    @TESOnline Just out of curiosity is fixing the ongoing issue with ESO+ on the cards for this week or are you going to continue hurting people's account?

    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.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition developed by Bethesda Game Studios for the Nintendo Switch 2 port added improvements with an update 1.2 in February 2026 such as a new 60 FPS mode, a stable 30 FPS mode, and reduced input lag but it still costs $60 for a 15 year old game.

    @joseagu59410157 @TESOnline If it's not happening in mass, on a predictable basis, then chances are, it's something about your system that is causing the problem.

    @JeffsawHomes @IGN All while removing CoD, the biggest game in the service, setting a 1 year window for it's release, which is pointless for a mostly online game that does yearly releases. This also sets a precedent for other large games to not be included Day 1. Elder Scrolls VI, Halo 7, E-Day?

    @brockpierson Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim or Morrowind or Oblivion, Mass Effect Legendary, Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077. The issue with doing it 12 hours a day if an MMO would be downtime due to maintenance!

    @ZeniMax_Online The Elder Scrolls Online. It's been 25 days this issue has been going on. Previous tickets have been either cancelled or put on hold, your team is stating that it's been pushed to a "smaller" team. I paid for 1 month of ESO plus, never got it....

    @Swurv__ Crimson Desert isn't an Elder Scrolls killer but it's showing us what could... People say Skyrim holds up but I can't play it again without a few thousand mods, Lorerim/Nolvus completely revamp the game to a modern standard and I can't go back to vanilla. I enjoyed it in it's time but it's dead for anyone that's already been there done that... let's be honest. Bethesda has nothing to worry about on sales and player numbers on release day but they should be worried about retention. I can't play Starfield it's the same old jank it just looks a little better but in a few years once Bethesda tosses it aside and modders do their magic I'll probably put a thousand hours more on it. I'll pre order it the morning of release and wait a couple weeks before the refund deadline to play it, see if Bethesda has improved or not because I can't do another plain three slash bethesda game, I just can't it's 30 years old. It took them until starfield just to figure out ladders... LADDERS meanwhile FO4 modders made functional ladders in their engine they said couldn't do it lol that should be telling us something. The lore will save it, the lore is what most of us care about, we live with the bethesda jank but we shouldn't have to. They also forced their lore writer out, that's a problem...

    @DUSKdev I have no insight on this particular issue but I was the 7th or so artist hired for Elder Scrolls online back when ZOS was considered a sister studio to Bethesda and their company policies were frankly...absurd. Back then working in concept art I sketched everything on pencil/paper and had requested a basic scanner for my desk for months, got fed up and decided to bring in my own only to walk into work the next day to see my entire desk being packed up by IT as they were reading paperwork to fire me for breaking employee-code, thankfully my lead at the time saved my ***. Bethesda is a company/studio that's ran by lawyers and very overzealous leadership first and foremost so something this petty doesn't strike me out of the realm of possibility. I was present for a few town halls when New Vegas was in development and it was fairly palpable that Bethesda main had little love for the New Vegas project.

    @vicious696 What about elder scrolls 6 then ? It looks like if game have high sales potential it will not be on the service. Thats the dangerous precedent and to be honest it’s killing the whole point of gamepass.

    This proves HOW FOOLISH you are You have given MS/Xbox license to REMOVE 1st party games using the EXCUSE of cost ratio to XGP users Will Elder Scrolls 6 be in XGP? Maybe the cost of the game is too much per MS You fools have made a mess of a great service all becuz of

    @TESOnline I would suggest for killing enemies in specific zones, please enable delves and public dungeons. This will prevent issues because over world mobs respawn so slowly and the campers are furious if anyone even looks at the mobs their camping.

    @TESOnline If Vengeance is your answer to the pvp issues that plague endgame, then do us all a favour please, Make it a separate entity and just leave what we have had - alone. If people want to play a slower game, non cp server - then let them. If they want Icereach - let them.

    @blacknredtext Ahem So: The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Breath of the Wilds, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Assasin's Creed Licence (the first games), CRPGs as a whole The problem is that we do not question if open world is a good idea, but how do we make it open world.

    @JamieMoranUK It very much was broken and completely unfinished on a **** game game engine. Today, it's a much better game than it was, but it's still mediocre. To each his own type a thing. I'd rather have a new fallout game or Elder scrolls.

    @CodyCoo15122985 @Swurv__ Tainted grail is one thing but if you think that the witcher of all franchises satiates the fix left by the elder scrolls then I seriously can't fathom what you like about the games to begin with, they're literally polar opposites nothing alike in the slightest

    Gilbs (@GilbertoRondo16) reported

    @NikTek @CosmicMatt92 It would still be a huge problem having to load to enter every single house, dungeon, castle, whatever, this engine is abysmal dogshit, and they should have changed it after Skyrim, a have zero faith in the next Elder Scrolls game, unfortunatelly.

    @Pirat_Nation Using an old *** engine The HORRIBLE train wreck Fallout 76 was not just as a game but the entire fraud and bunch of irl issues around it. Then starfield… People saying they dont even expect Elder scrolls 6 to be good anymore is a realistic mindset. Bethesda WAS, but isnt now.

    @Pirat_Nation There is a very clear expectation from 2 totally different TITANS of the gaming industry. On one hand, Elder Scrolls 6. and on the other, GTA 6 1 is going to literally shut down countries and cause economic issues when it releases. The other one is going to be a 7/10 on IGN
