  @BethesdaMag Dawnwalker. Second place goes to Elder Scrolls, because the quicker we get that game released, the quicker modders can fix it

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline @BethesdaSupport, do you suppose it might be time to fix the All the Worlds a Stage bug in FO76?

  @maxdeploy @WarhorseStudios Bethesda made Fallout and Elder Scrolls. What's the issue?

  Trevor Rieger (@trevorriegerxxx) reported 4 minutes ago

  The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered by publisher Bethesda Softworks has not received a formal PC patch since Update 1.2 was released in July 2025. Frame rates dropping and traversal stuttering are still a problem for players.

  If this is true, @asha_shar , I think the best thing you could do would be to drop the price of ultimate to either $20 or $25 and stagger the addition of yearly COD titles (and possibly others). COD grinders are going to pay full price for each title, regardless of if you say it'll come to GPU in 3 months (There's a lot of people that buy the game through Blizzard launcher anyways). Each COD title feeds into Warzone, so there's an incentive to play each title to level up guns and get an advantage. Putting it at a 3-month stagger for GPU would pull in the sales from those dedicated to the franchise while also giving a good date for those that wouldn't have bought the game no matter what. As for additional benefits, you could look into first party offerings. Fallout 1st would be an easy addition, as would something for Elder Scrolls Online (as I know they just switched strategies from big expansions to seasonal content like the norm). The problem is, the benefits you add have to be beneficial to justify the price hike. You guys raised the price and gave us Fortnite Crew, which is beneficial to a number of people, but a ton of the other GPU benefits are for already F2P titles, most of which no one cares about.

  @imajanitor @Lilulicious Bethesda signed a Contract to keep Fallout and Elder Scrolls multiplat, the problem they're facing selling their games on xbox and PC is that their games aren't selling at all, Todd Howard forgot that Bethesda games sell better on playstation than xbox and PC combined.

  @Jetifyed2077 The problem with the Elder Scrolls having classes was the whole "Play how you like" thing. If they had done DnD style rules, the Class system would have worked. But as it is...

  @xonebros I think long running franchises like Elder Scrolls, GTA and even my beloved Halo are in for a rude awakening. The gap between their entries is way too wide. We've gone from 3-5 years to 10-12 or more. The fans of the previous games move on and in some cases become developers themselves. That's where we see games like Crimson Desert, Expedition 33 and more come into the picture. These developers were inspired by the old franchises and made their own games with passion. GTA, Elder Scrolls and Halo are now established corporate franchises. Each entry has come out feeling more like it's trying to appease a corporate overlord that's demanding more revenue be generated from a single title instead of creating a one and done game in a timely manner New gamers are also coming along that aren't familiar with said franchises due to the gap in releases. A kid born on the release day for Skyrim is now in high school. They grew up with Skyrim being "that old game that Dad liked". While some may have gotten curious and gone back to experience and enjoy Skyrim (much like I went back to experience and later love Pac-Man and Donkey Kong), many just played whatever the new hotness was. In many cases, that was a cheap or free to play live service title like Fortnite, Roblox or Minecraft that could be experienced on any device they owned. Elder Scrolls VI and other legacy franchises have to deal with these. I think GTA 6 is going to be a massive test for these legacy titles and I don't think it's going to sell as strong as people think. A combination of unfamiliarity with GTA in Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the inflated cost of modern AAA will be a massive deterrent. I'm sure my fellow Millennial and Gen X gamers will buy it...assuming they haven't aged out of the hobby. Sadly, as that terrible Game Rant top 10 🐐 of gaming survey showed, we're becoming a rare breed in the industry.

  @MrCraneGames @Pirat_Nation Ah, so a Cyberpunk 2077 style reinvention. That might help, but the problem is that they're behind schedule for Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5. It's kind of a Catch-22 situation for them. Personally, I wish they'd just hand over Fallout 5 to another studio to clear their schedule

  @ZeniMax_Online The Elder Scrolls Online. It's been 25 days this issue has been going on. Previous tickets have been either cancelled or put on hold, your team is stating that it's been pushed to a "smaller" team. I paid for 1 month of ESO plus, never got it....

  @xonebros Is it in a vacuum or does the Elder Scrolls have a Crimson Desert problem. Pick one.

  @KentonVarda Morrowind Elder Scrolls was almost liek this... The areas were distinct.. didn't level difficulty based on your character level... and although you could fast travel through certain towns, it was a paid service and didn't go everywhere Atmospherically Morrowind > Oblivion for sure

  @Jugulator__95 @TagTrinity After reading Jez’s article it looks like game pass will become a build your own bundle service, before Elder Scrolls even launches. What that looks like pricing wise, day one games, I have no idea. Starfield would have sold 25 million to 30 million plus copies during launch week if it wasn’t on game pass and was on ps5 at launch. The hype for the game was insane.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Everything about ESO is broken. Last month I renewed my ESO+ and never got it. ESO reps cast the blame on Sony and the Players. Tons of players affected and have yet to be refunded. 8 years of playing the game I finally gave it up. It pisses me off to even see the game.

  @TESOnline Please fix the issues with night market instances. Skirmishes are active but everyone I go to one 1 out of 5 times there not a single soul even though the group finder is full of them. I’m a solo player that don’t like to group. Am I SOL?

  @TESOnline If Vengeance is your answer to the pvp issues that plague endgame, then do us all a favour please, Make it a separate entity and just leave what we have had - alone. If people want to play a slower game, non cp server - then let them. If they want Icereach - let them.

  @xycofox @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I know that feeling well ***, they did the same to me in march, I spent a week putting tickets in and asking on here to be told I had to ask Sony directly for the refund, I got it sorted within an hour by Sony. Bethesda have been aware of this problem for a while.

  @Swurv__ Crimson Desert isn't an Elder Scrolls killer but it's showing us what could... People say Skyrim holds up but I can't play it again without a few thousand mods, Lorerim/Nolvus completely revamp the game to a modern standard and I can't go back to vanilla. I enjoyed it in it's time but it's dead for anyone that's already been there done that... let's be honest. Bethesda has nothing to worry about on sales and player numbers on release day but they should be worried about retention. I can't play Starfield it's the same old jank it just looks a little better but in a few years once Bethesda tosses it aside and modders do their magic I'll probably put a thousand hours more on it. I'll pre order it the morning of release and wait a couple weeks before the refund deadline to play it, see if Bethesda has improved or not because I can't do another plain three slash bethesda game, I just can't it's 30 years old. It took them until starfield just to figure out ladders... LADDERS meanwhile FO4 modders made functional ladders in their engine they said couldn't do it lol that should be telling us something. The lore will save it, the lore is what most of us care about, we live with the bethesda jank but we shouldn't have to. They also forced their lore writer out, that's a problem...

  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition developed by Bethesda Game Studios for the Nintendo Switch 2 port added improvements with an update 1.2 in February 2026 such as a new 60 FPS mode, a stable 30 FPS mode, and reduced input lag but it still costs $60 for a 15 year old game.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline 10+ yrs. BG/Cyro servers has been absolutely atrocious on PC/NA! for that 10+ yrs we have asked for a fix to the lag and in some cases Full on freeze for a good 15-20sec. Instead of adding content to these servers how bout we actually fix it(Maintenance)
