Xbox has announced that it has acquired ZeniMax Media, and with it Bethesda Softworks, creators and publishers of The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, Doom, Dishonored, Quake, Starfield and more.

Announced by Head of Xbox Phil Spencer in an Xbox Wire post today, Microsoft acquired ZeniMax Media for $7.5 billion – 3 times the $2.5 billion it paid for Mojang and Minecraft in 2014. The deal includes ZeniMax media as a whole, Bethesda Softworks, Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, ZeniMax Online Studios, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios.

Xbox says it "will be adding Bethesda’s iconic franchises to Xbox Game Pass for console and PC."

Thanks.
What's the consensus on this vs the PS5?
I've seen folks say they're getting both, but that's not an option here.
Also, where's the best place to pre-order?

Ideally I'd like to get four of the Series X.

One for resale and the other three to flip.

Phil taking away fanboy talking points one by one lol.

Best thing to happen to Sony was Phil not being in charge of Xbox when the one launched ..... Cause if he was the last generation would have been an entirely different thing.

Microsoft needs to name him Xbox chief for life ..... He has single handedly completely turned around peoples perceptions of the company. Even though I fucking hate how microsoft data mines it is hard to take issue with how they have done so many consumer friendly moves.

But this right here is fucking Baller level

It's a move that would be impossible for Sony to ever compete with.

I mean people are focusing on Bethesda but the fact that they now own Arkane, Id Software, and Machine Games is fucking crazy!!

[fonzerrillii]

As a First Person RPG fan...

I'm just over here




I'm really trying to work... but i'm so hyped right now

I just can't believe that they pulled off this kind of BALLER LEVEL move
