On the occasion of the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, Microsoft has compiled an important list. games coming soon on Xbox Series X | S and One in 2022 and the first half of 2023. As some have pointed out, neither is on the list. Ghostwire’s Death Cycle: Tokyo. What happened to the Xbox versions?
As we know both games are intellectual property of Microsoft and currently owned by Microsoft. Special thunderstorms for PS5 Before the latter was acquired by Microsoft, thanks to close deals between Sony and Bethesda.
However, the exclusivity period will expire in a year: Deathloop’s will last until September 14, 2022, and Ghostwire: Tokyo’s will last until March 25, 2023. So why aren’t the two Bethesda games mentioned among those coming to Xbox Series X? | In the next 12 months? Could it be that Microsoft has decided to delay the launch to a period after the first half of 2023?
In fact, most likely Microsoft simply can’t announce yet Xbox Series X of both games | S versions. The contract signed between Sony and Bethesda may actually ban the latter from launching the two games on other platforms as long as the PS5 exclusivity still applies.
So even if Microsoft didn’t release it directly, Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo’s Xbox Series X | It can announce S versions. the same day where the deal will end.
Frankly, we can’t know for sure the terms of the deals between Bethesda and Sony, and we can’t even preliminarily rule out that Microsoft has decided to release these two games for PS5 long after the exclusivity period, although unlikely.
