I feel like the value in capitalizing on big franchises like Doom and Fallout is a smart idea but there is a catch when looking at some properties over others.
It will be an exclusive, I can promise that. Given the decline of the Halo fanbase and Infinite's mixed reception, Starfield is poised to fill a gap that could be left behind. As mentioned in the above video, Starfield also fits that space adventure niche that Halo currently resides in.

With new IPs like Starfield, it would make sense to make those games exclusive to Xbox Series X/S and PC because those are brand new communities that can be built from the ground up. When asked about the future of exclusivity, Spencer mentioned that the team is honoring the pre-agreed PlayStation 5 timed exclusivity for games like Ghostwire and Deathloop, but all IPs going forward would be on a case by case basis.

With Bethesda and id Software being among the studios under the ZeniMax umbrella, the fate of many epic franchises remains unclear. "But Phil Spencer said."īefore we dive right in, I do want to reference a comment made by Xbox boss Phil Spencer. If this acquisition happened four or so years ago, I would not have hesitated to say every Bethesda IP would now be an Xbox exclusive, but now? The game has changed in a big way, and that's not a sure thing. So different, in fact, that it oblierates how we look at comparing the two platforms. Microsoft would be well within their rights to make everything acquired an exclusive.Īnother factor into the statements made included a deep dive I recently published concerning Sony and Microsoft having wildly different marketing strategies for next gen. That being said, I'm also not saying my word is law. To do otherwise is basically asking to be crucified, and trust me, gaming journalists get enough of that already. I'm not going to say anything, especially not to a large audience like Game Informer, unless I can back it up and have experiences that lend validity. I have a master's degree in business with a focus on marketing and I've been in this industry for 17 years. The statements made about the acquisition weren't just wishful thinking. Perspective backgroundįirst, some background. While we clearly stated that there are definitely going to be some exclusives to come out of this, the biggest question that hit our inboxes was about The Elder Scrolls 6.

Sony adds that it might follow the same route as "Starfield" and "Elder Scrolls." However, the PlayStation maker refused to accept the offer.Īnd now, the Japanese giant is raising concerns about the possibility of future Call of Duty titles ending up as Xbox exclusives. It is worth noting that Microsoft also reportedly reached out to Sony to forge a deal to bring "Call of Duty" titles in the next 10 years. The Japanese gaming firm notes that "it is about the impact of Microsoft making new Call of Duty releases (which are launched every year) exclusive." However, the PlayStation maker argues that the concern is with future "Call of Duty" games. Not to mention it has forged a partnership with cloud gaming services like Ubitus and Boosteroid.
