Xbox boss says he acquired Bethesda to deliver Game Pass exclusives

Xbox boss Phil Spencer further explained the company’s motivation behind its acquisition of Fallout publisher Bethesda. During a roundtable with key figures at Xbox and Bethesda today, Spencer said that the deal is about providing exclusives to its Game Pass subscription service.

“If you’re an Xbox customer, the thing I want you to know is that this is about delivering great exclusive games to you that ship on platforms where Game Pass exists,” Spencer explained. “That’s our goal. That’s why we’re doing this. That’s the root of this partnership.”
