Because it allows us to make even better games going forward,\u201d Peter Hines, Microsoft\u2019s Gaming EVP, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/2020\/09\/21\/welcoming-bethesda-to-the-xbox-family\/\">added<\/a>. \u201cMicrosoft is an incredible partner and offers access to resources that will make us a better publisher and developer.

To grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of the deal, Xbox will be adding Bethesda\u2019s franchises to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/xbox-game-pass\">Xbox Game Pass<\/a>, which gives players access to hundreds of games via the cloud on a sub<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion basis.<\/p>\n<p>For Bethesda, joining forces with Microsoft is yet another instance of the studio working alongside Microsoft and the Xbox gaming system, a partnership that\u2019s been intact for years;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe share a deep belief in the fundamental power of games, in their ability to connect, empower, and bring joy,\u201d Bethesda Games Studios game director and executive producer Todd Howard <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bethesda.net\/en\/article\/4IwKWIj174Cb2QNTTtBAEb\/todd-howard-on-joining-xbox\">wrote<\/a>. \u201cAnd a belief we should bring that to everyone \u2013 regardless of who you are, where you live, or what you play on. Regardless of the screen size, the controller, or your ability to even use one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Bethesda will be owned by Microsoft, that doesn\u2019t mean that all of its games moving forward will only be available for the Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, and PC. Some of its existing games such as Ghostwire: Tokyo have an exclusive window for the PlayStation 5 before it can move over to the Xbox.
