The team over at FRVR have had some very interesting interviews recently. Earlier this summer, the site spoke with former BioWare lead, Mark Darrah, learning a lot about the issues BioWare faces in the years ahead. Now, they've also spoken with a former Bethesda veteran, who made the bold prediction …

Earlier this week, Microsoft revealed the next stage of its Xbox reset plan, which involves merging several studios and shuffling some IP around. Halo was moved to Activision, Turn 10 and Playground Games merged, and Obsidian Entertainment is now a Bethesda studio.

Fallout 76 is finally getting its full current-gen update next month, bringing with it VRR support, improved visuals and more.

Typically, the announcement of a new video game update is met with excitement, as fans look forward to whatever new content / fixes are in store. When it comes to Bethesda though, updates are far less celebrated due to the fact that they often break mods and can even lead to new issues. In service of giving fans a heads-up, BGS has announced that both Fallout 4 and Skyrim will be receiving updates this year.

Bethesda and Xbox CEO, Asha Sharma, have begun teasing the title for the next Elder Scrolls game. Fans were given just one clue this week, the number of characters in the game’s subtitle.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has claimed that The Elder Scrolls VI features “incredible” grandeur and scale with its story being “even greater.”

Earlier this week, we learned that Xbox is planning to shut down three of its game development studios – Compulsion Games, Ninja Theory and Double Fine. Now just days later, it appears that companies under the Bethesda / Zenimax umbrella are also being targeted. According to George Broussard, a long-time …

Compared to both Skyrim and Fallout 4, Starfield is different. In not being tied to any legacy franchises or known IPs, not only was the space-exploration RPG working with a lower potential sales floor, but Bethesda Game Studios also needed to make the world of Starfield one which players were interested in beyond its gameplay mechanics. This didn’t quite pan out, and so for the first time in decades Bethesda did what fans had been asking – they made the game better. Starfield is Bethesda Game Studios’ most improved title.

Bethesda is seemingly set to bring Starfield over to the Nintendo Switch 2 thanks to a new listing on the Taiwanese Game Rating Board.

Arriving tomorrow alongside the long-awaited Terran Armada DLC (and their ‘free lanes’ update), the team have detailed all of the various PS5 exclusive features being implemented – including creative use of the DualSense controller.

Bethesda has announced plans to bring Starfield to PS5 in early April, but there is actually good news for fans on all platforms. On the same date as the PS5 release, a massive free update will be rolling out to all platforms, adding highly-requested features to the game. On top of that, a new story DLC titled Terran Armada is also dropping.

For a while, it was unclear whether or not Starfield would ever come to PS5 consoles, despite consistent rumours claiming that it would. Now after around two years of waiting, Bethesda has finally announced its plans. 

Earlier this week, Iron Galaxy appeared to be teasing something after posting about a company meeting, with an image attached of the Fallout 'Please Stand By' loading screen. Now after sending fans imaginations into overdrive, the studio has apologised.

For years, fans have wanted to see Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas remastered for newer hardware. Development may have actually just begun on that exact thing, according to a teaser from Iron Galaxy Studios.

When Bethesda rolled out the Switch 2 patch for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, fans were disappointed by the graphics upgrade and lack of performance mode. This had many wondering if Fallout 4 on Switch 2 would also ship in a fairly barebones state. As it turns out, a lot …
