Hard to imagine or not, the sequel to an Elder Scrolls game that has appeared on the PS3, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch will not appear on any of those systems. After all, Bethesda producer/director Todd Howard told last October that it would be "hard to imagine" that the next Elder Scrolls game wouldn't be allowed on non-Xbox consoles. But some fans were still holding out hope that Bethesda's massive fantasy RPG franchise would be a Minecraft-style exception to the general rule that Microsoft-owned games only appear on Microsoft platforms. Given all that, Elder Scrolls' absence from non-Xbox consoles might not be surprising.
