The decisions it makes over the next few years have the potential to fundamentally reshape the gaming industry. Microsoft is now at a crossroads when it comes to handling this influx of new titles. (You could also get Game Pass on its own for $10 a month on consoles and PC, but that doesn’t make much sense since you’ll likely want multiplayer support too.) Now with the upcoming Bethesda titles, and later a likely slew of others from the ZeniMax lineup, Game Pass will be a no-brainer subscription for most Xbox gamers. For $15 a month, you get access to 100 recent titles on console and PC, first-party Microsoft games, Xbox Live, and EA Play. When I argued that the Xbox Series S was an incredible next-gen deal, Game Pass Ultimate was a big part of that. (That Halo Infinite delay certainly didn’t help either.) But most importantly, it’s yet another win for Game Pass, as Microsoft has confirmed that Bethesda titles are headed to the subscription service over the coming months. It makes the Xbox Series X and S more compelling, especially given they’re launching with a relatively weak lineup. It brings renowned studios like Bethesda, id and Arkane into the Xbox family, along with popular franchises including Doom, The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Microsoft’s $7.5 billion acquisition of ZeniMax Media is huge news in many ways.
