Uh oh, Microsoft may have inadvertently confirmedFallout 5’s Xbox exclusivity during its court battle against the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). If you listen closely, you can hear all the Fallout fans without a Series X/S screaming in horror.
The nextFalloutgame probably isn’t going to be releasing for quite some time.Bethesdaboss Todd Howard previously stated that afterStarfield, Bethesda’s focus will shift over toThe Elder Scrolls VI, which is still thought to be manyyears awayfrom completion.Only after that will the devs’ attention finally be turned toFallout 5, so who knows how long it’s going to take for that to release.

Regardless of when it happens,Fallout 5is on the way, but it sounds like it could be avoiding aPlayStationrelease altogether based on a newly revealed conversation betweenXbox’schief financial officer, Tim Stuart, and the head of Xbox Game Studios, Matt Booty. As IGNreports, the chat conversation (which took place in November 2021) was shared during Microsoft’s court battle last week, and centred around the fact that Xbox boss Phil Spencer had allegedly revealed that all future ZeniMax games will be Xbox console exclusives.

“All games going forward? Not just new IP, but ALL games going forward? Wow,” Stuart questioned. Booty replied: “Phil [Spencer] told them all titles going forward, Xbox exclusive.”
Plans can change, of course, and this announcement was supposedly made almost two years ago, so they may not be relevant anymore. Even so, it’s bound to be a little concerning for anyone who doesn’t already own a new-gen Xbox console.
