Since Microsoft acquired Bethesda, the biggest fear for PlayStation fans has been the future of The Elder Scrolls series. They were scared that this action RPG series would become an Xbox exclusive. This fear might be coming true after Phil Spencer’s latest announcement.

The Xbox CEO hinted that the next Elder Scrolls title wouldn’t be available on all platforms like in the past. Instead, The Elder Scrolls 6 would only be available for Xbox consoles and maybe PC.
