Didn't work out so well for Bethesda. PlayStation secured Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo and were working on getting Starfield and all that did was light a fire under Xbox.
Not that I think the Bethesda deal had anything to do with Sonys moneyhats but im sure starfield still being up for grabs as a console exclusive was much more attractive to Microsoft than the former two. I’m not even sure why they bothered securing deals for Deathloop and Ghostwire, it did nothing for them this past year.
