I don't think anyone really saw this happening, that's pretty interesting.This presents Microsoft a serious opportunity to have real exclusives over the Playstation brand this generation. They might decide to allow the likes of Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and Doom to publish on multiple systems still recognizing the value of wider reach, but they could make the Xbox brand that much more stronger by keeping these off of Playstation.

I dunno, I'm just stating obvious things here, but this is a really interesting development since Xbox has historically lacked exclusives when compared to Playstation as a direct competitor.

Yeah i definitely did not see this coming. Glad they did as this adds a major name to their portfolio. Combined with all the other acquisitions and existing names, its gonna be good for the brand.

Plus, Bethesda games on gamepass day one is a pretty huge deal.

Phil said earlier they will honor the exclusive deal already in place w Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo, but future Bethesda titles will be xbox and pc, with "other consoles" considered on a case by case basis.

This will bring lots of people into the MS ecosystem, whether on xbox or pc thanks to gamepass. Maybe gamepass will work its way onto switch, im sure this has been discussed behind the scenes but in all honesty with the ability to play gamepass from my phone now its no longer as needed.

Tbh if i was them id buy the right to some franchises that arent used atm such as silent hill, castlevania and even contra since konami is such a mess. Buying sega would be okay but idk if they would bring back some older titles such as panzer dragoon and shining force

One things for sure, they are aggressively gobbling up studios, there's 23 now under the MS umbrella. Future looking bright.

I bet we hear of another one or two before launch.
