The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel has finally been announced by Bethesda, the subtitle at least, but there's still one major question surrounding the upcoming RPG: will it be exclusive to Xbox? The game was originally announced back in 2018, and fans have spent more than eight years waiting for another substantial update. Now, Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel will take place in Hammerfell, home of the Redguards.

The question of The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel's exclusivity has been around ever since Microsoft acquired Bethesda. At the time, Xbox was heavily focused on exclusive games, but its strategy has changed considerably since then. Games like Forza Horizon and Halo have made their way to PlayStation, suggesting that even Microsoft's biggest franchises aren't necessarily staying exclusive. However, new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has placed more emphasis on exclusivity (Gears of War: E-Day, for example), leaving some uncertainty about whether Sentinel will eventually come to PlayStation (or remain an Xbox console exclusive).

A new update for Xbox consoles launches, bringing with it the long-awaited Mythic Achievements, plus other additions and bug fixes.

Bethesda head Todd Howard has addressed this exact question, although his answer doesn't provide much clarity. Speaking with Windows Central, Howard was asked whether The Elder Scrolls 6 would be exclusive to Xbox . His response was simply "too early to comment," leaving the possibility of a PlayStation release open. For now, Xbox and PlayStation players are left waiting for a more definitive answer.
