Since the launch of the official Starfield trailer, PlayStation owners have been waiting for the announcement of the title’s release for other platforms. And Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda Game Studios only leads to stronger beliefs about Bethesda titles coming to other platforms later on.

Well, this is definitely not the case. General Manager of Xbox Games Marketing, Aaron Greenberg reveals on Twitter that the RPG will be exclusive.
