Bethesda Game Studios often goes many years between releases, and following Starfield's launch in September, its next game is The Elder Scrolls VI. But "next" doesn't mean "soon," as Xbox boss Phil Spencer revealed the game is five or more years away--and he isn't sure what systems it will release on.

Speaking during his sworn testimony as part of the ongoing FTC and Microsoft trial, Spencer was asked about console exclusivity on Bethesda's games, including The Elder Scrolls VI. He was unable to provide a concrete answer regarding which platforms it would ship on, however, because he himself does not know yet.

"As I said, with Elder Scrolls VI, it's so far out--it's hard to understand what platforms will even be at this point," Spencer said. "It's the same team that's finishing Starfield, which comes out this September. So we're talking about a game that's like five-plus years away."
