Todd Howard did say in an interview with that The Elder Scrolls 6 being an Xbox exclusive is "hard to imagine." However, the latest biggest bombshell was Microsoft buying Bethesda, so that may or may not affect the release date of The Elder Scrolls 6. Since the Summer has come and gone, it's more than likely we won't hear about The Elder Scrolls 6 until Bethesda's next event in 2021. It’s likely to hit PC, but will it land on the Xbox Series X and PS5, or will it overshoot their life cycles entirely? Anything is possible given how little we know about this game. We don’t even know what consoles it’s going to land on. We imagine that the earliest we’ll see it is in 2024, considering Bethesda has to get through an entire sci-fi RPG first, and we all know how long that’s liable to take (hint: a very long time).

Overall, we’re not expecting The Elder Scrolls 6 to show up for at least a few years. Director and executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios, Todd Howard, actually told IGN at E3 2019 that “everyone should be very patient,” and just before nonexistent E3 2020, Peter Hines, SVP of global marketing at Bethesda, tweeted: "If you’re coming at me for details now and not years from now, I’m failing to properly manage your expectations.”
