Xycofox (@xycofox) reported@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....

Muda (@eyemissxv) reported@younghavok Elder scrolls 6? Story mode overwatch game? Crash bandicoot? Spyro? Halo remake? Fallout 5? Fable? Souls like WoW? They didn’t even try
-
SenjutsuSage (@Senninsage) reported@Johnnymetal80 @Septic_Sauce The anticipation for the follow-up to Skyrim is a money maker approaching GTA. A lot more upfront sales will be lost with Elder Scrolls 6, so with this move I no longer have confidence in Game Pass as a service. It was about guarantees, no doubt, and that's now gone.

R̺͆o̺͆n̺͆n̺͆i̺͆e̺͆B̺͆l̺͆a̺͆z̺͆3̺͆ (@RonnieBlaz3) reported@TESOnline Before adding “CrossPlay” FIX the SERVER! It literally cant handle the current population, yet ZoS wants to add more content /players to a Unstable server that has been broken for yrs on PC. from what i hear on consoles as well. All we want are stable/reliabe Server ZoS!!!

Valdenn (@sirvaldenn) reported@Swurv__ True enough about Crimson Desert. Elder Scrolls VI has a Bethesda problem, though. Yeah, it'll make money, but not as much as if it were good. Starfield suffered because people saw and said how abysmal it was. TES VI will have the same issue.

Jared Shapiro (@GetFitWithJared) reported@Xbox_SUPERFAN The thing with COD versus other first party games is they have 3 studios working full speed to crank out a $400+ million AAA game annually. Halo isn't doing that. Elder Scrolls isn't doing that. Forza isn't doing that. Those games on Day 1 are are all big value adds for Game Pass. If they remove them, they're going to see massive churn. I'm assuming behind the scenes they either didn't see a big enough bump in subscribers for COD or they saw a lot of people sub for a month or two, only play COD, then bounce. If that's the case, and you have polls all over the internet saying drop COD and make it cheaper, then I could see the business sense there. It doesn't make sense to risk subs and cut other first party games from the service, but there's always a chance the economics change

SavePoint (@savepoint_tr) reportedWild origin story unearthed at PCG towers — the name "The Elder Scrolls: Arena" was basically a last‑minute fix to pre‑printed boxes. 📦🧾🎮 • Ted Peterson says Arena shifted from tournament combat to full RPG as sidequests and dungeon‑delving took priority. • With boxes already printed, devs invented the Empire nickname "the Arena" and Vijay Lakshman slapped on "The Elder Scrolls" — its meaning barely defined. • A serendipitous, awkward label became the foundation of a decades‑long franchise. Would you keep a quirky, last‑minute title if it could become the next megafranchise, or rebrand for clarity? #ElderScrolls #GameHistory

hibernicus (@hibernicus_) reported@JezCorden Single player titles full exclusive PC/Xbox like Elder Scrolls 6. 'Live Service' titles like Forza Horizon multiplat Fable PS5 port needs cancelled. No 3P storefronts on Helix only Xbox PC, BattleNet, and console backwards compatibility. Helix needs subsidized to compete with PS6

onepiece (@onepiece9681) reported@vingadorbrambz Even though I don't really care about Call of Duty where does it stop though next year when the next lot of big AAA games coming out which one of them cost too much to make to put in the service and what about the next Elder Scrolls all Fallout game

Quebber 💙🇺🇦 🏳️🌈 (@Calranthe) reportedI used to pre-order every @BethesdaStudios game and every @WeArePlayground Forza game. Microslop has with it's enforcement of copilot and "service" convinced me to "wait and see", I am still looking forward to Elder scrolls 6, but until I see how and if they will support external modding I won't buy it. As for Forza horizons 6, the next instalment of my favourite car franchise, I want to see it running and make sure Microsoft hasn't forced copilot into it.

Trevor Rieger (@trevorriegerxxx) reportedThe 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.

HowDatFeel (@joseagu59410157) reported@MosesGames @TESOnline The only thing they care about is how to make 2 billions dollars again it's so sad I spent $60 for eso sub biggest mistake I have done they cant even fix day one bugs 😪

MadmanMadoochiMoola (@MadoochiMoola) reported@Pirat_Nation There is a very clear expectation from 2 totally different TITANS of the gaming industry. On one hand, Elder Scrolls 6. and on the other, GTA 6 1 is going to literally shut down countries and cause economic issues when it releases. The other one is going to be a 7/10 on IGN

𝙉𝙄𝙆𝙁𝙊𝙍 (@Nikfor_) reportedNow that it is confirmed Call of Duty will not launch on Game Pass Day One, it naturally makes me think about how this decision could affect The Elder Scrolls VI. CoD is a first party franchise with a lot of microtransactions, so removing it from Day One shows that Microsoft is adjusting how it approaches major releases. Elder Scrolls is one of Xbox’s biggest IPs, and ES6 will almost certainly have a massive budget while being a single player game with far fewer monetisation options than a live service title. Because of that, it is reasonable to wonder whether Microsoft might use a similar strategy there as well. Do you think ES6 could also skip Day One on Game Pass, or is this change truly limited to Call of Duty? I am genuinely curious how you all see this situation. I buy a lot of games myself and I also have Game Pass, so I am looking at it from both perspectives. If live service titles with strong monetisation are difficult to support on Game Pass, it raises interesting questions about how huge single player projects fit into the model. We will see how it develops in the coming months and years. Overall I think the change makes sense, but it also brings up some valid things to think about.

Elsie (@Meelsie143) reportedthe elder scrolls has a scope and scale problem that makes tamriel feel really underwhelming the scope is too wide and the scale is too small
-
GenericNPC (@GenericNPC187) reported@Swurv__ I don’t know about that. The Elder Scrolls used to be the gold standard in open-world RPG’s, but since then the industry has shifted dramatically and there’s a lot of competition. Elder Scrolls has a Bethesda problem if anything.

leah✨ (@arklay_) reportedam i actually stupid today LMAOOO i have SO many elder scrolls ocs 😭😭 doomed family sure had a time. many things going wrong in there. many arguments. many issues. absent parent. lots of death. then i have my other underdeveloped tes ocs that i need to do more with
-
🥓IndependentlyModerate🥓 (@IndependentFur) reported@GFoxlore @ClaireMax It's really not, especially depending on when the universe technically would be placed in the RL context. Most likely of it was Elder Scrolls for example, that issue never comes because it's not important to the plot.
-
The Dreamsgon (@dreamsleever) reported@brockpierson Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim or Morrowind or Oblivion, Mass Effect Legendary, Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077. The issue with doing it 12 hours a day if an MMO would be downtime due to maintenance!
-
TheHotnessZN (@ScottyDo48) reported@TESOnline None because the “talk to the curator” quest step is broken
-
Nicholas Hanson (@da_asmodai) reportedI have LOTS of ideas but probably either an Elder Scrolls style open world game with procedural terrain and dungeon generaition, AI agent NPCs so their schedules were more dynamic and they had unlimited voiced dialog options. Or a MMO that fixes all the things I think are broken in them.
-
fivetide (@fivetide) reportedBethesda packaged and shipped The Elder Scrolls themselves They learned how to assemble boxes inserts and use the heat gun They spent time shrink-wrapping the games themselves Bethesdas hands-on approach shows commitment to quality control but also means delays for eager fans Bethesda wrapping games themselves while others outsource If you are still waiting for your copy dont blame the postal service blame Bethesda for doing it all themselves

Luminous Beings are We… (@Lordofsparta) reported@tphill779 @TESOnline Yea same here. Ran most of the dailies but not the boss quests there wasn’t enough folks around to get a group. Had no issues on a vamp nb with high regen sneaking around for the other quests

-
Necrotic ♡ Cooties (@NecroticCooties) reported"Elder Scrolls 6 has big competition-" "New game will destroy TES6-" "Fans of TES won't need TES6 with this new game-" No, the problem is that there is no replacement or competition for it. Do you think we are playing TES for its unrivaled quality?? No. We are mentally ill.
