Xbox Considers Making Elder Scrolls VI, Fallout 5, Halo Exclusive

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Xbox is reportedly considering making its major franchises, including Elder Scrolls VI, Fallout 5, and Halo Infinite, exclusive to its platform. This move comes as Xbox faces significant challenges, including low profit margins and rising component costs, alongside a perceived lack of major exclusive titles. While exclusivity for Halo is seen as a strategic necessity, the high development costs and potential reduction in sales for Bethesda's Elder Scrolls and Fallout series make their exclusivity a more complex decision for Xbox.
