The Elder Scrolls 6 is in development at Bethesda Game Studios, a studio under Xbox's corporate umbrella, but that doesn't automatically mean it'll be an Xbox console exclusive. Xbox's approach and messaging around exclusivity has been inconsistent, but in the months following Asha Sharma's appointment as CEO, the company has been explicit about wanting a return to Xbox exclusives following a period of multiplatform embrace under the leadership of former CEO Phil Spencer. And yet, it remains a mystery whether games like The Elder Scrolls 6, which began development long before Bethesda was acquired by Xbox and are beloved world-over, will be exclusive to Xbox consoles.
At Gamescom 2026, the BBC (via GameSpot) had the chance to ask Sharma about Xbox's approach to exclusivity in general, and you won't be surprised to hear she didn't give the most direct answer.
