2020 is getting real weird, as Microsoft is now gonna be releasing PS5 exclusives thanks to the Zenimax / Bethesda acquisition
— Tom Warren (@tomwarren) September 21, 2020
Games from the Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, DOOM, Dishonored, Prey, Quake, Starfield and other franchises becoming part of Xbox Game Studios and part of Xbox Game Pass makes the Xbox platform / ecosystem significantly more attractive.
— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) September 21, 2020
Big investment in Game Pass. https://t.co/loROZIlUom
Buying Bethesda could instantly solve the much discussed 1st party exclusive title problem for Xbox.
— Gavin Baker (@GavinSBaker) September 21, 2020
*If* they make Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Starfield Xbox/PC exclusives, then it is a significant shift in the Playstation vs. XBox balance of power.
Three billion people look to gaming for entertainment, community, and achievement and our ambition is to empower each of them, wherever they play. Today is a step forward on that journey as we welcome the beloved studios and franchises of @Bethesda to @Xbox https://t.co/LENQCXTwBg

I think it's pretty telling that Microsoft hasn't said that IP like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls will remain multiplatform. I think this buy is to help solve Xbox's "no exclusives" problem. PC will get them too, obviously. Xbox + Game Pass benefits massively from this.
