Yesterday, December 22, Microsoft released a 37-page response to a recent FTC lawsuit against its alleged acquisition of Activision Blizzard. On page six of the document, which can be viewed online (opens in a new tab), Xbox acknowledges that three upcoming Bethesda games will be exclusive to Xbox and PC systems.
However, the publisher does not name these three games, their names are crossed out in the document. “Xbox plans three future games [Bethesda]…will be exclusive to Xbox and PC,” the filing says, adding that these games are meant to be played “primarily for solo or small group play.”
It’s not immediately clear whether Starfield is included in these three Bethesda-developed games. However, since information that Starfield is an Xbox and PC exclusive has been public for several months now, there’s simply no need for Microsoft to hide Starfield in its filing against the FTC.
So it’s likely that these three Xbox and PC exclusive games haven’t been made public yet. It’s worth noting that another of the three games is most likely not Arkane’s Redfall, as like Starfield, the upcoming game’s Xbox and PC exclusivity has been known for a long time.
One of these games could very well be the Indiana Jones game developed by Wolfenstein’s Machine Games studio, about which we have little reliable information. Neither Xbox nor Bethesda have announced platforms for the upcoming game, which suggests that this game is one of the exclusives mentioned here.
