Xbox chief Phil Spencer echoed previous statements emphasizing Bethesda games won't become exclusive to the platform. Additionally, Spencer claimed that their aim has always been the improvement of the experience for Xbox owners.

PlayStation 5 consoles may be in short supply but Xbox clearly dominates the current market. Some of the Bethesda games included in the list are over 10 years old but they will still undoubtedly attract more players to Team Green's side.
