Microsoft has entered a deal to purchase Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media for $7.5 billion USD. That means that everything from Fallout and the Elder Scrolls to Doom and Wolfenstein are coming under the Xbox umbrella, and Microsoft has confirmed that the company's biggest titles will be making their way to Xbox Game Pass.
"We will be adding Bethesda's iconic franchises to Xbox Game Pass for console and PC", Xbox chief Phil Spencer says in a Microsoft blog. No specific titles or timelines are named in the announcement, but it's safe to expect past Bethesda titles like Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Doom Eternal to hit the service sooner rather than later.
A number of games under the Bethesda umbrella are already on Game Pass, though some have only been available on the console version of the service. On Game Pass for PC, you can currently play Fallout 76 and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Dishonored 2 is also currently on Game Pass for PC, but is scheduled to leave at the end of September.
