The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports

Atlas Signal (@atlassignaldesk) reportedXbox'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

MarvinHeemeyerthe2nd (@heemeyerthe2nd) reported@GHBSmith The problem with Starfield was it was so interior heavy that you had to go through 5 loading screens to get to where you wanted. An Elder Scrolls game wouldn’t necessarily have this issue.
-
Soup (@The_Soupinator) reported@WinC_Gaming Yeah that's the big problem. Exclusives mean nothing unless they have must-have games (released regularly) to back that plan up. Halo hasn't been that for a LONG time and they're going to need more than just Elder Scrolls 6 which is still years off.
-
ZombieUniverse🔞 (@Zombie_Universe) reported@verydrearydays I have the same issue with a gamemode in warframe being abbreviated to ESO, which is also the online elder scrolls game 😭
-
willow 🟥 (@wintersre9uiem) reported@reishiGrowth Again, they announced elder scrolls 6 in like. 2017 or something. Cyberpunk was announced in like 2014. (Actually... CDPR and Bethesda both seem to struggle with the same issue...)
-
blobjim (@blobjim) reported@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.
-
Charlotte From The Trials of Mana Series ⬛🟧 (@Sumdood21764260) reported@Kofigiration @Character1n2ern Moral ******* won't work with me. If it's weird then don't do it. Calling someone a criminal over lines/polygons is my issue. It is the same as blowing someone's brains out in a FPS, stabbing someone to death in Elder scrolls. Also you know anime has always been weird right?
-
PSYMAGE (@psymage_arcade) reported@BladerLBM Saving anywhere is honestly the least of Daggerfall's problems lol. Same for any other Elder Scrolls game for that matter.
-
Judge Wrath (@OrkyLegion) reported@basedbinkie Yes because the Elves in Elder Scrolls unironically are the reason for half the problems in the world
-
Jon (@Jon542820827748) reported@railgundaniel That's part of the problem, it seems like it was designed by committee. It's paint by numbers in video game form. Don't get me wrong, I've finished the game and it's okay but imo it's the worst elder scrolls game. Decisions mean nothing, there's no real roleplaying, it's static.

🦑⛧Grimbow⛧🐙 (@Grimboww) reportedrain on car window elder scrolls book reading ASMR with miscellaneous triggers interspersed would fix me send tweet
-
KhajiitCook (@Lgbt_Cherry) reported@superprivatesgm @TESOnline @bethesda Trans carachters were in the exact summerset expansion you speak of and inclusive dialogue was in the game before that... Tanlorins problem is they are just horribly written.
-
Beep (@Rawr71081600) reported@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.
-
Rio (PUBLISHED: 'The Stones Will Shout') (@RioTheDragonMan) reported> I don't think Elder Scrolls will suffer that fate despite all the glaring issues of Skyrim to lifelong fans, it remains well respected enough I think TES 6 will sell gangbusters, but if TES 6 is FO76/Starfield quality I think TES will die painfully afterwards. >
-
LaserShark (@LaserShark19) reported@DreamsNStardust @Mikester430 @ColdCriti Haven’t played Elder Scrolls but Fallout NV and 4 definitely have some great open worlds. 3 I wasn’t too big a fan of. Also yeah it would have been cool to have some settlements in ER for sure. I think that’s a valid complaint but for me this wasn’t a huge issue personally.
-
DS. (@Kreitoc) reported@TESOnline And the game is broken yet again.
-
Nethi ܸ⩌⩊⩌ ܸ (@NethiVr) reported@CassieKittenVR Different tech at the time. Keep in mind that Bethesda is a bit like monster hunter with their engine. Each generation of games are working on the same system just modified to fix their current IP, which was ether Elder scrolls or Fallout. What a mess x3
-
Ång 🇺🇸 (@fllady68) reported@TESOnline The lag in this game, especially now, is ridiculous.
-
Yharnam (@Yharnam_dev) reported✅The Elder Scrolls 4 Max Money (When Selling) – Fixed an issue where it would occasionally not apply.
-
Gordo Compu (@TrueGordoCompu) reported@Pirat_Nation I've been playing Skyrim with mods for years and it's amazing. Bethesda should have hired modders for The Elder Scrolls VI, probably going to be a piece of crap like Starfield that modders will have to fix.
-
Jonathan.G (@Jonathan2134) reportedI remember this problem with elder scrolls: morrowind and other times. People don't own jack crap can just mute your audio.
-
welington drey (@drey_welington) reported@MuchWhittering @Bogi_Norse @viiaeriis not the same thing at all, like AT ALL... with starfield people were expecting them to finally do something different (different as in better not innovative) but they were lazy as always and made the same broken and buggy ****, elder scrolls 6 looks like it'll be the same thing
-
Bryan (@mononaut) reported@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.
-
Ronin_Blades (@ronin_blades) reported@LoneWolfMitsuni Thats fair, however elder scrolls and fallout are still two very good and popular series which are plagued with bugs and optimization issues... so I wouldn't call Beasts of Reincarnation **** til you play or seen someone play it to get the full scope of the game. Thats just my op
-
Ümit ATASEVEN 🇹🇷 (@gececi53) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline It is disgraceful that a major gaming studio hides behind automated bots, refusing to provide a human review or basic accountability. You gladly take players' money, but the moment an issue arises, you lock them out and throw away the key. Completely unacceptable!
-
Console Gamer (@ItchyButRash) reported@asha_shar Can you please have Bethesda fix Oblivion remastered across all platforms before the Elder Scrolls 6 comes out.
-
Stupid Fat Chud Goblin 🇵🇷🍉🇺🇦🇹🇼🇯🇴🇱🇧🇻🇪 (@RazzledSeal) reported@AlexWisnerArt I hope it has mod support in the future A lot of the elder scrolls like games have such horrid mod support And it’s such an important game of the games identity that you can always play it and do something new That isn’t a live service
-
Kendra Bratton 🌸🧚♀️ Fairy VTuber (@Voxs_Faegirl) reported✧༺♥༻∞GUIRELLA ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM ENDED∞༺♥༻✧ 🌸Welp looks like it is a YT Server issue for the East coast I am praying it is better by tomorrow before going on my trip. Tonight we raided into @mino_mieko on Twitch & on YouTube we raided into Machina X Flayon!
