PlayStation boss Jim Ryan doesn’t know if The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield are coming to PS5. 

This comes from an interview with Russian news agency TASS, where Ryan discussed how the decision for both titles to be released on PS5 is neither his or Sony’s, now that Microsoft has purchased Bethesda. He said, “That’s a decision that is out of our hands, we’ll wait and see what happens.” 

Ryan also discussed the process of Sony, saying, “We just take a different approach. Our emphasis has been to focus on really steady, slow, but constant organic growth of our studios, selectively bolstered by acquisitions. We respect the steps taken by our competition, they seem logical and sensible. But we’re equally happy and confident, we’ve got a better launch lineup than we’ve ever had at any of our console launches.” 

Microsoft bought Bethesda, the ZeniMax Media studio, back in September for a whopping $7.5 billion. Now that the company owns the company and the intellectual property, it’s unclear whether we’ll be seeing future Bethesda titles such Starfield on PS4 or PS5, or The Elder Scrolls 6 on PlayStation consoles. 

Looking for some escapism? Here’s a list a games that are just like Skyrim.
