Microsoft Will Not Interfere With Bethesda's Announced PS5 Exclusives
Today's acquisition of ZeniMax Media Inc. by Microsoft has made some waves in the industry. This is especially true of two games that were listed in the catalogue of the Redmond giant - Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo. They were announced as temporary exclusive titles on PS5, and Phil Spencer confirms that nothing will change in this regard.
Today, the world heard that Microsoft has taken over ZeniMax Media Inc., along with all its studios. We also learned that Sony was in talks with Bethesda about Starfield's temporary console exclusivity. While no binding decisions were made in that case, the company still has two games coming only to PlayStation 5 in its hands, namely Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo. Xbox manager Phil Spencer has told Bloomberg's journalist Dina Bass that the company has no intention of interfering and that the contracts will not be broken. He also confirmed that Bethesda's subsequent games will be released on PC, Xbox and "other consoles, depending on the case".
