Poll: Has The Bethesda News Convinced You To Pre-Order An Xbox Series X|S?

Well. this news has convinced and cemented my decision of getting an Xbox Series console for the next generation, but not necessarily at launch. I still have a bunch of Xbox One games to play.

No, they'll still play best on PC, so for me it's no change. Unless they make a big game I want an actual Xbox console exclusive.

I was going to get an XSX regardless.

But wow! Microsoft does a 🎤 drop today!!

I don't see why this would make anyone preorder an Xbox, its not as if Bethesda has any amazing games coming any time soon with the likes of Starfield and Elder Scrolls years away.

I'm probably going to preorder the Series S, I already have one for PS5 so the X is out of the question for now (far too many birthdays and Xmas coming up) but £250 is a very tempting price point

Doesn't make a difference to me (yet), as the Medium is the only title from the launch titles that has really got my attention.

@Medic_Alert

I completely agree! This is a long term power move by Microsoft.

I never pre order consoles. I've only pre ordered one game (portal knights) and I'm never pre ordering again because it didn't have public multiplayer (friends only). Series S will be my first none pre owned console if I'm still alive by then if you know what I mean with current events.

Off topic but saw someone on Twitter say that now they should do a doom/halo crossover, or add doom guy to halo lol. Or Killer Instinct.

Imagine a doom ship set in Sea of Thieves.

@Medic_Alert I agree it'll be exciting for the platform just not for quite some time

GamePass on PC for now. Maybe a series x in a year or two.

Was getting a series X anyway. But this news is insane.

I'm definitely getting a Series S now lol

Sony has lost the appeal to the PlayStation, namely its exclusives as I believe more and more will be picked to PC, Sony will need to make their money. I have been split in which console but siding with the Xbox, this just makes me lean a bit more towards it.. I am not getting one at launch though so will be able to see real life comparisons etc before I make my decision. But the Series X is exciting me more. It also looks a damn site better and more compact then thenPS5!

Was gonna get the Series X regardless, This is just the cherry on top..

I hope this does not make it harder for me to get my preorder through!

Well the truth is I'm still getting a PS5 regardless

I already have a pretty solid gaming PC so I'll get access to Xbox exclusives regardless, but nothing on the Xbox side in terms of new games has really wowed me as of yet outside Hellblade and the new Obsidian RPG. However I wouldn't want to miss out on Miles Morales, God of War Ragnarok, Demon's Souls and Final Fantasy XVI

Especially given I'm jumping into next gen hopefully at launch, Xbox's lineup so far looks super underwhelming and pretty pathetic next to PS5's.

I've been somewhat on the fence between Xbox and ps5. I like the Xbox and gamepass however ps5 has great exclusives. This takes Gamepass to the next level and I think may solidify me buying the series x/s.

Getting both here so win-win as far as im concerned, the more competition Sony has the more it will have to react sooner or later, gamers win.

Just want to wish everyone good luck tomorrow with preordering 😊

Allready preorderd last saturday (like many people here allready weeks and months ago did.

Well I’m going to try to preorder one tomorrow. Super Nervous there.

@TheFrenchiestFry parts of the industry at the moment are definitely favoring PC users. Which is cool because it just gives people options, so they don’t feel locked in.

@mousieone In a perfect world Xbox games would come to Xbox and PC, Sony games would be Playstation and PC, and Nintendo games would be Nintendo and PC.

But sadly no.

@KelticDevil major power move!! If you could have one of these studios bring back/take over a Microsoft ip that is dead or weak, which studio and what ip?

@Menchi yeah I think it’s tough sell for Nintendo. (They have issues putting their own games on their own platform) Sony might in a few years once they see how much money that market can generate for them.

@xMightyMatt14x

Maybe Arkane could make a great Perfect Dark game?

I want to see a new Quake game that isn’t just multiplayer!

I am definitely getting an Xbox series x but I’m waiting for a limited edition,maybe a new fallout 5 game with a special edition fallout Xbox series x console at some point would be a dream come true

@TheGamerKing Are you playstation_king?

@TheGamerKing No problem, I appreciate your sincerity 😄. Welcome to the multiparadise.

I was already on board but this just makes me feel so much better about my decision. Hope i lockdown a console tomorrow! Imagine Skyrim without the loading screens? Cuts the game by half i imagine. Any word on when games will be in gamepass…..Doom eternal specifically?

Nope, still gonna play these games on PC and pick up a PS5 sometime next year, and a Switch Pro if they decide to do an upgraded model.

@KelticDevil I like it! Id personally like to see a new fusion frenzy. I’m just not sure who would be good to make it lol

I was always going to preorder, now I'm just frightened that it gets messy tomorrow with too much people in my usual shop !

Let's hope I can get one before it's sold out !

Nah, the games will be best on PC.

I was already considering a Series X because of GamePass and waking up to some major news pushed me over the edge, but alas, I couldn't secure a launch preorder. I'll just pick one up around this time next year.

I'm already pre-ordering but I'm hoping this will get Bethesda out of their slump of making crappy games.

They've not made a good RPG since Morrowind. They did publish Obsidian's Fallout New Vegas. Maybe with MS owning Obsidian too we can get a game from them again?

Doom, they've kept pretty solid. Wolf, they ruined with Youngblood.

I was honestly finished with buying Bethesda games, but maybe MS can give them blank checks to do things with their huge likes like they have with smaller companies like Rare with Sea of Thieves.

I won't be getting a Xbox Fridge till they come down to at least 200 pound. PS5 at 400

@xMightyMatt14x

Not gonna lie......I highly doubt that will happen. But who knows these days? Lol.
