-
TheSlayer (@TheSlayerzero) reported@DVADigital323 It should not its elder scrolls lol And if it’s exclusive to console and pc Its Not working out and Not going to make enough Money Same with e day is Coming to ps5 anyways
-
Destiny 2 Funeral Atendee (@imStrawHatART) reportedElder scrolls 4 and 5 have been milked longer than the longest live service game you can think of this is unreal
-
Ryan (@Triicksster) reportedSo Elder Scrolls 6 is probably taking another 2-3 years minimum, but really I just need Bethesda to get their **** together on optimizing their games' performance. Starfield and especially the Oblivion remake has MASSIVE performance issues, and Bethesda won't even acknowledge it
-
FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reportedNothing says “healthy industry” like an Elder Scrolls 6 demo under executive applause while a giant inflatable rat watches from outside. That rat is the more honest mascot. Xbox leadership gets the live playthrough, the talk about scale and story, the nice clean vision of the future. Outside, Bethesda workers are flying flags for people gutted by Microsoft’s 2026 layoffs and reminding everyone what that future is built on. This is the part the industry keeps trying to edit out: you do not get the prestige showcase without the labor, and you do not get to celebrate the craft while treating the people making it like a restructuring line item. The game isn’t the contradiction. The executive narrative is. If workers need an inflatable rat to make the real mood visible during your big fantasy RPG victory lap, the problem is not optics. It’s that the optics are accurate.

Jonathan.G (@Jonathan2134) reportedI remember this problem with elder scrolls: morrowind and other times. People don't own jack crap can just mute your audio.
-
Weathering The Storm (@StolenDaughter) reported@TESOnline I installed today's patch and can't log in because it doesn't recognize the patch... fix this immediately.
-
🕹️G🅰MESTUFFS🎮 (@RouaniJihad) reported@NOTimothyLottes Ratchet and Clank is the only modern Sony game that interests me, none of what they're doing these days is attractive which is mostly GoW and Spiderman and a billion live service flop... My taste is largely fulfilled by XBOX which is RPGs like Starfield, Avowed, OW2, Clockwork Revolution, and hopefully a frickin Elder Scrolls game soon
-
Ronin_Blades (@ronin_blades) reported@LoneWolfMitsuni Thats fair, however elder scrolls and fallout are still two very good and popular series which are plagued with bugs and optimization issues... so I wouldn't call Beasts of Reincarnation **** til you play or seen someone play it to get the full scope of the game. Thats just my op
-
Raintop | Debut Summer 2026 (@RaintopCroptop) reportedAside from my hype for fallout 3 and new Vegas remastered, this is just kinda lip service. We’ve known about 3 and new Vegas getting remastered for years and they still have nothing to show for elder scrolls 6
-
Stephen Sutherland (@sjsuth) reported@pcgamer There is one problem and it’s that outside of the cities and some set piece locations, exploration was in cardboard procedurally-generated environments. There was zero reason to explore any of it, whereas all you want to do in Elder Scrolls and Fallout is explore.
-
Hearthywatcher (@hearthywatcher) reported@KeezTheFlex @SentMush @Caffeinefunk 100% agree with this they have way more corporate bs that is their problem. Loading is more minor yet understandable qol. They dont even have the og lore guy for elder scrolls. Like wtf. The main lore guy for everything up to skyrim is gone. ES6 might be doo too from that alone.
-
Dannydangersenpai (@dannyboywood1) reported@TESOnline Why is season 1 all pink and sparkly. I'm not gay or anything. Is the lead a woman or something? Seems to be the issue everywhere
-
Big Tasty (@Smegbort) reported@SynthPotato the issues with Starfield and Creation Engine was that *everything* was treated the same way interior spaces are treated in Fallout and Elder Scrolls. I have way less of an issue with loading screens when theres a full open map to walk around in between.
-
JULL (@BeffGod) reported@de3dsoul The elder scrolls iv oblivion remastered even has fps issues on the ps5 pro. They did a terrible job
-
Alonso A (@WaifusTrash) reported@SynthPotato It was a massive problem for Starfield because everything needed a loading screen. This is not much of a problem in Elder Scrolls or Fallout. There is a lot more to explore and see between the loading screens. This is something that was severely lacking in Starfield.
-
DeLa-Fuente (@itsFante) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I keep getting “login failed. Unexpected internal error has occured”
-
Virkokka (@virkokka) reported@SuperP1ayerX @GHBSmith The issue is that I care about Elder Scrolls, not the other games. There's still not enough value for me to buy a console, even if all the other games were also exclusive.
-
Justin (@Justin__NC) reported@_Deez_Games It is good news for all their franchises. I welcome it But the problem is that we should be talking fallout 6 and elder scrolls 7 coming out soon. They should be doing concept work for fallout 7 and elder scrolls 7/8 by now, not just starting fallout 5
-
Shifty_Chicken (@chicken_shifty) reported@SEnighTHO @JezCorden Fallout and Elder Scrolls arent the XBox identity. Both predat XBox. Fallout was a completely different game before the IP was bought. Problem is XBox's core identity games were selling consoles to begin with. EDay will be an interesting test.
-
CyberEagle (@CyberEagle1989) reportedVortex failed to install my modlist correctly AGAIN, so now I'm installing an OpenMW modlist just in case I need and Elder Scrolls fix, while I consider what game to play (it might or might not be OpenMW)
-
God Emperor SofaKing (@clevercolt64) reportedThis is the ******* problem with fans, constantly defending devs. Literally if this dumbass would’ve actually read the message that Bethesda put out They didn’t even start production on fallout 5 and this ************ is wondering why people are getting fired they’re getting fired because they’re not ******* doing what people want them to do. They’re not making games people want. We’re literally 15+ years on waiting on a new elder scrolls, title and some of us will be ******* dead before we even play fallout five
-
Is Halo 7 out yet? (@Halo_HypeGuy) reportedAvowed could've been an Elder Scrolls spinoff. I respect Obsidian for trying to do something half-orginal tho. **** Bethesda and Todd Howard, how you keep your biggest IPs on live service hell for a decade!?
-
MidwestNomad (@dedmeetdm) reported@BethesdaStudios Well that's a bunch of word salad PR BS. It'll be almost 20 years since a proper Elder Scrolls, and nearly as much before the next Fallout. Microsoft should shut you down and give these franchises to a company that actually cares. You all left Fallout 4 broken for over a year.
-
Vessel (@BlacklitEden) reported@JezCorden We gotta stop blaming 2013 for the various **** Xbox is in in 2026. PS3 was in just as much **** and was able to fix it within a generation. E.g. Mattrick didn't convince Satya/Hood to spend 7bil on Bethesda, then do **** all with Fallout/Elder Scrolls.
-
Narik (@MusicNarik) reported@lastchalice You use *Oblivion Remastered* as an argument that *The Elder Scrolls VI* needs to be released on PlayStation. But people overlook an important detail: *Oblivion* is part of a strategy defined years ago under the leadership of Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond as part of "Project Latitude" when the priority was expanding Xbox games to other platforms. Strategies change. Leadership changes. The market changes. If Asha Sharma truly intends to rebuild the value of the Xbox brand, *The Elder Scrolls VI* is precisely the kind of game that should remain exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem. We are talking about an IP capable of selling consoles, strengthening Game Pass, giving consumers a clear reason to choose Xbox, and even weakening the competition's catalog in the next generation. Exclusivity has never been a problem for Sony, Nintendo, or any company looking to strengthen its ecosystem. On the contrary, it creates an identity for the platform. Xbox's biggest mistake was abandoning that differentiator; now, they are going to pursue it more aggressively. And that is absolutely right: if you want to play games from Bethesda, ABK, and Xbox Game Studios, buy an Xbox, subscribe to Game Pass, or buy the game on Steam—PlayStation and Switch won't have access to these games anymore!

Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) reportedSkyrim sold 30 million copies. Then Bethesda announced its sequel. Skyrim sold 30 million more. Most studios rush sequels because the old game stops selling. Bethesda had the opposite problem, and it explains the longest wait in modern gaming. Skyrim launched in 2011. Twelve years later it was the seventh best-selling game in history, ported to roughly ten platforms, some of them twice. There's a version that runs on Amazon Alexa. Every year without The Elder Scrolls VI was a year the 2011 game faced zero internal competition. A sequel kills the back catalog. As long as VI stayed a teaser, Skyrim remained the newest mainline entry in one of gaming's biggest franchises, and it kept compounding into a 60 million unit annuity. Todd Howard even asked fans to "pretend we didn't announce it." That sounds like embarrassment. It's also exactly what you'd say if your 15-year-old game was outselling most studios' new releases. Now Xbox's CEO is teasing a censored subtitle after a live playthrough. The moment they finally say the name out loud is the moment the Skyrim annuity starts its countdown. Eight asterisks is what it looks like when a company decides the annuity has finally run its course.

muskett (@_Muskett_) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Ps5 was logged in playing, went to get some food and can't login now. Forum says end time is 20.00 UTC.

TJ Jimmy Falker (@FalkerTj) reported@aaniVibeTheory Idk fallout new vegas if you can polish it a bit and fix bugs without ****** up what was there. Elder scrolls Morowind too... if you mean an upgraded revamp the true crime streets series. Dont kill my wallet though fo an already made polish up. Bought it once prior save my wallet
-
Neon Daybreak (@_neondaybreak_) reported@TESOnline Idc what sheogorath did to her, I can fix her
-
MarvinHeemeyerthe2nd (@heemeyerthe2nd) reported@GHBSmith The problem with Starfield was it was so interior heavy that you had to go through 5 loading screens to get to where you wanted. An Elder Scrolls game wouldn’t necessarily have this issue.
