It's certainly a blow to PlayStation 5, though Sony has more than a few notable exclusives of its own on the horizon. Easily the most ear-catching part of Bethesda’s recent presentation on Starfield, their upcoming Xbox exclusive, was that it would have 100 star systems and 1,000 planets to. Not only did the company score the rights to the original sci-fi IP, but it also secured the entirety of Bethesda’s gaming portfolio. Perhaps, the price of Starfield’s exclusivity offered by Bethesda was too high for Sony to consider while Microsoft laid out an enormous sum of $7.5 billion without any hesitation.
While Sony was the first company to approach Bethesda with exclusivity discussions, it was Microsoft that took the talks to the level of proper actions. At Xbox's E3 conference, it was confirmed that Starfield is indeed an Xbox exclusive and it'll be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one when it launches in late 2022. It turns out that Sony was negotiating Starfield ’s PlayStation 5 exclusivity before the recent, hugely surprising Xbox buyout of Bethesda. Starfield is starting to get more details from Bethesda and one of the biggest ones is the confirmation of months of speculation. The developer is not quite ready to share any specific details regarding the game, but Pete Hines, Bethesda’s marketing chief, promised that the eventual reveal of Starfield would be worth the wait. Gaming insider Imran Khan reveals that Sony was in talks with Bethesda to secure exclusive rights to Starfield before the studio's Xbox buyout. Little to nothing is known about the title it is expected to focus on space exploration utilizing Bethesda’s traditional approach towards creating open-world RPGs. Back then, the company noted that the game was its first original project in 25 years since establishing The Elder Scrolls franchise. Starfield was announced at E3 2019 during Bethesda’s showcase as a brand new sci-fi IP.
