Microsoft Corp. said Monday it plans to acquire ZeniMax Media Inc., owner of the storied video-game publisher Bethesda Softworks, for $7.5 billion, its biggest video game purchase ever.
Bethesda had previously agreed to debut two of its upcoming games,
Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo, on Sony’s new PlayStation rather than Xbox. Both games were announced as “timed console exclusives,” meaning that they would be
restricted to the PlayStation 5 for a fixed period of time before coming to Xbox.
It remains to be seen how this acquisition will affect that deal.
