According to a new report, Microsoft will share details of how its Bethesda acquisition will affect players, later this week.
Microsoft’s acquisition of Zenimax Media, the parent company of Bethesda, has been finalized and, according to a new report, Microsoft is ready to talk about what that means for much-loved franchises such as The Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Doom. According to a report by GamesBeat, „sources familiar with the plans“ told the publication that Microsoft is planning to hold a presentation on March 11 to discuss what the acquisition means for players. While the report claims that it’s unlikely we will get any solid details on upcoming Bethesda games like Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, Microsoft is expected to announce which of Bethesda games will be making their way to Xbox Game Pass – and that any upcoming Bethesda titles will land on Game Pass at launch. That means that Xbox Game Pass subscribers would get access to Starfield, The Elder Scrolls 6, the new Indiana Jones game, and any future Bethesda titles, on launch day for free as part of their Xbox Game Pass subscription. Both companies are also allegedly gearing up for announcements in the Summer (between June and September) but, while Bethesda is now technically a Microsoft studio, the report claims that the two companies plan to hold separate showcases.
