I get why PS5 players should be upset, but as a PC player, this is also bad news.
Starfield had to run on the Xbox, the base model of which is the least powerful console on the market (leaving out Nintendo). It seems clear that some decisions around Starfield were made to ensure it would still run on that lackluster hardware.
Doubling down on that for ESVI means the same thing. We’ll get less game so that M$ can have an exclusive.
And that’s ignoring general trust issues with Bethesda entirely.

Why is this news?
Did anyone think after Starfield this would be coming out any time soon at all? Youre kidding yourself if you did.

Actual data shows it closer to 4:3.
MS does not care - they want to increase their marketshare
It rhymes even
We as Microsoft are the bastion of cross-platform releases. Our games run on Xbox and Windows.
I don‘t support Microsoft in any way but it is kinda funny that some PlayStation Users seem to feel personally attacked that Microsoft starts to do all the exclusivity shit that Sony has done for ages. Quit treating the whole thing as a team thing - a my team vs. that other team thing. Sony AND Microsoft are companies that will both fuck you over within the blink of an eye if it will make them money or damage the other company.

I don’t even own a PlayStation so why should I quit anything? In fact, I’m a PC gamer running Windows. I can make my dumb jokes as often as I like and when I want to make fun of the fact that both Microsoft and Bethesda claimed before the acquisition that it was not about removing cross-platform support for Bethesda games and Microsoft also claims to “❤️ Linux”, you cannot stop me, even if you’d like to.
I also find it hilarious that Microsoft apologists claim that “that Sony has done the same for ages” which is factually untrue. Sony hardly ever bought cross-platform games in-house for PlayStation exclusivity (maybe the would of they had enough spare money but they don’t). Sony also releases plenty of games for Microsoft platforms, including MLB The Show, Horizon, Spider-Man, Ratchet and Clank, God of War, etc. Heck, the recently announced Marathon reboot is confirmed to come to Xbox and not just PlayStation and Microsoft Windows. Much of my PC gaming in recent years was spent playing Sony games on Windows.
I bought a PS5 because my old XBone was on the fritz, and the series x wasn’t available at the time… plus hardware failure from the Xbone made me lean towards Sony anyway. Hard-core console gamers also helped push me into it as well… “who cares about Halo, you will be able to play all the good games on either console”.
I have no team, and now I kind of regret even buying a console at all, it’s only real feature for me is it has a fast boot up time lol. Every other article about a new game seems to be a kick in the nuts to console owners.

Get a Steam Deck and every game release is a thrill ride of will the game run fine.
(Honestly, I love my Deck and stopped playing most AAA games because they annoy the fuck out of me with padding for length and ads for DLC and such.)
What’s the benefit of Steam deck vs something like Ally ROG? Genuine question, I have no horse in the race. (I can’t even find as much time as I wished to game in my free time at home, I am definitely not going to spend book reading time on subpar gaming)
Ease of use. Windows on such a small screen is not much fun. For more details, look up some of the plenty comparisons on YouTube.
I have completely lost confidence in Bethesda.

What did you think would really happen when Microsoft bought them?
Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout 76.
Even before that. With Fallout 76’s launch, they just didn’t care anymore.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A document released as part of the FTC v. Microsoft case confirms what was long expected: The Elder Scrolls VI isn’t going to launch for a few years, and it isn’t coming to PlayStation.
And much like Bethesda’s most recent games — Starfield and Redfall — it’ll be available on both PC and Xbox when it does launch.
In a statement about exclusivity attached to The Elder Scrolls VI section of the chart, which comes from an interview with Xbox head Phil Spencer in GQ, Spencer said, “In order to be on Xbox, I want us to be able to bring the full complete package of what we have.
The Elder Scrolls VI was first revealed back in 2018, though we haven’t heard much about Bethesda’s next fantasy adventure since then.
That would include Starfield, The Elder Scrolls VI, and the upcoming Indiana Jones game.
This reveal is just part of a deluge of new details that came out of the case today, including Microsoft’s plan to stream PC cloud games, Activision Blizzard’s briefing on the next Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft’s reaction to the PS5 announcement.
