Microsoft announced its acquisition of Bethesda in 2020, but the purchase was only completed in March of the following year, and since there are several bureaucratic stages, rituals must be followed and this usually takes a long time. In addition, there are contracts concluded with other companies that must be respected under pain of high fines.
In light of this, even though we’ve been aware of this acquisition for some time, Xbox users are still waiting to reap these rewards. Remember, in this period, Bethesda released two games, both timed exclusives on Playstation: Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo.
Ghostwire Tokyo was Bethesda’s last PlayStation exclusive for obvious reasons, and it launched last week. As of now, Microsoft/Bethesda is free to focus on developing branded Xbox and PC games.
