It’s been over 10 years since the release of the legendary Skyrim , and fans of the series are eagerly waiting for any news about the next part. Players who prefer PlayStation consoles may be disappointed, as recent information indicates that the game may not be released on PS5.
Xbox has delivered bad news for Sony console supporters who are looking forward to The Elder Scrolls VI . Since Xbox took over Bethesda , it has not yet been definitively said whether TES VI will appear on PlayStation 5. It must be assumed that the new installment will not be released on PS5, but previous vague comments from Xbox and the fact that the company releases some games for Sony consoles, make players still hope for the PS version of the six. There has been no final announcement from Xbox yet, although some sources seem to be putting the final nail in the coffin.
Microsoft is currently trying to convince UK regulators not to block the acquisition of Activision and Blizzard. They presented several arguments for this. One of them mentions The Elder Scrolls 6 as a ‘medium caliber game’, so exclusivity is not an issue. It is also assumed that not releasing the game on the PlayStation platform will not eliminate voting rights, as the last installment of the series was released in 2011 (of course, we omit the numerous special editions released over the years).

In the chart created by Xbox, the company divides its games into three categories: Niche, New IP/Uncertain Audience, and Mass Market. According to Microsoft, the first and second categories are the least likely to be exclusive to Xbox consoles. In the case of the middle category, the opposite is true, and this is where The Elder Scrolls VI appears to come in .
For now, there is no confirmation that TES VI will appear on PS5, but you can’t get your head cut off for this state of affairs. If the game came out now, under the scrutiny of regulators, perhaps there would be a better chance of it being cross-platform. On the other hand, the six has not been released for many years and it is hard to imagine that it will also appear on PS5 on the day of release. sum summarum. if you, as PS5 players, are looking forward to the new TES , it’s worth getting the Xbox Series X or assembling a decent gaming computer.
