Microsoft has agreed to acquire ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Doom and
Fallout studio Bethesda Softworks, for $7.5 billion in cash. The acquisition
follows earlier Bethesda games coming to Xbox Game Pass on console and PC,
and it gives Microsoft control of upcoming games like the space epic
Starfield. Microsoft says future Bethesda games, including Starfield, will
launch on Xbox Game Pass the day they come to Xbox or PC.

The news arrives just as Microsoft is gearing up to launch two new consoles,
the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S. The companies haven’t confirmed how
this might affect the launch of specific future Bethesda games across
different platforms, including the Bethesda-published Arkane game Deathloop,
which was previously announced as a timed PlayStation 5 and PC exclusive.

Microsoft will launch its next-generation consoles on November 10th, and
preorders open tomorrow. This acquisition also brings the company’s total
list of internal studios to 23, following the addition of Bethesda
sub-studios like Dishonored developer Arkane, Wolfenstein studio
MachineGames, Doom maker id Software, and The Evil Within studio Tango
Gameworks. However, Microsoft says Bethesda will retain its existing
leadership.

“We’re still working on the same games we were yesterday, made by the same
studios we’ve worked with for years, and those games will be published by us,
” wrote Bethesda marketing head Pete Hines in a statement.
