  @CS11__ I think the problem, is the hype. That'll happen when you take 12 years to come out with the next title. Elder Scrolls 6 will meet the same fate. Good lessons to learn, dont milk your IP to death on one title for an entire decade.

  @twobugsGaming It's got a similar problem to Red Dead Redemption 2 in that the controls suck and the gameplay is too focused on the scripted story sections. Plus the next Elder Scrolls game will probably come out around the same time.

  @fentanylbrownie "ubiquitous" in elder scrolls games but never really seen it be such a problem anywhere else. Elder scrolls melee combat is remarkably unfun that bypassing it with sneak is the default way to enjoy the game.

  Nothing says “healthy industry” like an Elder Scrolls 6 demo under executive applause while a giant inflatable rat watches from outside. That rat is the more honest mascot. Xbox leadership gets the live playthrough, the talk about scale and story, the nice clean vision of the future. Outside, Bethesda workers are flying flags for people gutted by Microsoft’s 2026 layoffs and reminding everyone what that future is built on. This is the part the industry keeps trying to edit out: you do not get the prestige showcase without the labor, and you do not get to celebrate the craft while treating the people making it like a restructuring line item. The game isn’t the contradiction. The executive narrative is. If workers need an inflatable rat to make the real mood visible during your big fantasy RPG victory lap, the problem is not optics. It’s that the optics are accurate.

  A hotfix is planned for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition tomorrow, August 27. On Xbox, this will fix a crash that occurs when opening the map multiple times; on PlayStation, this will fix a crash involving using the on-screen keyboard on the main menu, as well as an issue where the game showed the incorrect amount of Creations storage space.

  Gotta test everything, I used to use the side sliding function to glitch my way over walls in a bunch of games. Worked in a bunch of places in Elden ring, they didn't play test that game very well. This worked, and I found places I could glitch through walls as well. In Elder Scrolls Morrowind, you could glitch through the door to the final boss and beat him without doing the quests. Just had to wiggle through the corner of the locked door. Everquest, you could take a shrink potion, sit next to a door, log out, and when you logged back in, the potion effect would drop, and you would just pop up on the other side. Do my best to try and break everything I do, I do to games what @TheSpiffingBrit does to them, I just don't make videos about it. "I also don't have a sweet accent"

  Yes, as a totally starved Elder Scrolls lore fanatic, I will definitely over-analyze this. A few observations: - The province for The Elder Scrolls VI has long been rumored to be Hammerfell, to the point where it's almost certain. The number of asterisks she used could be random, but if they're not, they don't fit "Hammerfell". Skyrim and Morrowind are the only Elder Scrolls games that are actually named after the province they take place in, so this isn't an issue. It will probably have a unique subtitle. - By saying the story is greater than the already incredible scale and grandeur of the game, is she saying the story is better than the exploration and questing? Certainly not. This is actually a weird thing to say about the Elder Scrolls, a franchise from a studio that is typically known for weak main quest writing, which we all forgive because the exploration and side quests are the real star. We all understand that, but her vague praise seems to contradict. - Asha saying something public about this game is surely part of her plan to crack the doors open at Bethesda. I wouldn't be surprised if we finally see something substantial about the game this year. What she saw could even be a work in progress demo slice for a future show. Can't believe we're doing this still, but a fans gotta eat.

  @AlexMindTricks @nuhre_ It’s a generational game ppl have been waiting to play for 10+ years with ridiculous hype. It’s going to make like a billion dollars bro. That doesn’t mean the industry can pretend they have GTA 6, not even Bethesda could sell Elder scrolls 6 for that much. It’s capitalism bro, supply and demand, GTA 6 is gonna be a live service game that is extremely popular for the next 2 decades. That doesn’t mean game devs are gonna start selling the new call of duty for $100, almost nobody would buy that **** for $100, but millions of people would buy GTA 6 for $500, let alone $100. It’s a product which is highly desired and therefore worth a **** ton, that’s capitalism, otherwise they’d sell it for less

  Dinnu daniel (@daniel_adinnu) reported 30 minutes ago

  “No, the roadmap is unaffected.” That’s Bethesda’s entire response when asked whether The Elder Scrolls VI would be delayed by Xbox’s layoffs, four words delivered to a YouTuber after Microsoft cut 1,600 jobs immediately and marked another 1,600 for elimination over the next year. Here’s the sentence that complicates it. The Elder Scrolls Online, made by ZeniMax Online Studios, a sister team under the same publisher, lost over 200 employees in the same round of cuts. Their own public statement wasn’t reassurance. It was an admission: “roadmaps we previously shared will be shifting.” Same company, same week, same wave of layoffs, and the two teams gave opposite answers to the same question. That’s not necessarily a contradiction. The Elder Scrolls VI’s team may genuinely have been protected while a live-service team absorbing over a hundred lost staff clearly wasn’t. But it does mean “the roadmap is unaffected” isn’t a statement about Xbox’s restructuring. It’s a statement about one specific team’s staffing, issued at a moment when a studio one floor over was saying the opposite about theirs. Current and former staff have reportedly told IGN they expect delays, crunch, and heavier reliance on contractors unfamiliar with Bethesda’s internal tools regardless of what the official line says. Bethesda’s statement answers the question it was asked. It doesn’t answer the one everyone’s actually worried about.

  @denkatabro @AION2Official I really don't understand how people can say that live service is a dead end, it's still very much alive. I love single player games, played some like the Witcher games, Fallout series, Elder Scrolls, Deus Ex, Arx Fatalis etc but saying that live service is dead is very asinine

  Graham Smith (@SuperSmithBros) reported 48 minutes ago

  @St1ka @nameresu Again, if we look at actual development time its more like 8 years. They also arent forcing larger budgets and dev times on other devs at all. There are probably 4 or 5 franchises in total that do this. Elder Scrolls, Cyber Punk, Witcher and Rockstar games. Cyber Punk also made the mistake of releasing too early (which cost them dearly). I have no problem with that for these franchise (although elder scrolls is dragging and potentially because Bethesda track record isnt what is once was). Literally every other franchise does things differently... The ones that do it yearly burn out and lose customers from repetition. Other devs focus on more unique experiences. Each to their own.

  @SeniorScrolls @Der_Kernel_ So what actually happened is Elder Scrolls Online. They wanted to rival WoW. The problem with this is that the nature of an MMO is that it is live service, they were planning on it being THE elder scrolls and thus did not develop another one. And now here we are with eso dead af.

  Atlas Signal (@atlassignaldesk) reported 52 minutes ago

  Xbox's refusal to commit on Elder Scrolls 6 exclusivity isn't evasion—it's a signal that the traditional console wars logic is already dead. The "family of devices" framing is the tell. Microsoft isn't building a next-gen console anymore. It's building a platform stack: high-end hardware for 4K gaming, mid-tier boxes for Game Pass streaming, mobile integration, cloud fallback. That architectural shift means exclusivity clauses become liabilities, not assets. Here's why that matters: • Bethesda games historically anchored console launches. Elder Scrolls 4 (Oblivion) moved 360 units in 2006. That halo effect—exclusive marquee title—justified the hardware bet. But if your bet is on subscription and service, not hardware sales, exclusivity shrinks the addressable market. • Game Pass economics flip the incentive. A $70 single-player RPG sells copies. The same game on Game Pass day-one needs massive install-base growth to offset upfront cost. That only happens if you're pulling players from competing ecosystems, not gatekeeping from them. • PlayStation's installed base is too large to ignore. If Elder Scrolls 6 ships in 2027-2028, PS5 Pro owners will have 200M players deep. Microsoft's internal math almost certainly says: exclusive launch loses $500M+ in subscription revenue vs. a timed exclusivity (12-18 months) that lets the base game anchor Xbox while Elder Scrolls monetizes hard on other platforms later. The hesitation to announce non-exclusivity isn't indecision. It's the space between what corporate strategy demands (multiplatform) and what marketing still wants to promise (Xbox supremacy). That gap closes when the first major AAA title ships on both. Forward: Watch whether Starfield 2 (if announced) or Avowed get the same "we'll see" treatment. If yes, the console exclusive is formally deprecated. If no, exclusivity still matters to Bethesda's creative identity—and that tension will define whether Project Helix is a unified platform or just three Xbox boxes with different screen sizes. #Xbox #ProjectHelix #ElderScrolls6

  Xbox doesn't have an exclusives problem. I think it has a trust problem. After years of “play anywhere,” what does bringing back console exclusives actually mean for Xbox's future? And if Fallout 5 or Elder Scrolls VI were Xbox exclusives… would you buy one? 🎮 What do you think?
