Will be interesting to see which direction MS takes the studios.
Imagine how fantastic this will be if MS makes Bethesda use a new engine for their games, one that isn't appalling ***** and bugged.

All I care about is Elder Scrolls, nothing else, I just want another mainstream Elder Scrolls game. Don't mess with the formula, which means no more online MMO crap, not even co-op, just a moddable, full next-gen Elder Scrolls single-player game with gameplay, graphics, story, size and depth improvements.
i'm willing to bet that's because you're coming a very old ES game to new current open world games.Less interested in TES and Fallout as I used to be... Other games just do open world a lot better than them
I do wonder what the future implication for gaming is. Hopefully it is postive for gamers and not just MS.
But the days of paying 5 different subscription services to play all triple A games; all of which are broken messes because they've already got your money, seem to be fast approaching.Gaming is clearly moving to subscription model, it's unstoppable now. Cloud gaming might even supersede hardware, but I'm not 100% convinced it can succeed.
The days of buying titles from Bethesda for £50 and finding out that they're a buggy mess with no way of getting a refund are now gone. Thankfully.

Starfield is confirmed day 1 game pass on PC!
If you are a PC gamer or want to buy the new Xbox as well its great news as MS will want more Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Doom & some of the other franchises so expect a lot more games from the Bethesda studios. If you are buying a PS5 then I guess its not great news at all!!
That’s a serious commitment right there
7.5 billion dollars ooft
can't they just use the latest idtech incarnation or is that just tuned for FPS games? Seems to run quite well.Let's hope that this means Bethesda will finally be forced to ditch the Creation Engine.
The Oblivion ↔ Skyrim comparisons are often looked at through rose-tinted glasses. If you go back and play Oblivion, it's still a quality game, but it suffers from so many limitations and it's clear Bethesda were learning to adapt to the console world.I expected a lot more from Skyrim really but it didn't feel like they'd advanced things much from Oblivion, other than graphically (though maybe that was due to rose-tinted glasses on my part)...
