  @NikTek For elder scrolls 6, I feel like es6 will be absolute garbage especially after what they did too starfield, it wasn’t a cyberpunk but main did it have issues like the flying for example, and also the faction system in the game was soo awful like you literally do four quests and

  @Swurv__ Nah. They f’d up with starfield and posting the teaser to elder scrolls when they never started work on it just to appease their investors. They’ve had years to fix starfield but still obviously haven’t.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Can you please fix the glitch that just started the last 72 hours where the game won't let you pick anything up while not having anything on you? Also as we're finishing up missions & are about to try to pickup our winnings we get kicked from the server please this is annoying

  @StarfieldNews Not advertised as an addition? You're not serious I hope. So simple logic, common sense and standards we can expect don't count anymore? So the cars of future racing games can now have 3 tires? The next Elder Scrolls game don't need swords or magic spells? And older games with less resources and lower hardware requirement just had it because it was advertised? No one can defend that size of laziness and bad work what Xbox have delivered with Starfield and overall since the Game Pass. But maybe that's the problem of the Xbox players: They don't have any expectations and don't know whats possible.

  Wild origin story unearthed at PCG towers — the name "The Elder Scrolls: Arena" was basically a last‑minute fix to pre‑printed boxes. 📦🧾🎮 • Ted Peterson says Arena shifted from tournament combat to full RPG as sidequests and dungeon‑delving took priority. • With boxes already printed, devs invented the Empire nickname "the Arena" and Vijay Lakshman slapped on "The Elder Scrolls" — its meaning barely defined. • A serendipitous, awkward label became the foundation of a decades‑long franchise. Would you keep a quirky, last‑minute title if it could become the next megafranchise, or rebrand for clarity? #ElderScrolls #GameHistory

  Now that it is confirmed Call of Duty will not launch on Game Pass Day One, it naturally makes me think about how this decision could affect The Elder Scrolls VI. CoD is a first party franchise with a lot of microtransactions, so removing it from Day One shows that Microsoft is adjusting how it approaches major releases. Elder Scrolls is one of Xbox’s biggest IPs, and ES6 will almost certainly have a massive budget while being a single player game with far fewer monetisation options than a live service title. Because of that, it is reasonable to wonder whether Microsoft might use a similar strategy there as well. Do you think ES6 could also skip Day One on Game Pass, or is this change truly limited to Call of Duty? I am genuinely curious how you all see this situation. I buy a lot of games myself and I also have Game Pass, so I am looking at it from both perspectives. If live service titles with strong monetisation are difficult to support on Game Pass, it raises interesting questions about how huge single player projects fit into the model. We will see how it develops in the coming months and years. Overall I think the change makes sense, but it also brings up some valid things to think about.

  @GamewithDave A year ago, I would've said Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, but now I'd say Lunar: Dragon Song. If they could fix the game's infamously godawful gameplay, I'd give it a chance.

  @Johnnymetal80 @Septic_Sauce The anticipation for the follow-up to Skyrim is a money maker approaching GTA. A lot more upfront sales will be lost with Elder Scrolls 6, so with this move I no longer have confidence in Game Pass as a service. It was about guarantees, no doubt, and that's now gone.

  @DetectiveSeeds Don't have to be a "detective" to tell that CoD is just the start and future big games like Elder scrolls etc will also be absent from GP day one. Xbox will copy ps plus where big games join the service 6-12 months later 🤷🏻

  @xonebros I think long running franchises like Elder Scrolls, GTA and even my beloved Halo are in for a rude awakening. The gap between their entries is way too wide. We've gone from 3-5 years to 10-12 or more. The fans of the previous games move on and in some cases become developers themselves. That's where we see games like Crimson Desert, Expedition 33 and more come into the picture. These developers were inspired by the old franchises and made their own games with passion. GTA, Elder Scrolls and Halo are now established corporate franchises. Each entry has come out feeling more like it's trying to appease a corporate overlord that's demanding more revenue be generated from a single title instead of creating a one and done game in a timely manner New gamers are also coming along that aren't familiar with said franchises due to the gap in releases. A kid born on the release day for Skyrim is now in high school. They grew up with Skyrim being "that old game that Dad liked". While some may have gotten curious and gone back to experience and enjoy Skyrim (much like I went back to experience and later love Pac-Man and Donkey Kong), many just played whatever the new hotness was. In many cases, that was a cheap or free to play live service title like Fortnite, Roblox or Minecraft that could be experienced on any device they owned. Elder Scrolls VI and other legacy franchises have to deal with these. I think GTA 6 is going to be a massive test for these legacy titles and I don't think it's going to sell as strong as people think. A combination of unfamiliarity with GTA in Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the inflated cost of modern AAA will be a massive deterrent. I'm sure my fellow Millennial and Gen X gamers will buy it...assuming they haven't aged out of the hobby. Sadly, as that terrible Game Rant top 10 🐐 of gaming survey showed, we're becoming a rare breed in the industry.

  @TESOnline How are you meant to claim login when you have taken that feature away? Also, it is 99 days to claim but there's 97 days of the season? Make it make sense.

  @klobrille @Xavier1415 The strategy that needs to happen is simple. No more PlayStation or Nintendo ports for any of the major pillar franchises from XGS. That includes new IPs from XGS, big IPs from Bethesda like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, Doom, Quake...and Blizzard IPs. The only games that should remain multiplatform are Minecraft, COD, and other legacy Activision IPs. Except for Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. Second thing that needs to happen is crucial for hardware growth. Timed exclusivity between Xbox and PC. PC ports should be delayed a full year after the initial release on Xbox, or thrown out entirely. Not every first party game needs to be on PC. Only do it for games that make sense. Looking at Age of Empires and Flight Sim as examples. Finally, stronger third-party exclusivity deals need to happen, especially if XGS publishes a third party game. Imagine for a second if XGS had made Ninja Gaiden 4 a permanent exclusive. It would have made a stronger case to invest in the console, and would bring a whole different vibe and energy for the platform. Xbox needs to be more aggressive in this way to actually achieve higher console sales, and a higher level of mind share in the market.

  Blame on Bethesda and their goddamn creation engine. I wouldn't be surprised if The Elder Scrolls VI is gonna have problems too and don't tell me it won't just because it's a ******* updated creation engine. Also, I really think Bethesda likes to **** on Playstation somehow.🤔

  @Alex_Kozinets @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What lag? I don't have lag. I got disconnected at a very inconvenient time, and was presented with an idiotic long login queue. I still wasted almost half of my remaining gaming time of the evening, which btw is already very limited. So frustration is high when **** don't work.

  @KentonVarda Morrowind Elder Scrolls was almost liek this... The areas were distinct.. didn't level difficulty based on your character level... and although you could fast travel through certain towns, it was a paid service and didn't go everywhere Atmospherically Morrowind > Oblivion for sure

  @Der_Kernel_ Pretty sure people it's more cope that modders will fix whatever mess Bethesda shits out but modders never bothered with Bethesda's last slop release so I'm not sure why anyone is coping that they'll fix Elder Scrolls 6.
