Bethesda games like Starfield currently in development will launch on Xbox Game Pass the same day that it launches on Xbox or computers, according to Microsoft.

The Xbox Game Pass may be one of the best values for gamers. With an assortment of indie games, some AA and AAA third-party games, and day-one access to all Xbox Game Studios releases, gamers get a lot for the subscription fees. When Bethesda games are loaded on Game Pass on launch day, no one can compete with the selection.

The Microsoft umbrella gets bigger and more profitable

With this purchase, Microsoft adds the Elder Scrolls series (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, etc.), Fallout, Doom, Prey, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, and The Evil Within to its growing game portfolio.

ZeniMax Media is one of the biggest, most creative companies in the industry. The 2020’s Doom Eternal, the sequel to 2016’s reboot of the first-person shooter series, was estimated to have at least 3 million copies pre-sold when it launched. And Skyrim, from the Elder Scrolls series, sold roughly 30 million copies by 2016, making it one of the best-selling video games ever.
