Microsoft: Phil Spencer talks about the exclusivity of Bethesda

Microsoft has endeavored for several years to invest a lot of money in the purchase of developer studios and publishers. 7.5 billion dollars recently finished the acquisition of Zenimax Media or Bethesda. The goals that Microsoft persecutes are no secret: the redmonders want to expand the Xbox Game Pass Velvet Xbox Cloud for an offer that is perceived by more people than it would be possible on the Xbox consoles.

Already in the October of last year , Microsoft s Phil Spencer explained: I think for us it s about setting priorities and achieve more players. So we went to the PC for the Xbox first, because there are so many players worldwide, which do not own Xbox and which we could achieve. Next we went to the mobile phone because there is a billion Android phones in the world. This is much bigger than any console player base.

Exclusive matches with exceptions

After the acquisition of Zenimax or Bethesda, Spencer underpinned the plans again and made a hint that could be viewed as an indication that PS5 players have to do without the fulfillment of obligations on most Bethesda games. MMOS, existing contracts and brands that have a legacy on other platforms seem to make an exception.

I listen to the podcasts and all the questions. So I will try to be as clear as possible. Because that s that of which I think it s just fair. Of course, I can not sit here and say that every Bethesda game is exclusive because we know that s not true. There are contractual obligations we will comply as we always do it in any of these cases, said the Xbox boss.

According to Spencer, there are games that already exist on other systems. And these games should continue to be supported on the external platforms. There are communities of players. We love these communities and we will continue to invest in them. And even in the future, there could be things that have either contractual things or have a legacy on other platforms we will then make, the further statement.

Exclusive games on platforms with Xbox Game Pass

Spencer s words could mean that well-known brands like The Elder Scrolls or Fallout will continue to appear on systems like the PS5. That s certain, however, is not, because the great goal is exclusivity. This does not mean the pure exclusivity to the Xbox consoles, but the availability in the Xbox Game Pass, which is to be offered on as many platforms as possible.

If you are an Xbox customer, I want you to know that it is about delivering great exclusive games for you, which are delivered on platforms on which the Game Pass exists. And that s our goal. That s why we do that. This is the root of this partnership we build up. And the creative skills that we bring to market for our Xbox customers will be the best that ever existed for Xbox after we finished here, says Spencer.

Success and trophies: what is it for?

Over the last 50 years, the game as a hobby has become a pillar of entertainment. It is vast and everyone can enjoy it. It is so great that there are subsections and communities for niche interests in the game. One of these interests that have arisen over the last 15 years are achievements and trophies. In the 90s and most of the 2000s, when your friend asked you if you beat a game, the meaning was pretty standard. Have you played through the main solo campaign? Simple answer by yes or no. Nowadays, the language has evolved a lot. You can always beat a game, but there are other terms, like completing and 100%, which have very different meanings. These often refer to the optional objectives and the meta-completion that accompanies the achievement of all the successes or trophies of the game. Success and trophies have changed the way to see the finished games. On their respective platforms, the games have goals that will be completed in the game and followed outside the game. You
