"Howard reiterates that the details of the deal are still being finalised. When it comes to such releases, he says, "We haven't gone through all of that, to be honest."
"I can't really project where things will be except to say we've done those sort of exercises ourselves as an independent. If you look at every Elder Scrolls game, there has been some exclusivity on Xbox or with Microsoft.'
"We'll decide what makes the best sense for our audience when the time comes, and I can't really project today what that looks like."
Also, Todd never says 'it's hard to imagine Elders Scrolls not being on PS5' in the article.
The interviewer states, 'it's hard to imagine MS would restrict TES VI to its own platforms', to which Howard states, "I would agree that it is hard to imagine" and says no more beyond that.
At the end of day, Phil Spencer has made it clear that they are going to bring their games to as many platforms as possible, but not closed platforms like the Switch and PS5.
