Sony argues that this fact makes Microsoft's promises to keep Call of Duty multiplatform irrelevant.
Microsoft previously said it had three Xbox and PC-exclusive ZeniMax titles in the pipeline, but The Elder Scrolls 6 might not be in that group.
Howard says Bethesda is aware that people will be playing The Elder Scrolls 6 for a long time, and that has impacted how the studio approaches development.
BGS' Todd Howard says that the team will be working on Fallout 5 once Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 have been done with.

With Bethesda Game Studios currently focused on Starfield, it seems like work on The Elder Scrolls 6 is still moving at a gradual pace.
"In order to be on Xbox, I want us to be able to bring the full complete package of what we have," says Xbox boss Phil Spencer.
Todd Howard says single player experiences are a core part of the studio's DNA, but they could still utilize multiplayer and social ideas in games in the future.
Though the vast majority of development work is currently being done on Starfield, "everybody works on everything," says Howard.
You can make arguments for either side, but one makes more sense than the other.
Howard is an executive producer on the recently announced MachineGames title.
"I think chasing scale for scale’s sake is not always the best goal," says Todd Howard.
"I look forward to learning about that," says Jim Ryan.
Director Todd Howard also discusses using procedural generation for world creation.
Unsurprisingly, that is all he says on that matter.
"I think 2-4 million players who would otherwise have owned PlayStation will now own Xbox," says the industry analyst.
