Backlog battler Carl (@backlogcarl) reportedYou know, I don’t understand this weird narrative that Xbox went for “cheap” wins. Fixing the easy-to-fix complaints from people on your platform is somehow a bad thing? I’ve been on this app for many years and listen to gaming news and podcasts all the time. They say they need to push out Fallout and Elder Scrolls. They say game budgets need to be reduced. They say Xbox should bring back exclusive content because it matters. They say Xbox makes too many AA-level games and needs more AAA bangers. Most of this was before COVID, but even after, the gaming industry as a whole was called overblown. All I’m really trying to say is a lot of you annoy me with the double speak of what you want versus what you think will get you engagement, and it makes a lot of you unhappy.

Jamie (@JamieOffline) reported@BRAP_Podcast I think the problem is people keep looking at Xbox like it's one console company with one goal. "Case by case" makes perfect sense when you remember Microsoft isn't just managing Xbox hardware. They're managing Xbox, PC, cloud, Game Pass, Bethesda, Activision, Blizzard, Mojang, King, and studios that came with existing contracts, platform histories, and audiences. Minecraft shouldn't be judged the same way as Halo. Halo shouldn't be judged the same way as Call of Duty. Call of Duty shouldn't be judged the same way as Sea of Thieves or Elder Scrolls. The idea that every game should follow one blanket exclusivity rule sounds simple, but Microsoft's gaming business isn't simple. People also keep forgetting scale. Xbox is a huge business, but it's still one division inside Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't operate like Sony or Nintendo because Microsoft isn't Sony or Nintendo. Those companies exist primarily to serve their gaming ecosystems. Microsoft's gaming ecosystem exists inside a much larger company. So no, "case by case" isn't mixed messaging to me. It's literally them saying they're going to evaluate each game, studio, audience, contract, and business case individually instead of forcing every title into the same box.

Jellal Alaric (@JellalVT) reported@Tenkay23 @IdleSloth84_ I think SOD3 is a “live service” title. And I think that Senua may be a smaller project that they don’t see selling consoles. It’s all speculation, but BIG SP games is what I’m thinking. Gears, Halo and fable (going forward), Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc
-
Jordan Stapleton (@GTAJJ_) reported@katanaollie @Wario64 They do third party deals - the issue Xbox faces is that they have to pay more because they have less market share to make up for the sales difference. The only way to gain attention is either overpay (they have every year) or earn attention through creations. Why would you want Elder Scrolls and Fallout exclusive? What does this bring to an Xbox user? These entities are multiplatform and using your wealth to control the market entity and rug pull is dangerous.
-
𝕬𝖓𝖉𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖘 (@TheGermanicist) reportedI don’t understand why they ever decided to do certain games multi platform. But also why they would ever consider doing ads in the games. Just make all of their exclusive series like the elder scrolls and fallout and fable exclusives, and then they won’t have any financial problems.
-
sol (@solspun2) reported@XboxTimdog @HazzadorGamin i’m concerned about xbox because they literally have a single digit , lower than 5% margin. And they own my favorite ips through acquisitions! so yes i’m concerned that spyro, COD, elder scrolls, doom, crash, fallout, dishonored, warcraft, starcraft are gonna end up as trashware
-
Muda (@eyemissxv) reported@LouisV1099 @PostUp_SOG It can work if they make Helix cheap. And make Elder scrolls, Halo, Gears, Forza, crash bandicoot, Spyro, Overwatch single player game at a consistent pace. Sony can’t match that volume.
-
Jeff (@Sylar_N7) reported@OtterRuin @TESOnline he issue is not my original statement, but that you don't understand my original statement. I don't know how to explain it any easier for you bud. Right now in 2026 the 4 original classes and weapons have ALL THE SAME SKILLS. No innovation at all. Boring AF
-
AI (@WeboQueso) reported@DPermabear @PiggyKropotkinn It’s literally top 10 live service game. You don’t just stop Fortnight, FF14, Wow, Elder Scrolls, warframe, Rivals, Genshin, Rocket League etc. Sony is rtarded they bought what they wanted to end it smh
-
A Πωλ of House Targaryen|Game of Thrones 🇬🇷 (@ItzPaulHD_v1) reported@DVADigital323 then its not the elder scrolls 6 its not broken therefore it isnt
-
Sulayman (@syedsulayman) reportedFable is going to be my fix until Elder Scrolls 6 comes out
-
Asteria Xilfaren (@xilfaren) reported@Latoniksyze @TESOnline Does anyone here know how to read? They posted somewhere that they had an issue with console side and that it was delayed. You act so impatient for what? Literally nothing. Taking out your anger on the poor media manager... Truly unemployed behaviors.
-
Gaming Since NES (@GamingSinceNES) reported@danno_omen @Sonnie_Slim Well live service are the games they want for sure. Sticky games are extremely valuable in this economy but between those 2 games, budget vs profit will tell but mega hits would be the CoDs, Elder Scrolls, Minecrafts as the surefires. Outside of that, we'll soon discover how low their bar is as I see games coming from id Software in a shaky position 🫣
-
DioDiablo (@DioDiablo702) reported@foambreaker @TESOnline Consolidating systems overtime is a very common practice for games that have been in service for 7+ years. Over time some systems become outdated and need a refresh. I'm actually happy ZOS is taking the time to fix up old/outdated systems to keep things relevant.
-
Dan (@dan_mphillips) reported@Colteastwood The only winning move by Xbox is going back to full exclusivity except for live service games and Call of Duty and Minecraft Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Diablo, Crackdown, Dishonored, Starfield, etc all exclusive would sell boxes. PC a year delayed
-
Ryno (@Rynoalpha) reported@BRAP_Podcast @onepiece9681 I really question your intelligence. They never had good exclusives for it to amount to anything. If they had elder scrolls crash and call of duty and others for a substantial amount of time they be in a different situation. We saw how much better they did during 360 era.
-
Jackson (@jayveeonYT) reported@BROOKSWOODWORKS I'm glad they're doing something because their game pass direction was not working I think they have to reset and focus on exclusives. Fable, Halo, Bethesda's next Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. These are heavy hitter franchises that can revive the brand IF they are exclusive
-
MHM (@MrHooboMaster) reported@YC_0015 It was the equivelant of Bethesda and Todd Howard announcing Elder Scrolls 6 despite not wanting to for the good PR it would create / save face from their live service (for them Fallout 76)
-
El Manuel (@nobccash) reported@vrakhiri Mostly vanilla unless there's a QoL mods that fix something I hate Only exception really is Elder Scrolls, even on day 1 of Skyrim I downloaded a few mods
-
Aarameshi Starwind (@Aarameshi) reported@TESOnline Yea but do you still make us respec on every login? Id be willing to comeback for this but im tired of having to respec all the time.
-
Octopus (@Fred420170) reported@djkkyle @orielkiller @shinobi602 I don’t live on Twitter, FMS was broken at launch, same with halo infinite, starfield did well, the rest are good but not system sellers like gears, next mainline balo, elder scrolls 6 etc.
-
James | Barbaric Throne (@barbaricthrone) reported@georgebsocial Might confirm rumors from yesterday claiming anyone not working on Fallout or Elder Scrolls is out.
-
MasMenno (@MasMenno) reported@Jorden1506 The only part where it could be lackluster is if you go by exclusives. The overall output of the studios has been great. Over 10 live-service games with constant updates; Diablo 4, Overwatch, Minecraft and Elder Scrolls Online are currently peaking in players. 1/2
-
Mosie Mustard (@Mosie_Mustard) reported@TESOnline I don't think a purple tri-pot will fix that, get well soon!
-
Curse (@Cursemark143) reported@tris_ko_nel @mjHushpuppy Well "why now" is because of Asha. Her and Phil's idea of what Xbox should be differ from one another. It was so bad that people thought Xbox was becoming a Publisher rather a Platform competitor and the expectation was that they would eventually ditch the console all together. And Gears of War is not Live Service like Elder Scrolls Online. Gears main attraction is the Story & Coop play. Now to answer "why get an XBOX if its on PC". If you have a PC chances are you are content already because you will have access to XBOX. But for those that only have a PS5 and like having a console over a PC (which is a lot of damn people), the only real way I can see them converting, is exclusives. Great games sell consoles. There a lot of people that still have PS4's and cant afford a PC or PS5 (which has risen in price.) If Asha is trying to make everything at XBOX affordable again with Gamepass, future consoles, and a great line up of exclusives than I believe XBOX can become a huge competitor again for Console sales. I mean idk if Im alone on this, but like I said if I didnt have a PC, and The Elder Scrolls 6 was locked to XBOX/PC, I would buy an XBOX. The same reason applies to GTA6. Its not releasing on PC until after console, and its because Sony expects people to buy their console for ONE game. If you can lock down ONE insanely good game, you can sell your console like hot cakes. If TES6 is locked to XBOX I can see XBOX's getting sold left and right. But maybe Im just glazing The Elder Scrolls lol idk
-
Bisssccy (@Blockmaster77) reported@VexTheSunEater @BethesdaStudios I don't think I even want an Elder Scrolls 6. Just take a look at the Oblivion remaster. It was full of bugs and performance issues not to mention the weird uncanny redesign of khajiits. As a fan I rather them retire Elder scrolls or sell it.
-
FlyBy14 (@FlyBy1444) reported@TESOnline My guild and I think you need to fix the glitches that you have in the game already instead of adding more game. Maybe its time to clean things up plz??
-
Marienritter (@marienritter_) reported@pipkinpippa @Aquadile96 Its gameplay was okay, but its lore causes a lot of problems. You didn’t play the earlier games so you wouldn’t see it, but that’s really what divides the Elder Scrolls community over it.
-
Redders (@ReddersTV) reported@lrbrazao @asha_shar They've gone the Live Service route, they'll milk that **** for all it's worth. You won't be seeing a new Fallout or Elder Scrolls any time soon, when they can keep milking you on DLCs and Microtransactions.
-
G2ThaUNiT (@G2ThaUNiT) reported@HazzadorGamin I saw a post from George Broussard from 3D Realms/Apogee that layoffs at Zenimax have already started and that any studio not working on Elder Scrolls or Fallout are out. God I hope that's NOT true!!!
