Regulators from both the European Commission and US Securities Exchange Commission approved Microsoft’s $7.5 billion acquisition of Bethesda Software’s parent company, Zenimax Media, on March 8.
Before the acquisition was finalized, Xbox executive vice president Phil Spencer had said that upcoming Bethesda games would launch on the subscription service the same day they were released.
With the addition of the Bethesda creative teams, gamers should know that Xbox consoles, PC, and Game Pass will be the best place to experience new Bethesda games, including some new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC players,” Spencer wrote in a blog post.
Game Pass is the deal that keeps on getting better, and if Microsoft makes more show-stopping moves like their Bethesda acquisition, it won’t be long before Game Pass is the deal in gaming.
