no games" and effectively create future expectations to Microsoft to give more exclusives in the future. Not just Bethesda exclusives, game franchises acquired in the future with other publishers Microsoft will acquire as confirmed by Microsoft CEO.
Example, Microsoft acquires Ubisoft. If Microsoft gives even one Bethesda exclusive now, ps owners will expect more Bethesda games and Ubisoft games in the future. Give an inch, take mile
I believe Microsoft knows and they will keep all Bethesda games exclusive to Xbox.
Direct Phil Spencer quote
"I don’t have to go ship those games on any other platform other than the platforms that we support in order to kind of make the deal work for us."
The Zenimax deal was about giving Xbox exclusive games and feeding the Xbox Gamepass service to grow the ecosystem.
I can't actually believe it all went through, im so so happy to be a part of XBOX I used to be a PlayStation player when I was younger but I grew older and XBOX is the place to play, not to mention the control PAD is for men not boys hahahah
"Compatibility" lmfao Colt can't read 😂. Jk love you bro.
I love how saying xbox games r going to ps is the same as saying Disney movies r going to Netflix
I can see star field being a xbox exclusive
What game(s) would you most highly recommend to play out of this acquisition? Gamepass is going to be brimming later this week!
Great presentation Colt. That is something it seems like almost everyone is talking about. To me all of the current projects going to Ps family of consoles, yes. But future projects going to Ps consoles just doesn't make good sense to take a gamble spending extra time, resources and money on the Ps consoles. When that time, resources, and money could be used to bring higher quality games to the Xbox family. In short Xbox doesn't need Ps. These are very exciting times in the gaming world. The Series X/S is better experienced in person, and I pray and hope that everyone that wants one is able to get one and see just how amazing these consoles are. Stay Safe.
I think that the answer will still be the same. They will honor the deals and everything else is on a case-by-case basis.
I am an XBOX guy since medieval times, but I wish, that every game goes to every platform. No one should be regreting of buying just PS, or just XBOX, or to have just gaming PC.. Everybody is a gamer in the end and should be enjoying every great game that comes out!
If XBOX pays any attention at all to these people who always say xbox has no games or exclusives, I'd expect all if not most of these Bethesda games to be 100% exclusive.
Hello! Great Video, timely and informative! Pls verify your script: at 0:19 you say "legal discrepancy", I think the suitable word is "scrutiny", "legal scrutiny". Pls verify! Tku for the content! Max
I think the Bethesda games should be exclusive. Playstation has exclusives Nintendo has exclusives why can't we. Us Xbox users wanna feel special too lol
Sounds like Colt knows something we don't.
Xbox if you are reading this we would like future titles to be exclusive
In a way it would just irritate the hell out of me as an original Xbox player if they blew this situation and didn't make at least some of the games exclusive. We have been waiting patiently for them to deliver on the games front its time to come through for us.
I honestly see no reason to buy a PS5 anymore honestly. Especially since Sony’s exclusive games will be coming to PC. PC and Xbox Series X is the way to go. Glad I ended up with the Series X over the PS5.
Based on the recent Gold price hike attempt to encourage their user base to Gamepass Ultimate. Do you think Xbox will gate some Bethesda games behind Gamepass to encourage take up of the service?
I still say xbox needs an exclusive superhero game
🙌👏👏👏🙌
I'm very triggered by all these Anti Playstation comments.
I think I’ll be making my PlayStation my main platform going forward. Xbox cares more about what PlayStation fans care about than thier own fans
Sony : Say those three magical words
MS : Fus Ro Dah
Long term is what Microsoft is aiming for
Microsoft better make Bethesda games exclusives. Otherwise: PS5 is the wise and natural choice…
Congratulations to Microsoft and Bethesda. Great future ahead 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I ready to Rage 3 , if you know what I mean.
Please bring Bethesda games on playstation. I BEG you.
You made a great point in this video. Wasteland and outer worlds went multiplatform because of deals needing to be honored with previous publishers. With bethesda it's different, wolfenstein 3 and starfield are developed and published by bathesda. Which are now owned by xbox. All these games are gonna be exclusive
"Some new titles" some being the key word
Thank fucking god for xbox. welcome home bethesda.
I think they will be exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem, i.e. Xbox consoles, pc, gamepass and X-cloud.
Right now is the best time to be an xbox fan!!! Game on!!!
